Extremely Rare - Incredible "Extinct Pleistocene" Woolly...

A rare and beautiful woolly rhinoceros fossil skull, known by the scientific name Coelodonta antiquitatis. Coelodonta antiquitatis lived in Europe and northern Asia during the Pleistocene and was a member of the megafauna. It survived until the end of the last glacial period.

For example, the Siberian natives believed that their horns were claws of giant birds or dragons
