Reply to comment by Derpman2099 in PsBattle: Caribou's antlers shedding velvet by HerbziKal

Antlers don't grow like horns or finger nails, from the base outward.

They grow like trees, sealed in a thin layer of flesh that adds material to the outer layers of the antler until they reach their full size.

Then the outer layer of flesh falls off.

Then later the whole antler falls off and the cycle starts over.
