The article explains that the antlers have several functions and it's so important. However, the professor says that the information that the article gave is not correct, and refutes each of the Author's reasons.

According to the professor, if the antlers used for heat dissipation it wouldn't grow in winter. Also, the antlers in hot climate animals are smaller than the the ones in animals who live in a cold climate, which disprove what the reading claims.

Second, the article asserts that antlers are used as a defense against predators. The professor refutes this point by saying that if the antlers used for defense, the female should have it too. He adds that no female has antlers only in few species of deer. Also, these animals defending themselves by using their feet to kick or run away from predators.

Third, the reading posits that antlers used to display strength and fertility to the female members and to compete with male ones. However, the professor opposes this point by telling us that there is no evidence that proven that antlers size is the main comparing among animals, and in this situation there would be no small animal able to breed and make family, and this is not true.
