What is the habitat of Irish elk?

The Irish elk, also known as the giant deer, is extinct.

While often called "Irish elk," they were actually found across Europe and Asia, not just Ireland.

Based on fossil evidence, their habitat was likely open woodlands, grasslands, and wetlands, similar to modern deer species. They would have been adapted to environments with plentiful vegetation for grazing.

It's important to note that we can only speculate about their exact habitat preferences based on their skeletal remains and the environments in which they are found.
