Meet Lyuba, the most remarkably preserved wooly mammoth in history! 
This incredible baby mammoth, who tragically lived only 30-35 days, tells an extraordinary story of prehistoric preservation and scientific discovery. Found by indigenous Siberian hunter Yuri Khudi and his sons along a frozen riverbank, Lyuba offers an unparalleled glimpse into the world of Ice Age mammals.
Scientists uncovered fascinating details about her life and death through advanced research. A CT scan revealed her organs were miraculously intact, including intestinal traces showing she had consumed adult mammoth feces—a crucial behavior for developing digestive microbes. Heartbreakingly, her cause of death was determined to be drowning in muddy water.
At her peak, Lyuba was comparable to a large dog, measuring just 33.5 inches tall and weighing a mere 110 pounds. Her near-perfect preservation has provided researchers with unprecedented insights into mammoth biology and prehistoric environmental conditions.
