In the era when mammoths roamed, this land was not only home to mammoths but also other animals.
For instance, the woolly rhinoceros.
This creature was no small entity, at least much larger than today's rhinoceroses.
Therefore, its horn was also larger than those of modern rhinos.
For mammoths, people today desire their ivory, while for the woolly rhinoceros, modern humans seek its horn.
Of course, over 90% of the market for these is in China—these horns are extremely valuable medicinal materials in traditional Chinese medicine.
Naturally, due to rhinos facing extinction today, many have turned their sights onto horns from the woolly rhinoceros.
Why are Angong Niuhuang pills from North Korea so famous now? Why were Angong Niuhuang pills from decades ago so expensive?
Isn't it because the current Angong uses buffalo horn, while those from back then used rhino horn?
In some specific cases, for certain diseases, this is a life-saving medicine.
