Why do elk antlers bleed? It's actually a harmless process

Denver (KDVR) – In late summer, the first male and other animals show a terrible blood scene on their horns. Although it may seem painful and somewhat painful, it is completely not completely harmful and natural.

This process is known as the elders that fall the velvet on their horns, which begins after the age of the first male is about a year, then it occurs annually in August, according to National Park Service.

The garden service said that this and painful process begins when centuries grow on the elders of the bull, which is Protected by soft velvet coverage. Once the entire centuries are developed, Al -Ayes will remove them by rubbing them against objects such as trees and brush.

Bridgeurk, a state -level general information official at Colorado Parks and the wildlife, said he is usually bleeding for a day or two and then heals. While this is a natural and painless process, it may seem to some extent.

This is what it seems:

The garden service said that the operation begins in March when the hormonal transformation leads to bulls. New pods grow and velvet.

“When centuries grow, they are covered in a layer of soft and spoken tissues called velvet. The velvet contains many blood vessels that provide oxygen and increased centuries.”

By August, the Park service said that the change in hormones stops growth, and discovers the bulls from the velvet. This increases the sharpening of the pods, and prepares them for the mating season, or al -Ay’i al -Ayal, in mid -September to mid -October.

During Al -Awael’s riches, Park recommends the “thumb base”, where if you cancel your thumb and still still see the apostles, you are very close. This is an active season for the people, and it may be dangerous to approach.
