BREAKING: Another extinct ice age beast exhumed from the permafrost. Exceptionally well-preserved carcass of a juvenile woolly rhinoceros discovered in Yakutia. Its internal organs and stomach contents await investigation. Photos by Valery Plotnikov. http://siberiantimes.com/other/others/news/a-well-preserved-woolly-rhino-with-its-last-meal-still-intact-found-in-the-extreme-north-of-yakutia/
“The juvenile rhino with thick hazel-coloured hair and the horn, found next to the carcass, was discovered in the middle of August in permafrost deposits by river Tirekhtyakh in the Abyisky ulus (district) of the Republic of Sakha.”
“It is the best preserved to date juvenile woolly rhino ever found in Yakutia, with a lot of its internal organs - including its teeth, part of the intestines, a lump of fat and tissues - kept intact for thousands of years in permafrost.” #IceAgeExtinction
Temperatures in the Siberian Arctic in the summer of 2020 were the highest on record leading to sustained thawing of the permafrost https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-53140069
Warming is contributing to these discoveries but it’s not exclusively a product of climate warming. Well-equipped gangs seeking woolly mammoth tusks are exhuming long-buried ice age carcasses as they blast the Pleistocene mud with water jets https://www.wired.co.uk/article/mammoth-tusk-hunters-russia-china
More photos of the ice age woolly rhino recovered from the Siberian permafrost. Radiocarbon dating and DNA analysis will be key aspects of the laboratory work https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/dec/30/siberia-permafrost-yields-well-preserved-ice-age-woolly-rhino
View this footage of the woolly rhino in situ. Note the gentle cleaning using the power hose that blasted away the Pleistocene mud to exhume the carcass in the first place. How much damage was done, we don’t yet know

Russian researchers say this may be the best-preserved woolly rhino ever found: “There are soft tissues in the back of the carcass, possibly genitals and part of the intestine” https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/melting-russian-permafrost-yields-new-woolly-rhino-specimen-180976664/
“the new specimen was discovered by local resident Alexei Savvin just a short distance away from the site that produced the world’s only example of a baby woolly rhino. That specimen, first unearthed in 2014, was subsequently spruced up and named Sasha.”

Chauvet Cave in the Ardèche was discovered in 1994. It contains more than sixty images of the woolly rhinoceros. The #IceAgeArt at Chauvet is over 30,000 years old.
