Preserved Woolly Rhino Unearthed in Siberian Permafrost
Gold Miners Make Remarkable Discovery
A Rare Glimpse into the Ice Age
Gold miners in Siberia have made a remarkable discovery: the mummified remains of an extinct woolly rhinoceros. The rhino, which is estimated to be around 30,000 years old, was found frozen in permafrost, its soft tissues and horn remarkably well-preserved.
The discovery is considered a scientific breakthrough, as it provides unique insights into the Ice Age and the extinct species that once roamed the Siberian landscape. Scientists believe the rhino died suddenly and was quickly frozen, preserving its remains in the permafrost.
