>A couple of weeks ago, new Pokémon games X and Y were released. A big difference between the two is the ‘legendary Pokémon’ you’ll eventually have the opportunity to catch. In Y, you’ll get some bird-looking thing that doesn’t matter, but in X, you’ll get Xerneas, a majestic, genderless fairy-type Pokémon with kicky blue chest tufts and a glowing, eight-pronged set of antlers. You might think Xerneas is just an incredibly exaggerated reindeer, but this thing actually existed a few million years ago, minus the kicky blue chest tufts and all the glowing colours.
>Behold! The ‘brush-antlered’ deer, Eucladoceros dicranios: This prehistoric species carried with it one of the most impressive set of antlers of any animal on Earth, living or dead, each one stretching to around 1.7 metres long, and ending in no less than 12 prongs, or tines. First described in 1841 by then-Director of the Natural History Museum of Florence, Filippo Nesti, this extinct species existed between 5 million to 10,000 years ago and is known from a handful of specimens uncovered in western Europe and eastern China. Nesti’s specimen was discovered in the Upper Valdarno valley of Tuscany, and the species became the first member of an extinct genus of deer known as Eucladoceros.
Once again, X triumphs over Why
