Reindeer

Reindeers are a species of deer mentioned in The Lion Guard.

In the Real World
In most populations, both sexes grow antlers; the reindeer is the only cervid species in which females grow them as well as males.

Antlers begin to grow on male reindeer in March or April and on female reindeer in May or June. This process is called antlerogenesis. Antlers grow very quickly every year on the males.

The colour of the fur varies considerably, both between individuals and depending on season and subspecies. Northern populations, which usually are relatively small, are whiter, while southern populations, which typically are relatively large, are darker.

In the Real World
A variety of predators prey heavily on reindeer, including over-hunting by people in some areas, which contributes to the decline of populations.
