Scientists recover genome from woolly rhino eaten by Ice Age wolf puppy - study
Researchers have extracted DNA and recovered the rhino's genome from a chunk of undigested meat from the stomach contents found in a wolf puppy's remains.
An unusual DNA source shows woolly rhinos did not slowly decline genetically, pointing instead to rapid climate warming.
Little is known about why the woolly rhinoceros went extinct around 14,000 years ago. Scientists have found clues in the frozen remains of an ice age wolf.
Studying how ancient animals lived and why they died out can offer important insight to protecting species today.
