39,000 years ago, a Siberian unicorn lived alongside humans

[Still Waters]

A beast that weighed in at around 3.5 tonnes once stomped across the grasslands of Eurasia, known as the Elasmotherium. It’s been coined the Siberian unicorn for the frankly outrageous horn atop its head, unsurprising as an ancient ancestor of the rhinoceros.

What is surprising is that this near-mythical beast may have walked the Earth at the same time as humans. Once thought to have gone extinct around 200,000 to 100,000 years ago, recent dating of fossil evidence bumped its extinction to a mere 39,000 years ago.
