The name "Megaloceros" is an umbrella-name for several species of giant deer.
The largest one is called Megaloceros giganteus.
They were indeed enormous deer ; the largest almost 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) at the withers , and the males had huge antlers.
Present day's fallow deer ar closely related to the giants.

I can never remember the scientific name, so for every day use I like their name "Giant deer" better  Laughing

It is also called Irish elk , but it was not exclusive to Ireland. Rather, it was so named because the most well-known and best-preserved fossil specimens have been found in lake sediments and peat bogs in Ireland.
They became extinct app 7.700 years ago, but at a time they were roaming the area from what is now Ireland and through a great part Siberia.
There has even been found bones from Giant deer in Denmark !

In 2021 Eikoh made a fine little model, and I would like to present him here.

First some comparisons .

What a fabulous topic, Susanne! cheers Bullyland and Eikoh represent two very different stages of your collecting hobby. Wink
Eikoh models have almost always a family connection with some figures from major brands. This Megaloceros is not a copy not even inspired in Papo model but the pose, the neck and antlers layout give them a similar look.
I have the Bullyland and Papo, both from you. Laughing
I am quite impressed with the fallow deer colored Starlux model, those antlers are graceful as the wings of a raptor! Very Happy

He's lovely, I really like his face, and how he manages to look big and noble despite being a smaller scale! Interesting too, that they went with the light colour design when a lot of brands have gone with brown, and included some bands or stripes of darker colour - reminds me of the ones seen in cave art.
