What If the Wooly Rhino Never Went Extinct?
would it be dangerous to human beings?
If you entered your preferred fast food establishment and found woolly rhinoceros on the menu instead of chicken or beef burgers, it might not sound appealing now. However, thousands of years ago, our ancestors relied on the Woolly Rhino for sustenance. The Woolly Rhino has been extinct for over 14,000 years, but today, we are considering bringing it back. What would our world look like if the Woolly Rhino still existed today? Would there be a threat to you and your loved ones, or would humans hunt them for Rhino burgers? Let's explore the possibilities of a world where the Woolly Rhino never went extinct. Get ready for an adventure into the wintry world of the Woolly Rhino. These massive creatures lived during the mid-Pleistocene epoch around 2 million years ago, alongside other animals like the Woolly Mammoth, Saiga Antelope, and bison. The Woolly Rhino survived multiple ice ages, including the last one, before going extinct 14,000 years ago. Standing at about 2 meters tall, these rhinos were comparable in height to an NBA basketball player, but could reach lengths of 3 to 5 meters, similar to a large canoe. Imagine encountering a Woolly Rhino blocking your path on the way to school or work - it would certainly cause delays! Weighing up to 2700 kg, these creatures were heavy and would require a team of strong individuals to move them. Their long, sharp horns were used for foraging in the snow-covered regions of Northern Asia and Europe. Despite unintentionally causing punctures, these horns were essential for accessing vegetation.
