The animal was massive, with two large horns toward the front of the skull, and was covered with a thick coat of hair. The woolly rhino is legendary for its foul temper, and its size and huge horn give it a ferocious bravery. Woolly rhinoceros, either of two extinct species of rhinoceros found in fossil deposits of the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs (5.3 million to 11,700 years ago) in Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Bakker has completed two woolly rhinoceros replicas in the Netherlands. The woolly rhinoceros is an herbivore, though unlike its non-woolly cousin it grazes for food rather than browsing on larger plants.

Coelodonta, better known as the Woolly Rhino, is one of the few Ice Age megafauna mammals to be memorialized in cave paintings (another example is the Auroch, the precursor to modern cattle). The rhinoceros is notoriously short-tempered and prone to attacking anything it perceives as approaching too closely (generally within a distance of 80 feet-the distance of a single charge-for most rhinos). Its thick hide is a mottled gray color, and it can run surprisingly fast for a beast of its size. The rhinoceros feeds on leafy plants, branches, and even thorny shrubs.

To add to this, it was also presented as very muscular. Colour printed illustration by Heinrich Harder from Tiere der Urwelt Animals of the Prehistoric World, 1916, Hamburg. It is brown-ish white in appearance, and fur covers its body. The woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) is an extinct species of rhinoceros native to the northern steppes of Eurasia that lived during the Pleistocene epoch and survived the last glacial period. This rhino maintains its real-life appearance, with a bulky body, shorter legs, and two massive horns on its skull. Fossils of this early rhino have been found, in addition to well-preserved corpses, which were found in frozen gravel in Siberia. The woolly rhinoceros is a creature that, at one point, was being considered for inclusion in Turok: Evolution. It was well adapted to the cold it had thick, shaggy fur, small ears, short legs, and a massive body (all to lessen heat loss). The woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) is an extinct species of rhinoceros that was common throughout Europe and northern Asia during the Pleistocen. It is believed that they migrated from there to other parts when the ice age developed.
It lived there during a period of general climate warmth around the earth. Recently, the earliest known woolly rhino fossil was discovered from 3.6 million years in the Himalayas on the cold Tibetan plateau. It was widespread throughout the tundra of northern Eurasia during the Pleistocene epoch, about 1.8 million years ago until about 10,000 years ago (the end of the last ice age). The woolly rhinoceros ( Coelodonta antiquitatis) was a large mammal species of rhinoceros, now extinct.
