Tissue from a woolly rhinoceros discovered in the frozen remains of an Ice Age wolf in Siberia provides new insights into the evolution and extinction of these large mammals that thrived during the Pleistocene.

Researchers have recovered the genetic blueprint of the woolly rhinoceros, which became extinct about 14,000 years ago, by studying a wolf that lived during that time.

Scientists have successfully sequenced the genome of a woolly rhinoceros discovered preserved in the stomach of a wolf in Siberia, shedding light on Ice Age life.
