woolly rhino
Shaggy prehistoric pachyderm
A woolly rhino is an extinct rhinoceros that lived during the Ice Age, adapted to cold climates with a thick coat of fur and a massive horn.
Woolly rhinos roamed Europe and Asia alongside woolly mammoths until roughly 10,000 years ago.
Fossils and frozen specimens preserved in permafrost have revealed much about their appearance and diet.
