In Europe and the United States, most of Santa's reindeer have traditionally masculine names, such as Rodolfo, Comet, Cupid, Thunder and Lightning, while the others are called Runner, Dancer, Prancer and Fox. However, during part of the year, male reindeer lose their antlers. So despite their masculine names, it's likely that the reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh are actually female. The idea of Santa's reindeer has roots in Norse and Scandinavian mythology. Rudolph, with his bright red nose, is one of the most famous reindeer in history.
