Also by Ken Walker. He did an interview for Breakthrough about it but I haven't read/watched it.
It's here if anyone wants to shell out the money.

I have read that he used several captive white elk skins. Possibly bleached, as white elk are very rare and he did a fantastic giant panda reconstruction out of black bear hides when a zoo decided they didn't want to use the hide of the panda they had that died.

From a taxidermy.net forum
> he made the form, similar to a moose, with fallow deer influence, as best as he could from researching all the Megalaceros info available. >The antlers were repro-ed by Ken from fossils

>He gained access to a skeleton and made all his measurements from them. If I recall properly (Where the hell are you Walker? Is it sheep season up there?) he used FOUR hides from captive reared white elk in order to make a seamless transition. He had two sets of antlers made form fossilized antlers and the set you see was the SMALLER set as the larger reproductions had too many flaws. He hand colored the hide to achieve the color patterns mimmicking the French cave paintings and spent weeks and months researching other cave painting as well as taxonomy of grazing animals and colorations to get to that point. If you get a chance, you must see this thing. I looks exquisitely real and at the World Show, Ken was standing by it when two guys walked by. The first guy said to the other, "What the hell is THAT?" The other guy says, "Oh that's one of them stupid game farm animals."

Found this artist on ebay awhile ago. Not the most realistic and some look way better than the other, but I've considered commissioning her for a Homotherium serum head mount or rug.
