32,000-year-old mummified woolly rhino half-eaten by predators unearthed in Siberia

Researchers found the carcass in August 2020 in Russia's Sakha Republic, and the discovery has revealed a never-before-seen characteristic of woolly rhinos: a fatty hump on the animal's back.

Scientists have discovered the deep-frozen, mummified carcass of a young woolly rhinoceros in Siberia's ice that was feasted on by predators tens of thousands of years ago.

The woolly rhino's right side is well preserved, with patches of skin and fur that have stayed intact over millennia, but its left side shows the youngster was mauled in the hours preceding or following its death.

A wooly rhino? I had no idea such had existed. Thanks for posting this.
