Velvet, a soft tissue with many blood vessels, covers growing deer antlers. After growth, the velvet dries, and bucks rub their antlers against trees to remove them. This signals the approaching rut, when hardened antlers are used for fights and displays. 📹 archipelagofarms

The horned viper, moves uniquely by ‘sidewinding’. It throws loops of its body obliquely across the ground, creating J-shaped impressions in the sand. This method allows it to move efficiently over slippery surfaces like sand, minimising contact with the hot ground. 📹 bush_cow
