Rezumat

The paper presents description of giant deer remains from Upper Paleolithic (Late Pleistocene) sites of Moldova. The comparison of size and proportions of dentition and lower mandibles revealed the resemblance of Moldavian with giant deer from Germany and Holland. Both samples of giant deer share the relatively long upper premolar series. Unlike the giant deer from Ireland, the Moldavian form is characterised by poorly developed cingula in upper molars and relatively long upper and lower premolar series that are regarded here as a primitive condition. The tooth series of the Italian giant deer are similar in their proportions to the specimens of Megaloceros giganteus from Moldova, however the Italian form is significantly smaller.
