Horns and antlers are extensions of an animal's skull and are typically found on males, with a few exceptions. While horns and antlers may appear similar, there are notable distinctions between animals possessing antlers and those possessing horns. Antlers, primarily made of bone, are paired and branched structures that are annually shed. On the other hand, horns consist of a bony core and are covered by a keratin sheath, usually unbranched and in two parts. Regardless, this exceptional headgear adds to the magnificence of some of the most beautiful creatures in the animal kingdom.
