Sika hermaphrodite???

Went out for a hunt this morning where 2 weeks ago I'D fired at a stag with unusual antlers, unusual in that it looked like a perruqe head( malformed), I was hunting sika incidentally, but the antlers looked like they were still in velvet. Anyway I took the shot, he moved and the bullet cleanly knocked his right antler off at the coronet. Lo and behold here he was this morning with a few hinds and near a wallow. Took the shot at 236 yards and he went down with a clean neck shot(thank God). Went to gralloch what I assumed was stag but what I now believe to be a HERMAPHRODITE. There was no genetilia present, he/ she had an udder or teats. Definitely no vagina so Im puzzeled as to how the deer urinated.???? It has antlers and upon inspection has the features of a sika hind in the face. Ive made inquiries and its apparently a cross with both organs. Incidentally the testicles were inside the cavity but withered. And Ive broken no laws as Ive checked with the npws. It was a deer with antlers. But highly unusual

Very strange. I'm sure NPWS will be keen to document it.

So i am not mad.40 years ago my dad shot a hind that had no genitals also. All it had was an rectum. I remember it hanging up on the swing in the back garden , while everybody inspected it. I wonder is it from inbreeding as all the sika in wicklow come from a few animals
