Where did our lost rhinos roam?
Distribution charts based on bone finds (individual dots) and habitat suitability for the four fluffy rhinos of late Pleistocene.
These are of course approximate and might not include all obscure finds. #Sciart

This is not a drill, a mummified sabretooth cat has been published from the #Pleistocene permafrost of Russia. It's a Homotherium cub! The team (Lopatin et al.) reckon it's Homotherium latidens. It's too young to have enlarged upper canines. Paper is OA ... www.nature.com/articles/s41... cont...

An FYI for people doing Homotherium art:
- The colours and hair lengths of cubs are poor proxies for those features in adult cats; they change ontogenetically
- Soft tissues weren’t explored in great detail in this first study; some odd details like a lack of carpal pads should be taken with salt
