The study looked at the deer's nasal circulation and found similarities to the microvasculature in the region with that of humans.

Ealdwita Posted December 23, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) It all dates back to a winter's day long ago in Russia when the wife of a farmer named Rudolf looked out of the kitchen window and said "I zink it iz snowing, Rudolf." Rudolf looked up from his bowl of borsch and replied, "Nyet Olga, zat is rain zat you see." Olga looked again and had to agree with her husband, it was raining. "You are a very clever man, Rudolf." she said. Rudolf slurped another spoonful and nodded, "Rudolf ze Red knows rain dear." Sorry about that!

Doctor manhattan Posted December 24, 2012 #18 Share Posted December 24, 2012 "These results highlight the intrinsic physiological properties of Rudolph's legendary luminous red nose, which help to protect it from freezing during sleigh rides and to regulate the temperature of the reindeer's brain, factors essential for flying reindeer pulling Santa Claus' sleigh under extreme temperatures," study author Can Ince of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, wrote in a statement, according to ABC News. i love how they can explain scientifically how rudolfs nose glows but they just expect us believe that reindeer can fly.
