Interestingly Dull Factoid #2 - Christmas Special

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Reindeer and Caribou are actually the same species, that regardless of age or sex wear a rather fetching set of antlers - unlike other deer species where is it is only the gents that wear such head ornaments.

These antlers are always in vogue as a new set are grown each year (antlers being the fastest growing tissue in the animal kingdom).

Not sure why Rudolph has a red nose though - maybe Santa isn't the only one that likes a tipple?
