is rudolph a real reindeer

Yes, Rudolph is a real reindeer who lives at the North Pole with the other reindeer. He has a shiny red nose that is believed to be the result of an odd genetic mutation that gives him the ability to glow brightly. Santa loves Rudolph and relies on him to light the way for the sleigh on dark nights. He is often seen with his fellow reindeer, pulling the sleigh or flying with the other reindeer in the Christmas Eve sky.
