- Woolly rhinoceros
|
| rdfs:comment | - Recently, the oldest known woolly rhinoceros fossil was discovered from 3.6 million years in the Himalayas on the cold Tibetan Plateau, meaning it existed there during a period of general climate warmth around the earth. It is believed that they migrated from there to northern Asia and Europe when the Ice Age began.
- File:GorgonHead.png The woolly rhinoceros was an Ice Age rhinoceros from the Pleistocene. It was a rhino fully adapted to the hostile conditions of the late Pleistocene.
- The woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) is an extinct species of rhinocerosthat was common throughout Europe and northern Asia during the Pleistoceneepoch and survived the last glacial period. The genus name Coelodonta means "cavity tooth". The woolly rhinoceros was a member of the Pleistocene megafauna.
- The woolly rhinoceros is the fourth animal available to hunt. It is dangerous when cornered or surprised, and will gore any hunter that gets too close with its sharp horns. It is also commonly seen while not being hunted. It can be mistaken for the Brontotherium at long distances. Its dinosaur sounds like a combination of a roar and a cow's moo.
- As the last and most derived member of the Pleistocene rhinoceros lineage, the woolly rhinoceros was well adapted to its environment. Stocky limbs and thick woolly pelage made it well suited to the steppe-tundra environment prevalent across the Palearctic ecozone during the Pleistocene glaciations. Like the vast majority of rhinoceroses, the body plan of the woolly rhinoceros adhered to a conservative morphology, like the first rhinoceroses seen in the late Eocene. A study of 40-70.000 year old DNA samples showed its closest extant relative is the Sumatran rhinoceros.
