Libralces

Wikipedia Abstract

Libralces was a genus of Eurasian deer that lived during the Pliocene period. The genus' main claim to fame are their 2+ meter wide antlers, comparable in size with those of Megaloceros. Fossils of Libralces have been found from France to Tajikistan with best known the French L. gallicus. According to Jordi Agustí, Libracles was the ancestor of Megaloceros, though, most other authorities regard it as a relative of moose, Alces.
