It is a lot of fun! Reindeers Story Time By: Samantha Joseph Have you ever heard of reindeers, and how they steer Santa s sleigh at the night before Christmas? Well, reindeers don t fly but some actually have a red nose! There are so many other interesting facts about reindeers that you surely won t regret reading.

9 Did you know in North America reindeers are called caribou? Some people in North America mistakenly think caribou and reindeers are 2 different types of species but they're wrong. Reindeers are part of the deer family (I think that makes sense) also known as the Cervidae family. This includes deer, elk, moose, and wapiti. Like the other animals in this family, reindeers have long legs, hooves, and antlers (not all animals in the deer family have antlers), but reindeers have the largest and heaviest antlers of all living deer species. A male s antlers can measure up to 51 inches (130 centimeters) long, and a female s antlers can reach 20 inches (50 centimeters). Says the San Diego Zoo website. And the antlers of a male will fall of around the month of november (Sometimes even early december) but will soon grow back again. But a females antlers stay on long after (but they do fall of).

10 The winter Fight Once upon a time there were 3 best friends. They had a sleep over at Gianna s.house everyone's name was Gianna, Grace and Payton. They went to a place called the YMCA. There was ice skating, skiing and hockey. We all wanted to play the same thing, but it didn t happen They all got in a fight, ut it wasn t any ordinary fight, it was THE WINTER FIGHT! They were in a fight because everyone wanted to go ice skating, but there were not enough skates. They all were yelling at each other and walked away with their arms crossed and rolled eyes They asked Giannas mom that if they did not have to have a playdate they didn t want a sleepover ether. But they met each other at

11 the park. They agreed to be friends as long as this did not happen next year. The Blue Whale Did you know that the blue whale is largest animal that ever lived. The blue whale can reach up to 100 meters and weigh up to 150 tons. The color of the blue whale is darkish blue with speckled light blue dots. The blue whale eats krill and copepods.
