Elk (Alces alces) from Franc-losovo brezno

New display Cases of the Quarter

Part of the skeleton of an elk (Alces alces), which was found by Ribnica cavers in 2001, is on display. The remains were found at the bottom of a 40-metre deep karst pit, buried amongst collapsed rocks. Elk were known in Slovenia already in the Pleistocene and became extinct in our country before the beginning of the Middle Ages.
