Detailed explanation-1: -Reindeer are the only deer species to be widely domesticated. They are used as draft animals to pull heavy loads and farmed for their milk, meat, and hides. The antiparasitic drug ivermectin is FDA-approved to treat and control warbles in reindeer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transport. Reindeer are the only domesticated species of deer, and people have been using them to get around since the stone age. People ride on their backs like horses, and use small herds of them to drive sleds, just like Santa.
Detailed explanation-3: -In traditional festive legend and popular culture, Santa Claus’s reindeer are said to pull a sleigh through the night sky to help Santa Claus deliver gifts to children on Christmas Eve.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike birds, reindeer do not have feathers, but the hairs of Santa’s reindeer do have hollow shafts within them. The short hairs close to the reindeers’ skin can fluff up to trap air and the longer hairs appear tapered at the ends, making them more aerodynamic. Their antlers have an aerodynamic structure too.
