Scientists found a hairy rhinoceros 50,000 years ago in the frozen soil, which lived in the same era as the mammoth.

Not long ago, scientists from the Russian Northeast Federal University unearthed a well-preserved remains, which is an ice age cave bear dating back to 40,000 years ago. But the more surprising discovery is yet to come. This time, a hairy rhinoceros was found. Yes, unlike the rhinoceros now, in the ice age, the hairy rhinoceros once had long hair to resist the extremely cold weather like many animals.

In mid-August, 2020, scientists found a young rhinoceros cow with thick hazel hair in the permafrost near Jilekhjiahe River in Abyysky District of Yakutia (also known as Saha * * * and China).

It is said to be the best preserved young hairy rhinoceros discovered by Yakutia. It is estimated that about 80% is intact, and many internal organs are intact, including some intestines, food scraps, a piece of fat and tissue, and even some teeth and horns!

Although rhinoceros was first discovered by Alexei Savin, a local resident, Dr. Valery Plotnikov of Yakutia Academy of Sciences was the first person in the scientific community to arrive here and provide the first preserved records of hairy rhinoceros.

He explained that this young rhinoceros was about 3 to 4 years old and seemed to be separated from the mother rhinoceros when she died. It is speculated that it probably died of drowning. Gender unknown.

It is estimated that the rhinoceros's body is likely to be between 20,000 and 50,000 years old, and the scientific team is still waiting for further radiocarbon analysis to determine the exact time. The thick fur and short hair found on the rhinoceros indicate that it may have died in summer.

At present, this discovery is waiting for the formation of Yakutia ice road in the Arctic, so as to transport it to Yakutsk's research team.

However, this is not the first hairy rhinoceros found. 20 14 A hairy rhinoceros named Sasha was found not far from where this hairy rhinoceros was found. Sasha was a long-haired rhinoceros 34,000 years ago. These photos really show how amazing its pale strawberry golden fur is. It is speculated that Sasha was only seven months old when he died.

In the past, scientists could only learn about hairy rhinoceros from ancient rock murals. This discovery provides a lot of vivid evidence and confirms the speculation of some scientists. Long-haired rhinos have very thick hair, and they have completely adapted to the cold climate since childhood.
