Antlers


Just like in humans sometimes abnormalities happen to dear growth. Sometimes these bizzare antlers happen because of an injury on the pedicle.

Here is a rare picture of antler abnormality. These deer are often put down because when they rut the deer dont lock in and push each other, instead the deer with the strange antlers ends up killing the other deer.

Here are some sketches by Dr. Anthony Bubenik who was studying antlers at the university of Ontario. It shows some of the grand and very different antlers that can be grown
