    Are these horns normal?

    I've seen a few other threads about this, and the scientists say that quite a few (I think one of them said around 25%) of the female Thomson's Gazelle have deformed horns. They don't really use them for anything, so I guess there isn't really any selective pressure to weed out the defective genes.
