The Woolly Rhinoceros was a large, Ice Age rhinoceros species that inhabited vast regions of Europe and northern Asia throughout the Pleistocene epoch. Adapted to survive in cold, glacial environments, it was covered in a thick coat of fur and possessed a massive hump over its shoulders, which supported strong neck muscles used to move its heavy head and horns. As a prominent member of the Pleistocene megafauna, it shared its frozen world with mammoths, giant deer, and early humans.
Fully grown woolly rhinos reached lengths of about 9.8 to 12.5 feet and weighed between 4,000 and 6,000 pounds. Their large, curved front horn—sometimes exceeding three feet—likely served multiple purposes, from defending against predators to sweeping snow aside to uncover vegetation. Despite their formidable size, these rhinos were primarily peaceful grazers, feeding on grasses and hardy tundra plants that thrived during the Ice Age.
