Reindeer are known as magical creatures but they have truly amazing features; they see light within the ultraviolet range, their noses are full of blood vessels which cool warm air down as it leaves the body and warms cold air up as it comes in, there antlers are the largest of all deer and they are the only species in which the females also grow antlers.
