The
Woolly Rhinoceros,
Coelodonta antiquitatis, is an
extinct species of
Rhinoceros. It lived on the northern steppes of
Eurasia, whereas its relative the
Giant Unicorn had a more southern range. It had a flat horn that enabled it to push aside snow in order to graze.
It was hunted by early humans, who probably caused its extinction.
A close relative still barely survives in
South-East Asia, the
Sumatran Rhinoceros Dicerorhinus sumatrensis.
