A new viewpoint on antlers reveals the evolutionary history of deer (Cervidae, Mammalia)

fullview recommended!

something i've wanted to do for a while now. i've scoured the internet for something like this and can't find anything that compares all the different types of antlers together. except one recent study on their evolution, which is also very interesting on its own! i simplified it to provide a visual reference, while still trying to be scientifically accurate. some things differ between this and trophy scoring terminology like where the beam is and whatnot, so if something looks weird that's why.

small additional note, this study and others provide a lot of evidence that eld's deer should be in their own genus as it doesn't appear similar enough to barasingha and schomburgk's deer. however this doesn't seem to be adapted anywhere yet, so they're still in Rucervus for this guide.

The Moon Will Sing

“The moon will sing a song for me.// I loved you like the sun.”

-The Moon Will Sing, The Crane Wives

[ID: Two black and white digital pencil illustrations. The left shows an elk, eyes closed as it leaps through the air. Its antlers are stylized and huge, and they encase a moon. Lyrics under the stag read: "the moon will sing a song for me". On the right is a Fallow deer, in a similar position to the elk. Its antlers curve around a sun, and lyrics next to it read, "i loved you like the sun". End ID]

A/N: i literally cannot stop drawing stags. Elk on the left Fallow deer on the right bc you guys know I love them <3 i was thinking about posting these independently but i decided the crane wives were too good ♥︎ i promise i will draw something else soon also !! i updated my intro post bc i realized i never added pronouns LOL my bad guys

Reminder to myself and everyone that reindeer/other cervid hooves are not fully connected like horse hooves, but segmented toes with two dew claws in the back. Reindeer hooves will have more surface area touching the ground as well to act as snowshoes.

this show would've been a masterpiece if they let them have normal length seasons
