This specimen possesses asymmetric brow tines, one of which is palmate. This flattened tine is commonly referred to as a "shovel," and is a typical feature of reindeer. It is not found in other cervids. The nose of red deer is also bare and leathery (like that of a cow), while the nose of reindeer is covered with hair, as is the case with this specimen. There appears to be a small patch of damage where the hair has been rubbed off. taxidermy, stuffed animal, deer, ten pointer, antlers, caribou, reindeer, rangifer tarandus
