Encyclopedia: Woolly Rhinoceros

The Woolly Rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) is an extinct species of rhinoceros that lived during the Pleistocene epoch, but survived the last ice age. The woolly rhinoceros is a member of the Pleistocene megafauna. It lived on the northern steppes of Eurasia, whereas its relative the Giant Unicorn (Elasmotherium) had a more southern range. It had a flat horn that enabled it to push aside snow in order to graze. The Woolly Rhino also had thick fur and a layer of thick fat to keep it warm from the cold conditions it endured.
