2020 Siberian Woolly Rhino Find Reveals Neck Fatty Hump
Researchers have confirmed that a woolly rhino discovered in Siberia in 2020 had a fatty hump on its neck, resolving a long-standing mystery about ancient cave drawings depicting such a feature. The specimen, found in Yakutia and dated to approximately 32,000 years ago, was in good condition and showed a 13-centimeter hump, providing the first physical evidence of this characteristic in woolly rhinos. This discovery supports the idea that the hump served as an energy reserve during harsh winters.
