a lot of WT will have 2 very long hairs going out of the bottom of the jaw , there got to be a purpose for them , any ideas what it might be
im not really sure, but i would guess that they’re for feeling. Probably used to perceive the space around the chin, so the deer doesnt take a branch in the kisser, or maybe even to help with browsing. They also have the clusters of whiskers above the eyes that serve a similar purpose of protection… i believe. Maybe someone with a more refined understanding could chime in.
i made the statement the other day it might help them move around at night the person acted like i was crazy , hopeing someone has something to ADD
They are like whiskers on a cat fish. a WT has several feeler hairs a few under its chin a couple on each side of their head, at the rear of the lower jaw, and a bunch of shorter ones on its chin. They help them move arround in the dark and to feed at night…..DC
