Interesting Facts
The Woolly Rhino (Coelodonta antiquitatis) roamed Eurasia during the Pleistocene Epoch and was adapted to cold climates, much like its contemporary, the Woolly Mammoth.
These massive herbivores had thick fur and large, flat molars designed for grinding tough, fibrous plants in their icy habitat.
Many Woolly Rhino fossils have been discovered in permafrost regions of Siberia, where they remained exceptionally well-preserved for thousands of years.
