It was widespread throughout the [[tundra]] of northern [[Eurasia]] during the [[Pleistocene]] epoch, about 1.8 million years ago until about 10,000 years ago (the end of the last [[ice age]]). Recently, the earliest known woolly rhino fossil was discovered from 3.6 million years in the Himalayas on the cold [[Tibetan Plateau|Tibetan plateau]]. It lived there during a period of general climate warmth around the earth. It is believed that they [[Migration|migrated]] from there to other parts when the ice age developed.<ref>Ice Age giants may have evolved in Tibet. CNN 1 September 2011.

Fossils of this early rhino have been found, in addition to well-preserved corpses, which were found in frozen gravel in [[Siberia]]. [[Stone Age]] humans hunted woolly rhinos; they drew pictures of the rhinos on cave walls 30,000 years ago, giving us even more information about th
