An adult male elk, or bull, begins to grow antlers in spring. Each antler grows from a point in the skull called a pedicle. Antlers emerge as cartilage, with bone replacing the cartilage from the pedicle up as the antler grows. As antlers grow, they are covered with a layer of furry skin called velvet.
