The Safari Ltd. Woolly Rhinoceros figure accurately portrays the Woolly Rhinoceros's distinctive features, including its thick fur coat, pronounced hump, and two prominent horns—the larger on the tip of its nose - which could grow up to two feet in length.
The figure is in a dynamic walking pose, with its head bowed, as if ready to charge. The texture of the model is rough and mimics the actualy coat that would have kept this beast warm. This figurecaptures the essence of this Ice Age giant.
The Safari Ltd. Woolly Rhinoceros measures approx: 6.7" L x 1.8" W x 3.2" H.
The Woolly Rhinoceros was a prehistoric beast resembling the rhinos of today, except that it was covered in a thick fur to protect it from the freezing climate of its Ice Age environment.
The Woolly Rhinoceros was a prehistoric mammal that roamed the vast steppes of Europe and northern Asia. Adapted to cold climates, this species was covered in a thick coat of fur, had a substantial fat hump over its shoulders, and possessed two large horns on its snout—the front horn often exceeding three feet in length. These adaptations were crucial for survival in the harsh, glacial environments of the Ice Age.
Fossil evidence indicates that the Woolly Rhinoceros was a grazer, feeding primarily on grasses and sedges. Its wide, flat mouth was well-suited for cropping vegetation close to the ground. The animal's robust limbs and sturdy body allowed it to traverse the snowy and uneven terrains of its habitat. Interestingly, cave paintings found in France and Spain depict the Woolly Rhinoceros, suggesting that early humans not only coexisted with but also observed and possibly hunted these creatures.

Woolly rhino figures are rare. Like their Mastodon, Safari got this one right, and I’m so glad. I haven’t seen a better Willy rhino, especially at this price.
