Their Iconic Woolly Coat Was A Survival Masterpiece It Wasn’t Just A Single Layer Of Fur—they Had
Description
Their iconic woolly coat was a survival masterpiece. It wasn’t just a single layer of fur—they had a dual system. The outer layer consisted of coarse guard hairs up to 3 feet long, while underneath was a dense, shorter undercoat for insulation. Together, this could keep them warm in temperatures as low as -50°C (-58°F). Some well-preserved fossils even suggest their fur color ranged from dark brown to reddish or even blonde, thanks to pigment analysis
