Rare Sighting: Deer Shed Its Antlers In The Middle Of The Night, Thinking No One Was Watching

You knew snake sheds its skin but did you know that deer sheds its antlers? Most people might not know that because as snakes are about shedding their skins publicly, deer are as private. Deer shed their antlers once a year. It can take up to a couple of days for the antler to actually come off and new antlers regenerate through the summer.

 
 

They are known to shed their antlers places far from human habitation. However, a night-camera managed to catch the rare happening and now the video is going viral. 
 
The video starts with the eight-point buck is seen scratching its head with one of its hind legs. However, within seconds, it furiously shakes its head, discards its sharp antler and hastily sprints away. The video was captured by Ann Sivori in Northfield, Vermont and shared on the 
 
Facebook page of Vermont Fish & Wildlife. It was captured by Ann Sivori in Northfield, Vermont.
 
Sivori explained that she is no hunter and that no traps were used. The footage shows the animal to be gorging on apples that were on the ground. 
 
Comments of awe poured in. One user commented, ‘I have never seen that before. I have deer around my house all the time but I have never seen any antlers on the ground.’ Another wrote, ‘Awesome thing to catch on a game camera! His reaction is just hysterical!’ 
 
 
While a third one voiced what many might have been thinking, ‘I didn't realize that they shed them. You definitely learn something every day’.
