The legs are short and as it is a three toed ungulate, the feet have the correct amount of toes. The neck and the top of the back is big and thick. There is a prominent bump on the top of its head and the two Shrek like ears are up and alert, sprouting from either side of the head. The second horn is just in front of the eyes with no gap between the bases of the two horns. This would have helped the animal brush and clear away snow to get at the vegetation underneath. The first horn is long and curves back toward the body. I would think it is closer to 1:30 scale, though it stamped 1:24. It is 6in long and 2.5in high at the hump. To adapt to living in cold climates it also had small ears and a short tail. The Woolly rhino still has one family member left, the Sumatran Rhino, unfortunately there are probably under one hundred left on the planet.Ībout the toy: The pose on the figure is very passive, with all four feet calmly on the ground with its head down ready to dig through the snow for vegetation to eat. Some of the defining characteristics of the animal were two horns on its snout, a stocky body with short legs, and of course, it was covered in shaggy hair. The Woolly Rhino is not quite as popular as the Woolly Mammoth in toy form, but it is made from time to time by different companies. To honor the cold weather that has descended upon my home, I decided to review something that was woolly and knew how to enjoy the cold. I know this because the snow is finally falling, the temperature is freezing, the super bowl is done, and the Toronto Maple leafs are making trades to figure out how to improve their team. It has been a unusually warm winter, but finally this week, winter has assuredly come to my neck of the woods in North America.
