I know that female giraffes (considering the ossicones as “horns”) and pronghorns have “horns” (yeah, I’m using the term verrry loosely), but any others? Do the females of any antlered or (true) horned mammals typically have horns? I said “typically,” because I suppose that you do have occasional mutations in which a normally non-horned/antlered female grows a set.
Female caribou have antlers.
Horns are not uncommon in females throughout the Bovidae, especially among the larger species. It might be just as easy to list those species in which the females do not bear horns…
Yep, it’s really only the cervids where the females typically lack horns. Look at failry much any ox, antelope, sheep etc and the females will have horns of some description. Maybe not as impressive as the males but nontheless still plain to see and quite functional.
