Extinct deer and elk species from the past
« on: January 06, 2025, 02:58:02 PM »
How many of you are familiar with all the different extinct antlered cloven hooved animals of the past? Some of them I never heard of until I started looking. Irish elk being the most commonly known.

Awesome post! That Thailand species looks like a mix of elk/mule deer based on the front of the rack and then the rear section forked out.

Crazy thing is the Thailand species of Schomburgks deer is thought to possibly still be alive. Deep in the backwoods a scientist was in a market and came across a fairly fresh set of antlers from one. They should get DNA from it and revive it!

With so many different past deer species it also make me think of the predators that went extinct as well. I wonder if there was a super cougar (not to be confused with anything else  :chuckle:) or something like that.
