This is not a model. Or a shabby taxidermized modern rhino. This is a "fossilised" Woolly Rhinoceros, discovered in Starunia mine in Carpathian Ukraine (then Poland) in 1929. Dating to the Pleistocene, its exquisite preservation is owed to a mixture of brine, oil & clay. Held on display in Krakow. 🧵
