Libralces ("Weighing Scale Elk") was a genus of Eurasian deer that lived during the Pliocene period. The genus' main claim to fame are their 2+ meter wide antlers, comparable in size with those of Megaloceros (as with virtually all prehistoric deers of note). According to Jordi Agustin, Libracles was the ancestor of Megaloceros, though, most other authorities regard it as a relative of moose, Alces.
The best known and best studied species is the French L. gallicus.
