The red deer is Scotland’s largest deer. Males (stags) have large, branching antlers that increase in size as they get older. These impressive antlers can measure up to one metre across and weigh as much as 15 kilograms. During the breeding season, males use their antlers when battling each other.

2) How many acute angles can you see?
3) How many obtuse angles can you see?
