Can elk grow this big?

I found this on you tube, old photos of native americans.

I never saw an elk this big, and with such antlers, like moose?!

Is this possible or is it a photoshop?

I would guess photoshop. There is an extinct elk/deer species called the Irish Elk, or Irish Giant Deer that was a bit bigger than a moose. But even its head doesn't appear to be nearly as large as the head on the animal in the youtube video/photo. Unless, of course, those are just very small people. To be fair, people were smaller, in general, in the past. But I don't believe small enough to make the photo real.

Totally fake.

No! Photoshoped.

More likely to be the lost tribe of pigmies and a fallow deer
