Were Irish elk predators?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. The Irish Elk (which is extinct, by the way), were herbivores, just like today's deer and deer-related species are. The Irish Elk were prey animals, hunted down by lions, wolves and sometimes bears.

What is the reason for exstinction for the Irish elk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Scientists believe that it was the large antlers that were this species' demise. The size of the antlers were selected based on sexual preferences by the cows for bulls with larger antlers. Eventually the antlers became so unweildly and heavy that these deer could not go about normal business of life without the antlers interfering in some significant way.
