In August, residents found a woolly rhinoceros in the permafrost of Yakut, in Russia’s far east, with several parts of its soft tissue intact. The well-preserved remains of a woolly rhinoceros, found in the Krema region of Siberia.
An ice Age rhinoceros body covered in brown hair was unearthed this summer in Siberia, far east Of Russia. About 80 percent of its body was intact, and even its “last meal” was preserved in its belly, making it the best-preserved body of the rhinoceros ever found in the region.
Local residents found the woolly rhino in the permafrost of Yakut, far east Russia, in August. The animal’s soft tissue was intact, including teeth, bones, part of the intestine, and internal organs such as large amounts of fat and muscle tissue.
, a paleontologist at the Russian academy of sciences, plott nico’s (Valery Plotnikov), told local media said Dr What age should be between the age of three to four years old, with separate life, mother from covered short short and thick fur, it is likely to be drowned in the summer, its evidence in the last meal in the belly. The sex of the animal remains unknown.
She said preliminary analysis put the rhino’s age at between 20,000 and 50,000 years ago, and that when the winter ice road forms next month, the remains will be transported to a laboratory for radiocarbon analysis, which will determine the exact age of the rhino.
Prototnikov added that the rhinoceros is now considered a unique specimen in the world, and that no previous archaeological find had ever unearthed remains of this age group, let alone been so well preserved.
“Another extinct ice Age animal dug out of permafrost,” Jamie Woodward, a professor of geography at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom, wrote in a tweet on Tuesday.
Mr Woodward also said the Siberian Arctic had seen the warmest summer on record as a result of climate change, allowing an increasing number of frozen ice age creatures to be rediscovered, but added that more discoveries were being made by using water jets to spray mud.
In 2014, the remains of Sasha, then the world’s only fur rhino, were found near the permafrost. Sasha was just seven months old, dating back 34,000 years.

The woolly rhino is being housed in a local research facility before going on public display at a museum, the report said.
The data show that the woolly rhinoceros, also known as the woolly rhinoceros, lived in northern Eurasia during the Pleistocene Period (from 2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago), and was most prevalent in Siberia. It is the same size as living white rhinos, weighs up to five tonnes and is covered in thick brown hair. Scientists speculate that the rhinoceros has two relatively flat horns, thinner than those of living rhinos, which it uses to sweep away snow and nibble away at frosted greenery.
