Baby Mammoth Named Lyuba on Display at Chicago's Field Museum
A 42,000-year-old intact baby mammoth named Lyuba (pronounced Lee-OO-bah) is part of a new mammoth and mastodon exhibit at Chicago's Field Museum. The baby mammoth was discovered in 2007 by a Siberian reindeer herder and his sons. The mammoth baby is considered to be the best preserved mammoth specimen ever discovered. The exhibition, developed by The Field Museum, marks the first display of the baby mammoth in the United States. You can read more about the amazing exhibit here on the Field Museum's website.
