I’m not sure how many times I have…
…viewed these images with a clear focus
on husky puppies, and not seen
the buckets of flowers.
Better late than never, I guess…

Horns from all over.
hereford cattle have horns. However, PollHerefords do not have horns.
Similarly Poll Dorset sheep, in this case a ram,
do not have horns.
In both cattle and sheep horns have
been breed off the original livestock to
facilitate better animal husbandry practices.
Riverboat horn.
Trumpets…also called horn.
Do Giraffes have horns?
Google states that a best guess is that
giraffe’s “horns” were originally
support structures for their antlers.
…for their antlers.
Sockets that supported
the large racks which deer find so handy
during mating season in their tests
of strength and dominance.

Finally, a highly sort after horn, by some cultures.
Made of similar material which forms our fingernails,
it’s hard to see why rhino horn is valued.
