Why do deer rub there atlers on trees?
Deer grow a new set of antlers each year. The new antlers are covered in a kind of velvet. Because of fighting and searching for food the velvet becomes rather tatty, often hanging down in strips. This can reduce the animals vision, which is highly important to such an animal. So it rids itself of the offending velvet by rubbing its antlers against trees. The bare antlers are used especially in the "rutting" season (the mating season) when the strongest deer, usually with the largest and perfectly shaped antlers, will be able to assemble his own herd of females. Later in the year the antlers are "cast" off, but the material of which they are made is not wasted because the deer will gnaw away at the antlers to take in the stuff needed for antlers to grow once more.
