Yes this is an #april#fool post, as this is technically not an animal, but still a notable piece of history.
In 1663, a partial fossil of a #Wooly#rhinoceros was found. Otto von Guericke, a Prussian naturalist, not knowing about extinction or anything like that, concluded the fossils belonged to the mythical Unicorn, and recreated them as shown below.
This display can still be found in the Museum of Natural History Magdeburg.
