Huge 32” ADULT  WOOLY RHINOCEROS ENTIRE SKULL Highly Original  WITH  ALL Real  TEETH

Species description: An adult wooly rhinoceros was 14 ft in length  and 12 ft high and 2 horns on the skull are made of keratin with the anterior horn larger than 3 ft long horn between its eyes. It had thick long fur, small ears , short ,thick legs and a stocky body. It used its horns to sweep away snow from vegetation so it could eat in the winter and defensive purposes. It did survive the last glaciation period unlike most all other mammals of its time as it was hardy and could withstand most anything but man

Rating and item description : 1-10 9.5   MONSTEROUS HUGE 32”  WOOLY  RHINOCERAS Whole SKULL  w /All Natural  Teeth with  Beautiful Brown Color. IT is very High and also 14 Inches Wide.  The Upper is 100% Natural with all  teeth from same animal. The lower had all teeth in place naturally with only a few ones reglued after they fell out . The lower is whole which is very rare.  The colors match well on lowers even though I believe it’s from another rhino which is almost universal on these but color makes it a great piece. I’ve seen many hundreds with horrible color differences but not this one. IT may be from same rhino but it is great with only backs repaired and small amount of restoration  . The backs of lowers are almost never present and few ever even repair or restore. I did this one on both sides with parts with pieces of this animal and others  . The fit at articulation point is fantastic and unheard of .  Now no one will be getting any more as only first of year Russia has laws now of items leaving country as of 2 years ago. I got this in USA , not from Russia .  This was bought in USA as it was here for many years. This is from an old collection for decades in a warehouse, and never prepped. These are found only in Russia now, but used to be Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, and a number of Eastern Europe Countries, as none in Europe have been found in years due to most areas including home caves being now controlled by governments.  While this has no large horns, I do have one great  juvenile horn you can get. If it was a large horn one the price would be over $50,000 so it’s a way to get one very cheap. I saw one with a horn in Tucson this year for $80,000. Only a few ever have the smaller horn real as only a handful have ever been found. All 4 molars on each side are present. It’s a great representation of the species. The lines and attributes are fine and the top, back, and front are perfect with all bone original on the upper. The top upper in front have little projectiles called protuberances which are so detailed and not worn and many don’t have near the detail as this one.    . I will not send this to Europe only USA . IT displays well on its molars and I’ve seen these on ebay for $20,000-$30,000  with fake horns so step up to the plate and hit a home run and buy this. It is heavy but can be carried or mailed on a skid   . I see huge upside investment in this piece for any of you and hope you see it too as you won’t be seeing these ever in future. Due to color this one looks old. This is a male rhino for sure and largest one I ever saw Even one on my collection for years is 36 inches
