Listen fellas. If you are gonna mindlessly scroll through social media, at the very least, put a wildlife cam on in the background. Go to explore.org. Pick your favorite. Give yourself some enrichment. Give yourself some variety. Just today there was a moray eel in Utopia Village reef. I turned off my phone immediately to watch it swim around. Highlight of my day.

If you need some wildlife to watch might I suggest the Gettysburg, PA Bird Feeder livestream? You'll see all kinds of birds (doves, cardinals, blackbirds, woodpeckers, finches, even turkeys!), and sometimes squirrels and deer! This is truly one of my favorite wildlife cams and I just wanted to share it!
For today's pride month post, let's talk about white tailed deer!
Now these guys actually surprised me, did you know up to 15% of white tailed deer are intersex? There are deer that are born with both sex organs, females that grow antlers, and even what's known as Velvethorns.
A normal buck will shed it's velvet from late August to early September, but velvet horns never she'd their velvet. As a buck's testosterone level rises as they get ready for mating season their antler's harden and their velvet is shed.
So why doesn't this happen to velvet horns?
Depending on the reason, be it birth defect, or some sort of truama to the testicles, these guys just never get that testosterone boost. It also leads to them having an appearance more similar to a doe than a buck.
They tend to shy away from male or female groups, instead forming herds with other velvet horns, they've even been known to adopt orphaned fawns!
Even the hunting community knows about these deer, some states actually having them tag the deer as "antlered" or "antlerless" to avoid any confusion!
