Yeah, it's a deer, with an apparent genetic flaw. but is it really? What evolutionary advantage could having a single horn(in the center of the skull no less) provide? If not, then is pollution or inbreeding the cause? |

Couldn't it be used as a ramming weapon? If women liked the look of a horn for whatever reasons and selected mates because of it, you'd have a horn. |

Omg, that is kewl! I hope it's a variation that gets passed on to its offspring. I've seen cows and goats with one horn, but they were surgically altered by having the horn buds moved to the center of the head, where they grew together into a single horn. |
