Velvet

Wow.  Now this is a close up!  You can even see why they call the membrane covering an elk's horns during growth "velvet."

Come rutting season, the elk scrape that velvet off on tree trunks.  It's like taking a sword out of a sheath:  he's getting ready for battle!

What's that in the top right corner?  More horns?

 Yuppers!

Adios, amigo.
