Irish Elk
Ok, they were not elk, and they weren't exclusive to Ireland. The best specimens have been found in the peat bogs of Ireland, though.
And they definitely were NOT your average deer.

Bambi on steroids...

6. Just because Ice Age humans didn't have the technology...
...to poison everything in their wake, didn't mean they lacked the tech to drive species to extinction. And did they ever.

They were food before they became transportation.
