Hendrix's rifle Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Nice any ideas why they have tusks? Genuine question as I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Nice any ideas why they have tusks? Genuine question as I don't know Evolution, or perhaps I should say the lack of it. Scientific evidence suggests that all deer once had tusks and antlers but as evolution evolved, the larger species developed more prominent antlers and their tusks disappeared. Thus leaving only the small species with tusks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had a few munty that have some sort of tusks all be it smaller than cwd but still visible, I just thought they were sabre tooth deer lol Edited January 24, 2017 by colin lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
