Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

Description

No one mentioned this as a plausible explanation to why. Nasal reddening via the activities of cave lions.

A choke-hold to the muzzle is a common tactic of suffocating prey among the big cats. Granted, the tooth marks rarely break the skin, I do believe nasal hemorrhages do occur at times.
The Alaskan find, Blue Babe (Ice age steppe bison, Bison priscus) had puncture marks on its snout complete with coagulated blood in its nasal cavity, and a tooth fragment found in its hide, which, added to the presence of matching canine-marks on the snout and scratch marks on the legs confirm cave lions to be the killer.
Here I replicate this with a reindeer.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!!Merry christmas everybody

P.S. I don't have much time for art, so this may look slightly rushed.
