Cervus Rostratus: The Beaked Deer | Animated Short Film (2023)

The debut episode of a fictional documentary series on unique prehistoric creatures introduces the Cervus Rostratus, Latin for "Beaked Deer."
The episode showcases a fossil, emphasising its distinctive features and the challenges of its discovery. Initially mistaken for a pterosaur, a 2005 find of an almost complete fossil confirmed it as a prehistoric artiodactyl, and therefore a member of the ungulates. Scientists consider it an early form of deer, but its exact placement in the deer family and evolution remains uncertain.
Through visual effects, the fossil of the Cervus Rostratus can be resurrected and witnessed in its natural habitat: a prehistoric forest.
