Kommer du ihåg igår när jag sa att renarna hade crazy eyes? Nu vet jag varför, kolla in hornen. Tydligen när de ska till och tappa hornen till vintern så avslutas blodtillförseln och "ullen" ramlar av. Ofta kliar renarna sina horn mot träd för att få bort det, jag antar att det är därför det ser så brutalt ut? När nätterna blir längre på vintern producerar rentjuren mer testosteron som gör att de får betydligt mer muskler, blir aggressivare och till sist tappar dem hornen. Inte undra på att dom var skitförbannade!
English: Do you remember yesterday when I mentioned that the deer had crazy eyes? Now I know why... check out the antlers. Apparently around winter time, when they're about to loose their antlers, the blood supply is cut off and the "wool" on their antlers (which is called velvet, as I learned today) begins to fall off. They will assist the shedding by rubbing the antlers against trees, I guess that's the reason why it looks so gruesome? When the nights become longer in the winter time, the bull produces more testosterone which makes them more muscular and aggressive and finally makes their antlers fall off. No wonder they were so pissed!
