FfFfFfFF 58,139 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 A well-preserved ice age woolly rhino with many of its internal organs still intact has been recovered from the permafrost in Russia’s extreme northern region. It's among the best-preserved specimens of the ice age animal found to date. The carcass has most of its soft tissues still intact, including part of the intestines, thick hair and a lump of fat. Its horn was found next to it. Yakutia 24 TV quoted Valery Plotnikov, saying that the woolly rhino was probably three or four years old when it died. Plotnikov said the young rhino could have drowned. Scientists dated the carcass from 20,000 years to 50,000 years ago. More precise dating will be possible once radiocarbon studies can be done at a laboratory.
