Trivia[]
- Although the species is commonly referred to as the Irish Elk, Megaloceros giganteus was present throughout Eurasia and Northern Africa during the Pleistocene.
- Apparently there's only male Tall Elks in the game since all of them have antlers, although you can find carcasses of females in some missions.
- Tall Elks are the second-fastest animals in Oros; only the Sabretooth is faster.
- Tall Elks only have 2 natural predators in all of Oros: Sabertooths and Cave Bears. These carnivores are the only ones able to kill them through scripted animations. Other predators such as Brown Bears, Cave Lions, and Wolf packs will attack them, but the Tall Elks are usually able to fend them off.
