Pretty sure that this one hasn't been posted on CCF previously. It came from the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin. Kinda cool to have a deer skeleton on it!

Nice token Spence
Just pulled this off Dr Google "The Irish elk stood about 2.1 m (6 ft 11 in) tall at the shoulders and carried the largest antlers of any known deer, a maximum of 3.65 m (12.0 ft) from tip to tip and 40 kg (88 lb) in weight. For body size, at about 450-600 kg (990-1,300 lb) and up to 700 kg (1,500 lb) or more."... that's a big deer.

Interesting enough as it is.

In this particular case,
if the subject material had been fleshed out a lot more,
it would somehow be less interesting.

Yes these deer were gimungous. Almost mind-boggling so.
