yup someone in October 2025 in the span of 2nd to 30th rotated it 180 degrees and added that

Horns grow over a bony core and are made up of keratin, the same stuff hair and fingernails are made of, and are present in all bovids (ex: cattle, antelope, sheep, goats, etc.) They're permanent fixtures, so if they get injured or broken off, it takes a long time for them to regrow.

Antlers are made of bone and are regrown annually by all deer species except water deer. The antlers start out as highly vascular bone tissue covered in thin skin, or velvet, which peels off to leave behind dead bone. They'll drop off every year, meaning injuries or broken tines don't matter much -- however, they take an incredible amount of nutrients to grow. They're also heavier than horns.
