no the horns do not fall off the animals< dehorning though a rare practice amongst the breeders in the region is the only reason for th absence of horns on sum of the animals of this breed
Pronghorns do not shed their horns, as their horns are permanent and composed of a bony core with a keratin sheath. Over time, pronghorns' horns may break or wear down through activities like fighting or rubbing against objects, but they will not shed like the antlers of deer.
Not to most people, but it could fall under cruelty depending on how you are teasing it.
its mainly a response to the need for food and water.
I believe 'tush' is a Yiddish (Eastern European Jewish) word for ' rear end', 'bottom', etc.
An animal is most likely to grow longer hair during colder seasons or in colder climates to help insulate and keep them warm. This is a common adaptation for many mammals to survive in harsh weather conditions.
No if horns fall out they never grow back, antlers fall out and grow yearly.
the difference is that antlers will fall off, where as horns won't
No not usually
Actually technically its not horns they have antlers. Horns never fall off of an animal, whereas antlers do. Deer antlers fall off and regrow every year. You want to shoot a deer with lots of points (antler size) because this means that it is an older deer, more mature than the others, as well as it is likely to be bigger bodied. So this is good for those who want to eat the deer. Which most hunters do.
No they do not shed there horns but if hit or damaged they will fall off and grow back

"during the spring they grow they're horns. in the summer they have a leathery material called velvet. in the fall they fight for the mate. in the winter their horns fall off. SWEET! and then u can go and collect the deer antlers.! WHAT A SWEET TREAT!" -ORIGINAL ANSWER TRUE ANSWER: Deer antlers and bovid horns (cows are bovids) are produced in very different ways. Unlike antlers, horns are never branched, but they do vary from species to species in shape and size. Horns are composed of a bony core covered with a sheath of keratin. Neither the sheath nor the core are ever shed, and in many species, the horns never stop growing. Horn cores begin as small bony growths under the skin, over the skull, in the subcutaneous connective tissue. They are not attached to the skull and are known as ossicones. They possess their own centers of ossification and fuse secondarily to the skull bones. In members of the family Bovidae (which cows belong to), horns develop from or over the frontals.
The term antler is most often used to refer to the horns of members of the deer family Cervidae.This is a bit of a stretch, but I am going to guess that the term is an abbreviation of "ante-occular" meaning "behind the eyes", since this is where the horns of these animals originate as opposed to (more or less) "beside the eyes" as is the case with the bovines, Bovidae.Also, the deer family have solid horns, whereas the bovines have hollow horns. Perhaps the different names are simply meant to distinguish one type of horn from the other.
Gravity? LOL
A butterfly is actually considered an insect, but I guess insects fall into the animal species. You can argue with that if you want.
