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.

UPDATE: i am on hiatus from my socials right now. i still lurk a bit but i can't handle talking/posting online or in fandoms again until i get over everything that happened in my life and online. i have trust issues because of some of my experiences online (abusive and/or predatory people taking advantage of me being naive, along with people not respecting my boundaries when i ask them not to bring up triggering or NSFW subjects while talking to me, etc)
just to clear things up NONE OF MY FRIENDS/MUTUALS ARE INVOLVED IN ANYTHING BAD THAT HAPPENED, i'm not trying to vague post about anyone in particular, im only referring to specific incidents that lead up to me needing to detox from the internet (the people involved probably don't even know i have tumblr so they won't see this)
if you need to reach me for whatever reason i will check discord sometimes but please don't talk to me unless you need something, i cant handle people right now. thank you to everyone who has been kind to me and patient, it means a lot.
Annual Rudolph the red nosed reindeer art bc its almost Christmas, guys! Woohoo!
bro what if u believed ur friend was dead cuz u just watched him throw himself off a cliff but then later he comes back completely fine and cracking jokes and you cant even bring urself to feel upset because ur just glad that he's okay. what then.
Itβs awesome seeing other reindeerkin/therians!
Weβre all so festive yet chill! Itβs great!

welcome to my blog!! i definitely agree, we are the best deer out there :P
the bunny council demands that you give money to trans people
no no this is actually really good advice, dw! thank you so much for the suggestion, i didn't consider editing before but im actually pretty good at it so that sounds feasible! i'll have to look into review writing as well, anything involving writing would work great for low energy days.
to clear some things up, i'm not physically disabled or physically unable to work, i'm psychologically impaired right now and thus unemployed/not attending college yet. hopefully SSI will approve me since they did my evaluation recently. also just today i FINALLY got my dad to agree to $100 a week for groceries so now i may be in the clear for a few months, yay! it's still a good idea for me to build up some personal savings before i go to school this fall, and i can make a certain amount of money per month without losing SSI so i really appreciate the tips!
does anyone know how to genuinely make at least $100 a month while unable to work that doesn't involve art commissions/those scammy rewards apps/etc? i'm still waiting on SSI to either approve or deny me a second time and my dad basically told me to eat quarters so uh π€ͺ i'm looking for any way to buy groceries for myself. my mom suggested the food pantry but that doesn't sit right with me because i have college savings i choose not to dip into opposed to being in desperate need (im not using them because it's all my mom and i have left for emergencies).
before anyone asks we got denied for food stamps (apparently my mom's disability payments are $100 over the income limit? wow US government ur really rooting out the fraudsters here /s)
any tips would be so so appreciated!! thank you for reading and goodbye for now π¦
daily reminder NOT to approach elk or let them approach you, especially during the rut. ohmy god random guys with hats pls stop doing this π
