Roughly 14,400 years ago in what is now Russia, a wolf pup feasted on the meat of a woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis) that probably belonged to one of the last populations of the species. A ...

On the vast expanse of the Siberian steppe 14,000 years ago, a 2-month-old wolf pup gobbled down some woolly rhinoceros flesh. Moments later, its underground den collapsed, killing the pup and its ...
