| The antlers of this deer resemble sharp mountaing tops, elevating themselves over the deer´s head. Nearly all male deer have antlers that regrown each year. Antlers grow as highly vascular spongy tissue covered in a skin called velvet. Before the mating season, the antlers calcify under the velvet and become hard. The velvet is then torn away leaving hard bone antlers. After the mating season, the antler falls off. |
