Currently, experts still do not know if this animal is a dog or a wolf. However, they can be sure that he died soon after eating.
“In DNA testing, the fur in the abdomen does not look like a cave lion.” “Love Dalen, professor of evolutionary genetics at the Center for Paleontology, the link between Stockholm University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History,” said.
“Based on the database and DNA from all mammalian mitochondria, we believe this is the fur of the fluffy rhino.” Professor Dalen told CNN, the expert added that he had never heard or found tissue fragments inside an Ice Age predator.
Center of Paleontology researcher Edana Lord, who co-authored the study of the fluffy rhino’s extinction, told CNN that the animal was roughly the same size as today’s white rhino. to speculate that the dog can hardly defeat the rhino on his own. In addition, the researchers also found that the puppies died shortly after eating rhino meat.
“The puppies must be dead soon after eating rhino meat. The food is still not fully digested. – said Mr Dalen. Currently, experts still don’t know if this puppy is a dog or a wolf.
Professor Dalen said that if it was a wolf, this animal could have missed the dead rhino or enjoyed the rest after being eaten by someone else. And while “fighting”, the unlucky kid met the mother rhino.
