EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a mesmerizing duo of Fallow deer stags in Israel. The image captures these majestic creatures during the enchanting month of October, as they roam freely in their natural habitat. These young stags still possess the remarkable vascular layer of velvet that covers their antlers. This velvety layer plays a crucial role by supplying oxygen and vital nutrients to support the continuous growth of the bone structure. The photograph beautifully portrays the harmonious coexistence between nature and wildlife in the Israeli countryside. With an intense gaze fixed on something unseen, these wild animals exhibit a sense of curiosity and alertness that is characteristic of their species. Fascinatingly, this snapshot offers insight into the intricate biology and development process of fallow deer stags. As they mature, these antlers will eventually shed their velvet covering, signifying the completion of growth while also marking the end for this once-vibrant tissue. Science enthusiasts and animal lovers alike will be captivated by this stunning portrayal of middle eastern fauna. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modern civilization, there are pockets where nature thrives undisturbed – offering us glimpses into its awe-inspiring wonders like this pair of graceful bucks roaming freely in Israel's wilderness.
