NeutralArtificial Intelligence
- Scientists have successfully sequenced the genome of the woolly rhinoceros, a species that has been extinct for thousands of years, from remains discovered in the stomach of a naturally mummified Pleistocene wolf pup. This significant finding sheds light on the dietary habits and ecological interactions of these ancient species during the Pleistocene epoch.
- The discovery of woolly rhinoceros DNA in the wolf pup's stomach not only enhances understanding of prehistoric ecosystems but also opens avenues for further research into the genetic makeup of extinct species, potentially informing conservation efforts for endangered species today.
