Deer range from very large to very small. The smallest deer is the Southern pudu: it weighs only around 20 lbs (9 kg) and gets to be only around 14 inches (36 cm) tall when fully grown. The world's largest deer, extinct as of 11,000 years ago, was the Irish Elk. It reached a massive 7 feet (2.1 m) from hooves to shoulder, and its antlers spanned up to 12 feet (3.65 m). The largest living deer now is the moose. It can grow up to 6.5 feet (2 m) from hooves to shoulder and weigh around 1,800 lbs (820 kg).
Thank you deer!
