A photographer once took a famous photo: the head of another stag is hung on the horns of a stag. Under such circumstances, the living stag still eats and lives normally every day, which is really impressive. Very timid.

Deer are not common in our lives, but we have seen them more or less in film and television works. People generally regard deer as a symbol of auspiciousness: in China, deer can bring wealth to human beings. The auspicious animal; and in foreign countries, the deer is Santa Claus’s cart mount.
However, deer in real life are not so good-tempered, especially stags in estrus. They generally have huge horns. If you use such horns to attack the enemy with all your strength, you can easily cause huge damage. kill.
