Kinda cool to have a deer skeleton on it!

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2514 Posts	Posted 09/18/2022 02:13 am 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. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
