A woolly rhino fossil dug up on the Tibetan Plateau is believed to be the oldest specimen of its kind yet found.



The creature lived some 3.6 million years ago - long before similar beasts roamed northern Asia and Europe in the ice ages that gripped those regions.



The discovery team says the existence of this ancient rhino supports the idea that the frosty Tibetan foothills of the Himalayas were the evolutionary cradle for these later animals.
