Having horns or horn-like structures that are shed or fall off periodically, like deer antlers.
From Latin caducus (falling) + cornu (horn). This technical term describes the property of horns that are naturally deciduous rather than permanent.
Most animals with caducicorn structures are males—deer bucks shed their antlers every year to grow bigger ones, which is an evolutionary strategy to prepare for battles during mating season.
