According to Science Magazine, a recent report states that in order to grow bigger antlers, elk risk life and limb.
《科学杂志》最近的一份报道称，为了长出更大的鹿角，麋鹿要冒着生命和断肢的风险。
Elk regrow their antlers every year, and the longer they have to do this, the bigger and better their chances are for the fall mating season.
麋鹿每年都会重新长出鹿角，它们做这件事情的时间越长，秋天的交配季节到来时长出的鹿角就可能越大、越好。
However, in order to do this, they have to shed their previous headgear early in the season, which puts them at risk of being killed by wolves.
然而，要做到这一点，它们必须尽早摆脱掉之前的鹿角，这使其面临着被狼杀死的风险。
