Unlike horns, which like finger nails grow from the base, antlers are basically bones.

Bone that falls off after the mating season and regrows the next spring

It always weirds me out that antlers just fall off. Like, bone isn't supposed to do that for us. What if we randomly shed bones every year?

we do shed teeth tho, it's not that different.
