정규 교재 133p Antlers: Functions.
The reading passage contends that the function of antlers can be fully explained with three theories. On the other hand, the lecturer brings several points that contradict this argument.
First, the speaker argues that antlers do not help male deer to attract a mate. This is because they lure their potential mates other ways such as vocalization and body postures. In addition, it is wrong to say that female deer select males with large-antlers. Rather, female deers tend to choose smaller antlers. (State the reason why) Thus, antlers are not important way to entice their mates. This casts doubt on the reading passage's claim that antlers serves as the method for male deer to draw female's attention.
Second, according to the speaker, it is unproven that deers use their antler for showing power and marking in order to claim their control over the territory. They would use strong scent since it is more likely to be detective. (To whom/which?) Furthermore, if antlers carve their priority certain tree, (Unclear meaning) this would not well function well as an indication because trees' surface is too soft to avoid peeling off. This refutes the reading passage's assertion that deer utilize their antlers to specify their rights on the territory.
The final point made by the lecture is that it is not necessary for necessarily that deers to take advantage of antlers when they protect themselves from predators. Actually, it is more likely that they have to defend their young children from their enemies. (Story is not connected)This counters the reading passage's argument that antlers function as shields
