Two Caribou with locked antlers
On occasion, two caribou stags when fighting become so interlocked they are unable to seperate - consequently both animals perish. This is one such example of this unlucky fate, both combatants stuffed and mounted and used as a promotional card for Ayre & Sons, a company still in business to this day. Date: circa 1910s

EDITORS COMMENTS
In the vast and untamed wilderness of Labrador, Canada, the natural world plays out its intricate dance of survival. This photograph captures an unusual and unfortunate event in the lives of two majestic caribou stags. As they locked horns in the heat of battle, their antlers became intertwined, creating an inescapable bond. The struggle continued, but to no avail, as both animals were unable to break free from each other's grasp. The date on this photograph is estimated to be from the 1910s, a time when the rugged terrain of Newfoundland and Labrador was still largely unexplored by man. The two caribou, now deceased, were likely discovered by hunters or trappers in their entangled state. With heavy hearts, they were carefully preserved and mounted, a testament to the raw power and unyielding determination of nature. The sight of these two magnificent creatures, their antlers locked in an eternal embrace, is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of life in the wild. Their tragic fate serves as a reminder of the delicate balance that exists in nature, where strength and weakness, life and death, are inexorably intertwined. As you gaze upon this intriguing image, you can almost hear the haunting call of the wilderness that surrounds these two noble beasts. Their story, frozen in time, is a reminder of the beauty and brutality that can be found in the most unexpected places.
