Butting Heads and Locking Antlers
language
( Nov. 9, 2015)
Many human idioms refer to animal behaviors. Butting heads and locking antlers refer to sheep, deer, elk, and bovines, etc. who challenge one another with their powerful heads. Locking horns is an expression that means angrily asserting oneself and unwillingness to compromise. Sometimes, these animals battle to the death or stay entangled until they die.
In this fictional story based on actual events, two elk, imbued in sibling rivalry, compete and lock their antlers. Fortunately, they get a second chance at life and realize they need to change their ways. Similarly, humans can choose to set their differences aside and get along and appreciate one another’s talents.
