deer i forgot to post here

It’s a balmy 60-something degrees outside today, but it’s still wintertime and there’s snow in the forecast for Tuesday so it’s appropriate to post a snow-clad reindeer, right? Some of you must be getting wintery weather somewhere out there…

(this was a custom request from last year’s Kickstarter – a Svalbard reindeer!)

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.
