found in Russia in 2018 are 28,000 years old and in excellent condition. </span> <span data-start-time='12375' data-end-time='22042'>They say the lion baby, or cub, may still hold some of its mother's milk inside it.</span> <span data-start-time='22042' data-end-time='26104'>The cub was a female cave lion. </span> <span data-start-time='26104' data-end-time='30333'>Researchers named her Sparta. </span> <span data-start-time='30333' data-end-time='39896'>Her remains were discovered in permanently frozen ground at the Semyuelyakh River in Russia's Yakutia area.</span> <span data-start-time='39896' data-end-time='47854'>The remains of another ancient cave lion had been found nearby in 2017. </span> <span data-start-time='47854' data-end-time='53271'>It was a male that researchers named Boris.</span> <span data-start-time='53271' data-end-time='59979'>The findings were part of a study published in the journal Quaternary.</span> <span data-start-time='59979' data-end-time='66229'>The study said the cubs were found 15 meters from each other. </span> <span data-start-time='66229' data-end-time='72667'>But, the scientists said many generations separated them. </span> <span data-start-time='72667' data-end-time='81667'>The research showed that Boris lived around 43,448 years ago.</span> <span data-start-time='81667' data-end-time='86500'>Cave lions died out thousands of years ago. </span> <span data-start-time='86500' data-end-time='95167'>The two cubs, aged 1-2 months, were found by mammoth tusk collectors. </span> <span data-start-time='95167' data-end-time='103542'>Mammoths were large, hairy prehistoric elephants with very long teeth, or tusks.</span> <span data-start-time='103542' data-end-time='110917'>Two other lion cubs have also been found in the Yakutia area in recent years.</span> <span data-start-time='110917' data-end-time='116146'>Valery Plotnikov is one of the study's writers. </span> <span data-start-time='116146' data-end-time='126458'>He told Reuters that Sparta was so well preserved that it still had its fur, organs and skeleton.</span> <span data-start-time='126458' data-end-time='135479'>The find itself is unique; there was not any other such find in Yakutia, he said.</span> <span data-start-time='135479' data-end-time='147104'>Plotnikov added that the scientists hope to find evidence of mother’s milk inside Sparta in order to learn what cave lions ate.</span> <span data-start-time='147104' data-end-time='155167'>Similar finds in Russia's larger Siberian area have increased in recent years. </span> <span data-start-time='155167' data-end-time='161354'>Climate change is warming the Arctic faster than the rest of the world. </span> <span data-start-time='161354' data-end-time='169792'>That increase in temperature has melted the ground in some areas that were permanently frozen.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div
