Woolly Chalico

The woolly chalico (Borealotherium') is an extinct species of Chalicothere that lived in northern Europe, Siberia, and northern North America during the last Ice Age. Woolly chalicos were about the size of a modern okapi and were mainly herbivorous, but as recent studies showed, they were likely insectivorous and carrion eaters as well, unlike modern-styled chalicos, which were most closely related to woolly chalicos. They most likely lived in grasslands near forests as where the remains of woolly chalicos were discovered showed. They were probably solitary, but as some remains being discovered with other woolly chalico remains showed, they were more likely about as social as white rhinos of today. They may have had a gestation period about 1 year and 2 months and the young of woolly chalicos may have reached maturity about 3 years, but may have had a lifespan about 52 years as some remains showed. It is unknown why woolly chalicos became extinct, but it may have been human hunters of the last Ice Age who drove them to extinction, however, due to lots of perfectly preserved remains of woolly chalicos, even including ones that looked like they died few years ago, may help scientists clone and bring this Chalicothere species back from extinction.
