Fishermen discover massive skull and antlers from ancient 'Irish elk'


Two fishermen have stumbled across an unlikely find: the skull of a creature that roamed the Earth some 10,000 years ago.

What they hauled into the boat was the skull and antlers of a great Irish elk (Megaloceros giganteus), an extinct creature that likely stood about 6.9 feet (2.1 meters) tall.
