Scientists in Siberia have discovered a well-preserved Ice Age woolly rhino that likely roamed Russia's extreme north thousands of years ago.
The carcass was first revealed in August by melting permafrost in the diamond-producing region of Yakutia.
The rhino was found on the bank of the Tirekhtyakh river in the Abyisk district, close to the area where another young woolly rhino was recovered in 2014. Researchers said that specimen was 34,000 years old.
The carcass is estimated to be anywhere from 20,000- to 50,000-years-old.
