After a baby reindeer is born, it is taken care of by its mother for the first few weeks of its life. The mother will teach the baby how to walk, how to eat, and how to survive in the wild. The baby will learn how to fly, how to pull a sleigh, and how to use its antlers to fight off predators. Once the baby reindeer is strong enough, it will join the rest of the herd and be taught how to be a Christmas reindeer.
