Because they are native to tundra environments, it is natural that Santa Claus uses reindeer to pull his sleigh. A single reindeer can pull twice its weight for miles on end as used by the nomadic Saami people of northern Scandinavia. Reindeer are the only species of deer where both sexes have antlers, which are made up of fast-growing bone material. Males, however, grow a gender-specific "brow shovel", which they use to clear snow off of potential food grasses, at least until they lose them toward the early part of December.
