io8 THE WORLD OF ANIMAL LIFE 



Many of these animals, like the kudu, bear a close resemblance 

 to deer, with which they are frequently confounded. They can 

 always be distinguished, however, by the character of their horns.

These appendages, in a deer, are solid, and are renewed year by 

 year, being generally thrown off in the winter, and beginning to 

 grow again a week or two later. The horns of an antelope, how- 

 ever, are hollow, and are set upon a bony core, like those of the 

 oxen, while they are not annually discarded, but are retained 

 throughout the life of the animal.
