Unicorn is /was real PinGGG!..............
Rainbow skittles, too?
It was killed by an ancestor of Donald Trump and George Bush................
Killed by global warming no doubt.
“According to early descriptions”
From where or whom did these descriptions come from 29,000 years ago?
Moscow...............
Either that or some early form of a Frenchman. I hear they like horse meat.
The question on researchers’ minds is how this unicorn lasted so much longer than those that died out hundreds of thousands of years earlier.

Elasmotherium sibiricum
If you google the name of this beast, most of the drawings show a much different looking image of this animal....
The Image in the article looks more like a horse, most of the google images look like a rhino...
For decades, scientists have estimated that the Siberian unicorn -- a long-extinct species of mammal that looked more like a rhino than a horse - died out some 350,000 years ago, but a newly found skull, which was remarkably well-preserved, was found... Researchers from Tomsk State University were able to date it to around 29,000 years ago via radiocarbon dating techniques. Based on the size and condition of the skull, it was likely a very old male, they suggest, but how it actually died remains unknown.Well, obviously it died of old age, aged at least 321K.
“Killed by global warming no doubt.”
Which the last paragraph of the article implies!
Apparently, it didn’t make it onto the Ark.
Some of those images look like bison with a horn.
According to the song, no it didn’t................
There’s evidence that wooly mammoths still trod Wrangle Island while the Great Pyramids were being built.
Kazakhstan Chamber of Commerce is hoping for a boost in tourism.
take a jacket.
Knowing how the species survived for so long, and potentially what wiped it out in the end, could allow us to make more informed choices about the future of our own species, as we find ourselves in a rather perilous situation.
I cant believe that they are trying to create a link between a creature that died 29,000 years ago and global warming.
IF climate change had anything to do with this creatures extinction then to me it proves that they can not definitively link technology and climate change.
If natural processes can cause climate change then it is nearly impossible definitively say that mans impact on the ecology is the cause of climate change.
