The saiga antelope (Saiga tatarica).
While this #antelope won’t be taking Rudolph’s job anytime soon, the #saiga just so happens to have its own special nose. Serving as a built-in humidifier and air filter, its nose helps it survive the dry steppes and deserts of central Asia where it lives. The saiga’s impressive nose filters out dust during dry summers and warms the air it breathes during frigid winters!
