The video discusses the Siberian Unicorn, a prehistoric creature that may have coexisted with humans. A skull found in Kazakhstan suggests these creatures went extinct 29,000 years ago, much later than previously thought. The Siberian Unicorn was larger than modern rhinos, standing 2 meters tall and weighing 4 tons. It was a herbivore with a habitat extending from western Russia to eastern Kazakhstan.
