Especially as their size, they were a lot of meat, while their bones had been very useful for the various tools of the time. Because of this docile hand, these animals were the main targets of prehistoric man. Fighting between the males were mostly by intimidation. The megaceros were not animals that attack. Indeed, paleontology research has revealed that megaceros had the same behavior that deer: rut, fighting between males, or annual wood loss. The megaloceros was the biggest in the deer family, its horns grew up to 12 feet long. Their appearance would have been closer to that of a deer suede, while their lives would have been exactly that of a current deer. Its antlers were possibly used for fighting other male megaloceros during mating season. According to the preserved bones, the megaceros had a highly developed dorsal hump.

These giant eland existed in Asia, Europe and even in China. Compared to the current timber elk, wood of these animals are gigantic and 3.70 meters wide. It is a superb section of antler from the Irish Elk or Megaloceros Giganteus. According to paleontological studies, it would be part of the Deer, measuring over 2 m and weighing 700 kg. Note: You need to hand Trude the Megaloceros Antlers one by one, not in stacks. BTW, Faraheim Stags and Does can be found SW of Dellingstad (on the road to Hagall where the border of Delling Crater meets Faraheim). Although we might think that this is an imaginary animal given its huge size, it is indeed an animal that has existed, but died 10.000 years ago, the same period as the mammoths. Megaloceros can be found on the border of Gripklosa Mountains and Delling Crater.
