European deer
European deer are among the largest (most powerful) members of their family. Males grow 175-230 cm and weigh between 160-240 kg.
The most typical feature for males are antlers, which they drop every year, usually at the end of winter. In the spring, when the antlers grow new antlers, they are covered with a fine protective velvet layer, called a bastard, which nourishes the growing antler and is later beaten by trees. The antlers are made of bone, which can grow an average of 2.5 cm per day. In addition, in adult males, there are some growths on the antlers, which are technically called privileges, and which grow and increase with age.
