How to use "Antler" in context?
When a deer sheds its antlers, it is going through a natural process known as Telurie. During the shedding process, the antlers are broken off the skull and the new antlers are pushed out through the skin. There is no harm done to the deer during this process, and they can usually start wearing their new antlers within a few days.
The antlers are actuallyREGIONAL LUMBER OF THE HEAD. They are made up of several pieces of bone that grow out of a spongy tissue on the inside of the deer's skull.
