What the long-horned doe tells us is that each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

The Horned Deer Mother is the Virgin in Kyrgyz mythology. According to legend, a nomadic people in the Far East were attacked by enemies, and in the end only a man, woman and child were captured alive. An old woman with a pockmarked face and a lame leg was ordered to take the two children to the high bank of the Yenisei River and eradicate the weeds. At this time, a big-horned doe ran up and begged the old woman to let the child go and let him raise it.

Although the old woman warned the deer mother: "These are human children, they will kill your children in the future." The deer mother did not take it seriously and took the two children away. After escaping death, they finally came to the beautiful and rich Lake Issyk-Kul, where the two children grew up. The descendants are multiplied, and this is the Kyrgyz nation - the former unlucky nation.

From then on, the descendants of the Bugi people and the descendants of the deer mother lived in harmony and friendship on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul. But later, the prophecy of the pockmarked old woman came true, and the Bugi people began to massacre the offspring of the deer mother. The deer mother had to stay away from Issyk-Kul Lake, and there was no trace of deer here again.

This story tells us a truth: if there is no inheritance of civilization, the selfishness, greed and violence in human nature will eventually be revealed. When we are in the world, we should know how to be grateful and continue and pass on this gratitude. , let future generations never forget it!

Deer growth and reproduction

Antlers are the second characteristic of male deer (only reindeer Rangifer tarandus has antlers for both males and females). They are also weapons for mate fighting. Their growth and shedding are affected by the brain. Effects of Pituitary Gland and Testosterone. After the breeding season of deer in the north, the horns fall off from the burrs on the lower part. In the second year, they grow from the burrs on the pair of stalks above the frontal bones. The newly grown horns are called velvet and are covered with skin. It is hairy, has blood vessels supplying a large amount of blood, and is branched.

As the horn grows, the blood supply gradually decreases, and the skin dries up and falls off. The initial horns born between the ages of 1 and 2 are almost straight, and the branches of the posterior horns increase year by year, and become finalized in adulthood. Antlered female deer have no antlers and do not have fang-like upper canine teeth. Male deer are larger than female deer. The coat color is darker in winter and lighter in summer. Most young deer have white spots, and some species (such as sika deer Cervus nippon and dolphin deer Axis porcinus) also have spots on adults.
