JUST DEER DRESSED UP

Are there really raindeer? or is there just deers with christmas bells on or whatever?
They are called reindeer and live and work for residents of snowy Lapland in the northern parts of Scandenavia. They look like deer mixed with gazelle and can be domesticated. They are used as pack animals as well as pulling sleighs, etc. Their meat, milk and hides' products are in demand, too. Yes, Rudolph and his cousins did indeed exist.
Reply:There is such a thing as a reindeer (that is the correct spelling). I think they live in Scandanavian countries.
