Antlers

The giant Irish Elk, at the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C.
Velvet covers a growing antler and provides it with blood, supplying oxygen and nutrients.

Antlers are usually large, branching structures, made of bone, which grow on the heads of deer and similar animals.

With deer, only males have antlers. Only reindeer (caribou) have antlers on the females, and these are normally smaller than those of the males.
