Other species of Ice Age mammals had this same trick, but other researchers assumed it was part of the animal\u2019s display equipment.<\/p>\n<p>While the authors of the examination didn\u2019t explain how it was found, leading to <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2024\/09\/25\/science\/woolly-rhino-mummy-preserved-permafrost-intl-scli\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the suspicion<\/a> it was unearthed by mammoth ivory hunters, the animal\u2019s left half was so badly damaged they could only conclude it was eaten by predators, perhaps suggesting it was found after defrosting naturally from the permafrost.<\/p>\n<p>The specimen bore a light brown coat of fur, suggesting that rhinos were born with something like a blonde coloration that gradually darkened as hairs in preparation for adulthood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OTHER ANCIENT BEASTS: <\/strong><a title=\"Paleontologists Hunted for This Giant Bird Skull for Over a Century\u2013Finally, a Complete \u2018Thunderbird\u2019\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodnewsnetwork.org\/new-zealanders-hunted-for-this-giant-bird-skull-for-over-a-century-finally-a-complete-thunderbird\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Paleontologists Hunted for This Giant Bird Skull for Over a Century\u2013Finally, a Complete \u2018Thunderbird\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another feature of its fur were the preserved remnants of small parasites\u2014water fleas\u2014which no longer exist in the region today, indicating how much the environment, even so far north, has changed.\u00a0Future examinations, perhaps on its intact stomach, might reveal details about its diet.<\/p>\n<p>It was the second-largest animal in its ecosystem behind the woolly mammoth, and despite the smilarities, they inhabited different enviornments. Additionally, the mammoth made the leap across the Bearing Land Bridge, while the rhino didn\u2019t.
