True conversation at the barista stand

Picture a man with graying hair approaching the barista stand one evening last week, when I wasn't too busy.

Man: What kind of deer are those out there?
Me: Those are elk.
Man: But what are those little horns?
Me (thinking): ????, probably with a blank look on my face
Me: Let me go look. (looks out the front doors of the hotel - barista stand is in the lobby, near to my front desk friends)
Me: Those are female elk. Oh - Those are their ears.
