Safari Ltd. Prehistoric World - Woolly Rhinoceros - Quality Construction from Phthalate, Lead and BPA Free Materials - for Ages 3 and Up

The Woolly Rhinoceros was a prehistoric beast resembling the rhinos of today, except that it was covered in a thick fur to protect it from the freezing climate of its Ice Age environment. The closest living relative of the Woolly Rhinoceros is the endangered Sumatran Rhino, which also has a coat of shaggy fur. Coelodonta lived during the Pleistocene Era, from around 3 1/2 million years ago to just over ten thousand years ago. While it was long believed that climate change at the end of the last Ice Age led to their extinction, interactions with early humans likely played a larger role, as these giant beasts were hunted heavily by our prehistoric ancestors.
