Ouch! That hurts! by

A reindeer ( caribou) scraping the velvet from its antlers – it was going a bit demented – and ooh, the blood shows!! I think they itch when the velvet needs to be removed. Poor thing.

    Wow, that’s a great capture rubbing it’s antlers on the limb with fresh blood too. Great capture, Liz.

  • I hadn’t seen it so close before!! Not into blood.!! Thank you as ever BigD.

  • I thought so too Mekea but it wasn’t groaning just madly rubbing it against the branch. Thank you. Liz

    Love this one, too! You do get around the world.

  • Yes, losing their skin on the antlers looks so painful!! Thank you so much for all your comments and for looking at so many.
