Original Note:
During autumn moose shed their antlers after mating season. Decreased daylight and lower testosterone levels weaken the antlers' base, causing them to fall off. This is beneficial as antlers can become entangled in obstacles like trees, fences, especially near human areas. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/moose-antlers-horns-shedding-deer https://a-z-animals.com/blog/discover-the-reasons-why-moose-shed-their-antlers/
