Leave My Antlers Alone!
Antlers on deer have evolved for two primary purposes: to assert dominance over their territory and to attract potential mates. These impressive features are crucial in the deer’s survival and reproductive strategies.
However, sometimes antlers are used in ways one might not expect. In this instance, a deer has managed to skewer another animal, possibly a pig or a mountain lion, on its antlers. This unexpected use of antlers reminds us of the power and potential danger these natural weapons can pose, urging caution around deer with prominent antlers.
