"We need to do some genetics on this": World-first as entire woolly rhino genome recovered from Ice Age wolf pup's stomach
Analysis of the genome of a 14,400-year-old woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis), recovered from the stomach of an ...
Towards the end of the last ice age, an ancient wolf feasted on a young woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis). When the wolf died, it ended up buried in Siberian permafrost for about 14,000 ...
Researchers were able to sequence the full genome from the 14,000-year-old chunk of preserved woolly rhinoceros meat.
In 2010 Yukaghir hunters found the nearly intact carcass of a young woolly mammoth frozen in the northern Siberian permafrost. With its reddish-brown fur still clinging to its skin, the dog-sized calf ...
Hippos from Central Europe were assumed to have gone extinct around 115,000 years ago when the temperate conditions of the region transitioned into an icy one with the end of the last interglacial ...
