Abstract
Even if warm-blooded animals could regenerate amputated legs, they would not be able to do so soon enough to avert starvation or capture. But this disadvantage for crippled mammals does not apply to appendages that are not vitally essential. Certain structures, such as deer antlers and the ears of rabbits, bats, and cats, are exceptions to the rule that mammals are not supposed to regenerate. How these structures do so may tell us why others do not.
