Contender for the Toughest Buck Award…..
This deer had some very uncomfortable days until he was harvested by this hunter. It is obvious that there was a fight during the rut and this deer ended up with an extra antler (embedded below the eye). You can see that the antler from the attacking deer was broke off below the base of the antler as there is still blood on the pedicel. That takes a tremendous amount of pressure. Pretty amazing.

These pictures are making their way around the inter-tubes recently. Pretty cool pics of three bucks in Ohio that antler locked and ended up drowning.
See more pics of at Field & Stream
Everyone finds this so amazing when in reality triple lockups happen quite often. See this post.
Also, whitetail bucks locking up and then drowning is not so rare either. Check this out.

Interesting look at what happens to an elephant carcass after death. This video shows a number of scavengers partake in a little snacking after the elephant dies. Sometimes DAYS after the elephant dies. Not for the faint-of-heart.
Check out this harrowing encounter with a couple of moose on a bike path.
Check out these cool photos of a black whitetail fawn. Supposedly in Beamsville. Ontario, perhaps? Very cool pics.
This is another example of melanism. Melanism is the opposite of albinism. Where albinism is a condition where the animals has less than normal pigmentation, melanism is an condition where the animal has more than normal pigmentation or melanin.
Check out this post of a full grown black whitetail buck.
Here are some posts of some beautiful albino animals including twin deer.
