A duo of fishermen in Northern Ireland has found the skull and antlers of an ancient Irish Elk. The most interesting part about this find is that these species were not exclusively present in Ireland. The historic catch by this lucky fishermen made waves all over the world and caused frenzy in online media.

Some even claim that the Irish elk was perhaps the biggest deer species to exist and if we are to go by the strange occurrences that happen in this world, this could certainly be true. Although the now extinct gigantic species did exist back in the day, they were not exclusively present in Ireland. Plus, they are also categorized as deer and were present in different parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe when they were still around.
