In pictures: Woolly rhino find

Curator Andy Currant: "I could almost feel its breath"

The skull of a woolly rhino unearthed recently at an English quarry in what was described as an "extraordinary" find is unveiled at London's Natural History Museum.

The specimen was shown off as part of an event in the museum's new Darwin Centre and is now being conserved by the museum's Palaeontology Conservation Unit.

Unearthed at Whitemoor Haye in Staffordshire, it is one of the best Ice Age discoveries in Northern Europe in recent years

Bones of woolly rhinos were first dug up in the 17th Century
