    LinDa's Day 76 : Antler or Horn?


    I shall not # this cause its only for the poppycocks gang...

    Fun fact : Can anyone tell me what is the difference between a antler and a horn? Look at the picture below,  antler or horn?  Those who got the answer right,  give yourself a pat on your back!  But those who doesn't , do not dismay! This is where I can share my happy fun fact with you!!

    A antler is one that branches out into other smaller branches example like many species of deers and they shed every year . Whereas a horn doesn't branches out and they don't shed at all .  They only grow into one full length.  Example like oryx and rhino.

    For those who are curious as to what is the answer for the picture attached... 






    BINGO !
    It's a antler! This particular one is from a young Barasingha ! It doesn't show any branches yet cause this is from a young deer and they shed off their antlers twice every year !
