El rinoceronte lanudo (Coelodonta antiquitatis) es un enorme rinoceronte (con 4 m de largo y casi 2 de alto) de pelo espeso que habitó las frías estepas de Eurasia (aunque llegó a extenderse hasta el centro de España y el sur de Inglaterra) durante el Pleistoceno.

Another Reaper figure. Although at first I wasn´t very excited with the figure, I must admit that painting has improved it a lot (yet it still looks a bit small).The woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) is a huge rhinoceros (4 m long and nearly 2 meters high) with thick hair who lived in the cold steppes of Eurasia during the Pleistocene(although it extended to the center of Spain and southern England).
Al contrario que otros rinocerontes, los cuernos del rinoceronte lanudo eran aplanados, pudiendo alcanzar fácilmente un metro de longitud. Gracias al hallazgo de un ejemplar de hembra completo (incluyendo carne, pelo y cuernos) se conoce incluso el color del pelaje en vida, que era pardo oscuro con una banda negra a lo largo del dorso.
Su extinción probablemente se deba a causas climáticas, ya que se trata de un animal demasiado peligroso como para ser cazado por los neandertales.

Unlike other rhinos, woolly rhinoceros horns were flat and can easily reach one meter in length. Thanks to the finding of a complete female (including meat, hair and horns), we known even the fur color in life, which was dark brown with a black band along the back.Its extinction was probably due to climatic reasons, because this animal was too dangerous to be hunted by neanderthals.

This neanderthal has little chance of surviving to that wooly rhinoceros charge, but his name is...
