Coelodonta tologoijensis

Coelodonta tologoijensis

Coelodonta tologoijensis is a species of woolly rhino (coelondonta). It was first known as an Asian species, but one skull found in the Kyffhauser mountains near the city of Bad Frankenhausen, Germany, was assigned to the species by researchers. This is the earliest known woolly rhino in Europe. The species is thought to have migrated to Europe between around 478,000 and 424,000 years ago during a cold, arid period.
