I love woolly rhinos so it was a blast getting to design this lady. I imagine she likes to play tennis and drink Bloody Mary cocktails.

From the very childhood we've been fascinated by dinosaurs and ancient creatures. So here are some of our old pictures

For a brief time, I used to have dreams consisting of adventures with the fifth Doctor, until one night I died after being thrown into a tree by a woolly rhinoceros summoned by some dystopian military scientist and I never saw him again.

Prehistoric Animals in Ice and Fire

I'm as fascinated by all the extinct prehistoric creatures that populate Planetos just as much as by the magical creatures.

Of course, we all know and love the Dire Wolfs raised by the Stark children.

And we remember the Woolly Mammoths rode by giants and that Mance Rayder led on the Wall.

Aurochs, which are a prehistoric bovine, are mentioned several times as well. Sometimes domesticated for plowing lands.

On the isle of Skaggos where Rickon is supposedly hiding, there are said to be unicorns, which may in fact turn out to be Woolly Rhinos.

And Cold Hands rides a Giant Elk beyond the Wall. In our world these are sometimes call Irish Elks.

Also mentioned are striped predator cats called Pouch Tigers that are similar to real world Thylacines.

There are even mentions of Velociraptor-like creatures called Tattooed Lizards.

My Woolly Rhino had 0 sales in my first run, so I took it down for a while… but I really love it so Coelodonta is back up!

†Woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis)

Art credit: Roman Uchytel

You’ve probably heard of this animal before- a giant, woolly-coated relative of modern rhinos with a metre-long horn. It lived in a habitat which covered most of northern Eurasia for 100,000 years, before disappearing abruptly 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age: the mammoth steppe. This was a cold, dry grassland which often snowed, and was inhabited by mammoths, bison, reindeer, horses, saiga antelope, mountain sheep, cave lions, wolves, and a variety of other animals. Here, the woolly rhinoceros was one of the largest herbivores, eating grasses and shrubs. Humans encountered these animals, and cave drawings made by prehistoric artists give us clues to their life appearance and behaviour.

Paleovember 2023, Coelodonta AKA The Woolly Rhino!

Much like it's proboscidean counterpart, the Woolly Rhino was a familiar sight all across Eurasia during the Ice Age (though it never crossed the Bering Land Bridge into the Americas). It was well adapted for it's frigid environment, with it's thick fur coat keeping it warm and it's 3 foot long horn able to sweep away snow to uncover food. It is also well attested in cave art, which give us a good idea of how the animal looked in life!
