The Giant Siberian Unicorn (giant rhinoceros), is an extinct species of rhino that inhabited Eurasia region alongside man and Neanderthal. It roamed the earth from 2.6 million years ago to at least 39,000 years ago.
That looks like a mythical creature
We should clone it.
Was this in the first season of Mandalorian
Imagine riding on that thing into battle.
Kinda looks like a giant sloth with a unihorn
Soooo unicorns were not the petite pastel things of little girls dreams, they were the war horse of a generals dreams.
Mammoth and rhino, wonder which was the dominant species, and if they both died off at the same time.
Till man arrived on the scene
Is that Zolensky holding the horn? Are the Ukrainians going to resurrect them for battle?
Wow!!👀
It’s eye seems to be exactly where a rhinoceros’ nostril is… Curious..
Boy, Zelenski gets around eh?
There’s always a bigger unicorn
Looks like this creature from The Mandalorian

Makes you wonder how many of these animals inspired stories of monsters, unicorns, and dragons.
Looks like a sloth?
Looks happy to see me.

> If anyone’s curious, [Elasmotherium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasmotherium) were a group of rhinoceroses, fairly widespread across Eurasia, that arose about 2.6 million years ago, becoming extinct as little as [29,000 years ago](http://thescipub.com/PDF/ajassp.2016.189.199.pdf) during the last glacial maximum. Cave paintings from [Rouffignac in France](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouffignac_Cave) might possibly [depict the last of these beasties](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Elasmotherium_cave_art.jpg) – and actually bring their extinction closer to around 13,000 years ago.
It’s an interesting restoration anywho! Definitely getting some Bantha vibes. I’d personally had gone for something more [like this](http://dinoanimals.com/wp-content/themes/Broadcast/thumb.php?src=http://dinoanimals.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Elasmotherium-949×475.jpg&w=949&h=475&zc=1&q=100), but the truth is nobody knows what they looked like, so it’s fair game.
Per /u/tea_and_biology over [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/50urmt/elasmotherium_reconstruction_at_the_%C3%BAst%C3%AD_museum/d77aqrk/).
See, unicorns did exist but they don’t fit in your beauty standards
Those were scary af in Farcry Primal
Ah, the rare brown fur Thrumbo
We need to bring it back. Scientist! Do your science magic!!
AKA the first miniboss/boss/beefgate encountered in any given RPG ever.
Yep, last one hunted to extinction by George Santos.
This is a horrible rendition of elasmotherium the wooly rhino
SUKA!
Did that guy’s pants shrink in the wash?
Doesn’t look a day over 35,000!
Mudhorn
According to “the mammoth and the flood” (1887) people used to collect and trade the horn of wholly rhinos under the claim it was a giant talon from an extinct mythical bird called the Gryphon. Similar to the old belief that a Narwal tooth came from unicorns.
“… then you have earned the Mudhorn as your signet. I shall craft it.”
and humans were around during that time, bonkers.
We ate them all didnt we
I can’t tell if it looks more like a buffalo or a sloth
No, That’s a Mudhorn, they are from Arvala-7. Their eggs are a delicacy for many humanoids.
Slothcerous.
Heavy Assault Unicorn
The size of the horn is pure speculation. No elasmotherium horn has ever been discovered. This [article](https://maxs-blogo-saurus.com/2021/12/19/a-farewell-to-the-siberian-unicorn-%EF%BF%BC/) proposes a much smaller version of the horn. Definitely not as cool, but probably more realistic.
It looks tired as hell 😴
Looks cute
Can we bring these back? I want one.
Don’t let the Jawas know
39,000 years ago sounds a lot like modern humans.
Could you imagine walking through the forest, tundra, Savannah, or whatever biome and seeing this massive beast and a couple of its friends cruising 15 miles an hour through the grounds?
It’s clearly a Unicorn on steroids
That’s what Big Potato wants you to think. Open your eyes sheeple!
Let me guess, early humans killed it off? Like everything else?
Pretty sure Din Djarin fought one of these
