Extinct 'Siberian unicorn' may have lived alongside humans, fossil suggests
A terminated animal infrequently portrayed as a "Siberian unicorn" wandered the Earth for any longer than researchers already suspected, and might have lived nearby people, as per a study in the American Journal of Applied Science.
Researchers trusted Elasmotherium sibiricum went terminated 350,000 years back. Yet, the disclosure of a skull in the Pavlodar area of Kazakhstan gives prove that they just vanished around 29,000 years prior.
Sadly, in spite of its sizable horn, the "Siberian unicorn" looked more like a rhinoceros than the legendary animal its moniker alludes to. It was around 6 feet tall, 15 feet long, and weighed around 9,000 pounds, making it more practically identical to a wooly mammoth than a stallion.
The scientists are presently concentrate how this animal could survive such a great amount of longer than a large portion of its kind.
"Probably, the south of Western Siberia was a refúgium [refuge], where this rhino continued on the longest in correlation with whatever is left of its extent," Andrei Shpanski, a scientist at Tomsk State University, told Phys.org. "There is another plausibility that it could move and stay for some time in the more southern ranges."
