Velvet. The antlers on your Axis or chital deer are covered in what is termed as velvet. It is basically the blood supply to growing antlers. When the antlers are fully grown, (they shed them every year and grow new ones) the deer will rub the velvet off and it will look like your typical bony antlers. Amazing stuff. Are you guys settled in back in the states yet?
We are back in the U.S. Currently in Chicago but going back and forth from here and New Jersey. Thank you for the information about Bambi and company!

A few weeks ago we were in the Hauz Khas section of New Delhi wondering around and we came upon these fellows (believe it or not in a place named Deer [Image] Park). It looks as if someone had taken some gauze and wrapped their antlers with it. Kind of like antler bumpers in case they should get in to a deer fender bender. The thing is, there were also deer (in the same herd or whatever it's called) that had regular bony antlers. Weird. I asked Kristina why just to get a picture of what she looks like when she is pondering something (see the last picture). [Image] [Image]
