Okay, how much did it weigh? edit
This article makes the point, over and over, that this was the most massive deer known to have lived, but doesn't appear to say how much it weighed, only that it was twice as massive as the Irish Elk. (From the Irish Elk article, I can infer that C. latifrons weighed as much as a ton and a half.) 68.4.106.252 (talk) 22:19, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Agree. 68.4.106.252 is right. It only says that it weighed the same with two Irish elks. But my caculations calculated 1.4 tonnes.Dinosaur Fan (talk) 23:58, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
- You can measure fossilized fragments and make a reasonable estimate of an animal's size but estimating its weight is much more problematic. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:33, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Dates? edit
Curious to have an article about a prehistoric creature which gives no dates... All we read is that it was "Pleistocene", and that it died out "in the last glacial period". When did it appear? What date are most of the fossils? When and where were the last fossils? Was there overlap in time between Cervalces and Alces? Richard New Forest (talk) 10:06, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
Largest bear edit
This page claims that the cave bear was the largest bear in Europe, but I thought that Ursus maritimus tyrannus was actually larger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarsath3 (talk • contribs) 17:41, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
