Some netizens asked questions

Is the antlers for antler?

Of course there are many netizens

Give everyone popular science in the comment area

This is a normal phenomenon

I remember in "Animal World" that in the zoo or protection base, there will often be contradictions between deer groups (including estrus periods). When contradictions occur, the male deer will use the corner of the head to attack the other party. On the one hand, the two antlers may still be stuck in the food, and they cannot avoid natural enemies. For the sake of the deer, they will see the antlers.

The reason for "cutting the antlers":

(Sliding rolling axis to see the full text of popular science)

The Hangzhou Zoo Vice Park Changjiang Zhiye said that the hits of the male sika deer are born every year (females do not have long horn). It starts to grow in spring and starts at the beginning. Hard, completely ossifying in autumn, becoming a weapon for fighting, which is dangerous to other deer and caregivers. By the spring of the next year, there was a new corner.

The northeast sika deer is very mature in my country's artificial breeding. Now the artificially raised Northeast sika deer is no longer the category of "wild animals". It has been deleted from the protection of animal lists and is placed under the agricultural sector management. It is an animal. The artificial deer must be cut, otherwise it is easy to hurt each other and even die, and at the same time, it is dangerous to the breeders.

Drive the key points:

1. There is a fundamental difference between antlers and antler

When the Bucks had grown out of the corner, it was an antler, and it turned into antlers after ossification. The antlers basically had no medicinal value. There are very few blood in the antlers. Generally, the zoo is operated only after the antlers are completely ossified in August each year. Except for some beautiful antlers to make specimens, the rest are crushed.

2. Cut the antlers is out of safety considerations

Unlike many people's impressions of the deer shape, deer is actually a very fierce, cruel, and offensive animal. Especially the Bucks of estrus. The fighting between the male deer is extremely fierce, and the failed party will be severely damaged and even killed. Even when Luwa was angry, he would not be mercilessly attacking until the other party died, and he had a huge threat to the breeder.

Every spring, the deer itself will change the corner, but some deer is very troublesome to take off the old corner. Cutting away from them to find a wall to hit the wall.

Not only that, the older the male deer, the larger the antlers, the more fork, which is not a good thing for the male deer. The growth of the antlers will consume a lot of calcium. At this time, the calcium in other parts of the body will be added to the antlers, which eventually leads to calcium deficiency in the Bucks and is prone to fractures and injuries.

Excessive antlers can also lead to a larger head weight, making it difficult to look down for food and look up for food. It is difficult to eat a lot of food. It is easier to die when the environment is harsh.

It's another day of knowledge!
