A horn is a permanent pointed projection on the head of various animals that consists of a covering of keratin and other proteins surrounding a core of live bone. Horns are distinct from antlers, which are not permanent. Horns usually have a curved or spiral shape, often with ridges or fluting. In many species, only males have horns.
Partial or deformed horns in livestock are called scurs. Giraffidae: Giraffes have one or more pairs of bony bumps on their heads, called ossicones. These are covered with furred skin. Cervidae: Most deer have antlers, which are not true horns and made of bone. Rhinocerotidae: The “horns” of rhinoceroses are made of keratin, the same substance as fingernails, and grow continuously, but do not have a bone core. Chamaeleonidae: Many chameleons, most notably the Jackson’s chameleon, possess horns on their skulls, and have a keratin covering.
