Reindeer are built for the cold climate of the Arctic regions, so living at the North Pole is not a hardship for Santa’s herd.
The rugged animals have two layers of fur for warmth, a thick undercoat and longer hollow, air-filled hairs. Their sharp hoofs dig into the ice, whether on the tundra or on rooftops. They are strong and used as pack animals by herders in northern Europe and North America. Reindeer can be taught to pull a sleigh, though its runners usually stay on the ground.
Reindeer are thought to be the only mammals that can see ultraviolet light. This allows them to recognize objects that would normally blend into their Arctic landscape or a winter’s sky.
Though they share many characteristics with their non-flying relatives, it takes a special kind of reindeer to pull St. Nick’s sleigh each Christmas Eve. Santa’s reindeer are different from all others because of their ability to fly. There are many theories about how they gained this unique skill. Some believe a powerful wizard gave Santa magic corn to feed his team. Others say the antlers catch the wind like the wings of a plane.
Most people would say it is another part of Santa’s annual journey that cannot be explained, but just needs to be believed.
