    Male & female Reindeer grow antlers, but males lose them in winter. All Santa’s reindeer, Rudolph too, are therefore female.

        @neiltyson You know... Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen were always questionable choice for male Reindeer names. Now we know why 😂

        @LydiaBurrell @thewebhill @neiltyson If your children cry over the gender of reindeer, I think you have bigger problems than his tweet.

        @neiltyson which means they're earning approximately 71% of what the male reindeer earn. Santa. That naughty, not nice.

        @neiltyson how deep into winter do they lose them, though? Winter is only 3 days old at this point

        @nealhgottlieb Perhaps I can return the favor & give u the words "cloaca" and "casu marzu". But you may already know them. If not, enjoy.
