Fact 72: Do some reindeer have a red nose?

Fact 72: Do some reindeer have a red nose?

Now this answer will definitely surprise you, because I was flabbergasted (surprised) to know that the answer is sort of yes Some reindeers noses look/have a slightly dark redsh pinky tint because basically some, however not all are actually visible, this is as a result of reindeer having alot of blood vessels in their noses because blood plays a role in regulating body temperature. I have found out that the blood vessels help the reindeer smell and, that the blood vessels warm  the nose which also warms the brain (warm blood = warm brain because the warm blood goes to the brain). This is because all  the blood vessels in the nose creates thermal energy, 75°F (= 23.889°C) and so the blood vessels are able to keep the brain and body warm by warming the cold air coming into the nose and cooling warm air coming out of the nose this keeps the body and brain warm which helps with smell (as well as other things like thinking, eating, moving and so on) but this does mean that the reindeers noses is still slightly hotter. So the nose is very hot because of the amount of blood vessels and blood in the nose. 

All reindeers noses, are, visibly red under (and with/using) thermal cameras because of the blood vessels as previously mentioned warms the nose (more than the brain). The legs also have lots of blood vessels so the temperature of the legs also reaches 75°F (= 23.889°C).
