Cervalces
Cervalces is an extinct deer genus that lived during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. Cervalces gallicus is either classified as a species of the related Libralces, or an ancestral species to other members of Cervalces. It lived in Europe from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene. Cervalces scotti, the stag-moose, lived in Pleistocene North America.[1] Cervalces latifrons, the broad-fronted moose,[2] and Cervalces carnutorum were found in Pleistocene Europe and Asia.
