White Tail Deer

Yesterday I was able to get a picture of this beautiful white tail deer.  I think this is a young buck, since the top of the head is kinda square looks like antlers are forming.  I learned some really cool things.  Did you know that antlers are not horns?  Horns are permanent while antlers are shed each year in November or December.  The antlers are replaced by "velvet" which dries over the next few months and is replaced by the new antlers.  Now you won't believe this!  If a deer's antlers are removed and surgically attached to another part of his body, they will grow!!!!
