In Africa, the primary animals that shed antlers are members of the deer family, specifically the bushbuck and the waterbuck. Unlike most African ungulates that possess horns, which are permanent structures, these species grow and shed antlers annually. Antler shedding typically occurs after the breeding season, allowing for regrowth in preparation for the next mating cycle. Other African animals, such as antelopes, possess horns that do not shed.
