Footage Shows Reindeer Shedding Velvet From Its Antlers Using A Fallen Tree

Title Footage Shows Reindeer Shedding Velvet From Its Antlers Using A Fallen Tree
Summary A reindeer was captured shedding velvet from its antlers, using a fallen tree in this natural phenomenon. The footage was taken by George Aguiar on August 29th in Fairbanks, Alaska. The female reindeer, named Puma, can be seen shedding the velvet off her antlers using a cut-down tree. George says, “It is important for them to have plenty of opportunity to shed the velvet, as by this time of the year the antlers are calcified and no longer require the velvet for growth.” George often cuts down trees on his farm, Archipelago Farms, at this specific time to assist the reindeer in the task of removing the velvet from their antlers.
