For Gennady Boeskorov, extinct species are tangible artifacts of study, allowing him to experience Pleistocene animals like woolly mammoths and rhinoceroses closely, far beyond mere bones.
Woolly rhinoceroses, recently discovered mummies shed light on their adaptation to cold, thanks to intact soft tissue that allows researchers to challenge previously held hypotheses.
By directly observing the fur and skin of mummified woolly rhinoceroses, we can draw conclusions about their adaptation to harsh environments and deepen our understanding of Pleistocene ecosystems.
Soft tissue preservation in rare woolly rhinoceros mummies marks a significant development in prehistoric biology, offering fresh insights not possible from skeletal remains alone.
