Whats the difference between an antler and a horn?

0

An antler is made up of solid bone; it is shaped like a branch and is shed yearly. Moose, caribou, and deer are some animals with antlers. A horn is hollow, made up of a hard skin tissue similar to a fingernail. A horn has no branches and is permanent. Some horned animals are antelope, buffalo, and goats. Rhinoceros horns are not true horns at all, but are made of solidified hair!
