Etching of Elasmotherium Sibiricum, based on skeletal structure, white rhinos and mammoths by Nicole Wassall

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Based on research by Professor Adrian Lister, Merit Researcher at the Natural History Museum, London, artist Nicole Wassall created an illustration of Elasmoterium Sibiricum by studying skeletal remains found on the Eurasian grasslands, alongside its closest living relative the white rhino and it’s contemporary the woolly mammoth. Professor Lister’s research was ground breaking because, through radio carbon dating, he proved these beasts lived around 30,000 years ago, and crossed over with modern humans. It is argued that this was the true ‘unicorn’ as it makes the earliest written accounts of unicorns, including Pliny 77AD and the bible, emphasising the strength and fierceness of the unicorn more plausible.
