Reindeer don't fly but they do sometimes have red noses!
Here are some interesting facts about these animals:
- Reindeer or in North America called 'caribou' are the only species in which the females also grow antlers in order to defend food in small patches of cleared snow.
- In colder climates the increase in blood flow in the nose will help keep the nose's surface warm, so that the air gets warm too before it gets to their lungs.
- Golden eagles are the leading predator of caribou calves in the late spring and fall.
- Caribou migrate over 3,000 miles in a year, more than any other land mammal.
- Some subspecies have knees that make a clicking noise when they walk so the animals can stay together.

Beautiful photograph bertokandi 👏 Female growing antlers is a good, impressive one... I know a useful fact about their beard- it drains the rain/snow water from their neck, so that the neck doesn't get frozen! I am totally amazed by their adaptation and am a big fan :)

and +1 fact: in animal symbolism reindeer means 'the outsider', a sensitive soul who can never fit in the world.
