The frozen carcass of an extinct woolly rhinoceros has been found in an Ice Age necropolis in Siberia. The extraordinary carcass is 80 per cent intact and is estimated to be between 20,000 and 50,000 years old although its age is still to be confirmed.

Scientists discovered the hazel-coloured juvenile beast with its teeth in place close to the site where the world’s only baby woolly rhino called Sasha was dug out in 2014.

A horn was also discovered close to the rhino, reports said. Two extinct cave lion cubs were also found in the Abyisky district of Yakutia last year close to a tributary of the remote Tirekhtyakh River.
