A "true" horn is a cutical grown around a bone (and thus is hollow to varying degrees), while fused hair such, as giraffe and rhino horn, does not have an underlying bone.
While we are at it, antlers are boney growths with an abscission line along which they separate from the skull, and are shed and re-grown seasonally. |
