Eucladoceros or bush-antlered deer is a Cervid Artiodactyl from Pliocene to Pleistocene Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. Eucladoceros was a large deer, reaching 2.5 metres in body length and standing about 1.8 metres tall at the shoulder, only slightly smaller than a modern moose. It had a spectacular set of antlers which split into twelve tines per pedicle, and were up to 1.7 metres wide.
