What does ANTLER mean in Scrabble?
noun
One of the branched, bony growths on the head of a deer, moose, or elk, most often carried by the males of the species.
Unlike the permanent horn of cattle or sheep, an antler is made of solid bone and is shed and regrown every year, usually growing larger with each cycle. While it develops, an antler is covered in a soft, blood-rich skin called velvet, which the animal later rubs off once the bone hardens. Bull elk and stags use their antlers mainly to spar with rivals during the mating season and to signal size and strength rather than for everyday defense.
