Irish Elk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzHXS5A-_uk
Hello and welcome to another edition of Truth or Fail where today, we're going to be doing things a little bit differently. We're going to be talking about the craziest mammals, insects, birds, and other animals to ever roam the earth. Unfortunately, or in some cases fortunately for you, all of these animals are now extinct. Some went bye-bye millions of years ago, others left us in the last few centuries. In each category, I am going to describe to you two animals. One that actually existed and one that is the product of my very vivid imagination. You must choose the one that I did not make up. Good luck!
Round Number One: Land Mammals
Fact Number One: The Irish elk may have been the largest deer to have ever lived and certainly had the largest recorded antlers. The animal stood nearly 7 ft at the shoulders and weighed as much as 1500 lbs. It had antlers that measured nearly 12 ft from tip to tip; that weighed nearly 90 lbs. It went extinct 7700 years ago.
OR
Fact Number Two: The great arctic fox, which went extinct following the last ice age, had a little more heft than today's arctic fox which weighs less than 8 lbs. The great arctic fox weighed in at more than 75 lbs. Scientists believe they were adept swimmers and preyed on seals more than twice their size.
