woolly rhinoceros
Ice Age beast
The woolly rhinoceros was a large, shaggy-coated rhinoceros that roamed northern Eurasia during the Ice Age.
Like the woolly mammoth, it was adapted to cold climates with thick fur and a massive build.
It went extinct roughly ten thousand years ago, though preserved specimens have been found frozen in permafrost.
