The find consisted of fossilized bones, unlike the Siberian mammoth finds, which had flesh and skin with hair. How do they know it was woolly?

Here is an article that says that they have found carcasses of woolly rhinos.

"At Staruni in what is now the Ukraine, a complete carcass of a female Woolly Rhino was discovered buried in the mud. The combination of oil and salt prevented the remains from decomposing allowing the soft tissues to remain intact."
