Stefania Project. The skeleton of a rhinoceros “stands on its feet”. The sculptor helps with this
Scientists are now trying to “get Stefania afloat”. Adam Kotowski from the Department of Paleobiology at the University of Warsaw said that the bones Animal “After a very tedious and long process – it was finally cleaned, prepared and preserved.” “There were bones preserved in perfect condition, and there are also very delicate elements, such as the skull. Now we are trying to rebuild it. We invited an artist and a sculptor to collaborate with us who will help us fuse these elements together. The skull was very deformed and crushed ”- added Kotovsky.

Why is Stefania so special?
as a professor. Krzysztof Stefaniak In an interview with the UW website, researchers initially thought Stefania’s skeleton was another remains of a woolly rhinoceros, but preliminary examination revealed it was “a representative of the fossil genus Stefanorinus.” Scientists have determined that Stefania, the female rhinoceros of the extinct species Stefanrinus Kirchbergensis, lived for more than 35 years. Her height was more than 1.8 m at the shoulders, the height of the rump was 1.6 m, and the length of her body was from 3 to 3.15 m – she said “Policy“.
The remains of a woolly rhinoceros are widespread, while Stefanorinus Kirschbergensis is extremely rare. Usually, only small traces are found – single bones or teeth. – Only the tenth skull of an animal of this species known to science was found in Gorzów. And the other skulls are not at all complete, and not all the rest accompany them. Our Stefania may be the most complete and best preserved skeleton of this rare species in the world – he told Gorzowska “Gazeta WiborczaAdam Kotovsky in 2016.

Male Stefaniak in TVN 24It is difficult to determine if only climate change or human activity contributed to the extinction. – Today we cannot allow the few species of rhinoceros left in the world to go extinct. We have to save them – assured the world.
