The word sarcophagus comes from the Greek ÏÎ¬ÏÎ¾ sarx meaning flesh, and ÏÎ±Î³Îµá¿Î½ phagein meaning to eat, hence sarcophagus means flesh-eating; from the phrase lithos sarkophagos (Î»Î¯Î¸Î¿Ï ÏÎ±ÏÎºÎ¿ÏÎ¬Î³Î¿Ï).
Deer (singular and plural) are the ruminant mammals forming the family Cervidae. The two main groups are the Cervinae, including the muntjac, the fallow deer and the chital, and the Capreolinae, including the elk, reindeer (caribou), the Western roe deer, and the Eurasian elk (moose). Female reindeer, and male deer of all species (except the Chinese water deer), grow and shed new antlers each year.
1 Like deer and moose, elk are ruminants. 2  They initially chew their food just enough to swallow it. 3  This food is stored in a stomach called the ârumen.â From there, the food is regurgitated, then re-chewed before being swallowed again, entering a second stomach where digestion begins.ike other members of the deer family, the antlers of bull elk grow during spring and summer beneath a hairy skin covering known as velvet. In late summer the velvet dries and falls off to reveal the bonelike structure of the fully-grown antlers.
