Topic Reading-Vol.1346-12/18/2015

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Reindeers are more amazing than you think
Rudolph the Reindeer had a very shiny nose. On one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came and asked to him to guide his sleigh that night. Since then on, Rudolph became popular Rudolph the red-nose Reindeer. Is reindeer’s nose really read and shiny?
Not really. But one thing for sure is that they are well registrant to cold climate and environment. They have remarkable features to live in arctic region without feeling so cold unless temperature goes down below -40 C.
How? They change their body features by season including their highly insulated coat, sophisticated heat exchange mechanism inside the nuzzle and seasonally adjusted eye color.
Reindeers are actually adapted for a life in such cold places more comfortably and suitably than we thought.
Enjoy reading and learning how they can manage to live in extreme.
