5. The beam of antler is very short, with end in a large wide palmation. The praemaxilla and facionasal parts — according to the description of Kretzoi — are strikingly very short, only 2/3 — 1/2 parts of recent Alces. The neck of the animal is short, while the dorsal and lumbal regions are relatively long. The humerus and the femur/tibia are long compared to the metapodia, which suggested a tall body height (Table 2.). The metapodia are strong, wide and flat. 2
