Lyuba (Russian: Люба) is a female woolly mammoth calf (Mammuthus primigenius) who died c. 42,000 years ago[1][2] at the age of 30 to 35 days.[3] She was formerly the best preserved mammoth mummy in the world (the distinction is now held by Yuka), surpassing Dima, a male mammoth calf mummy which had previously been the best known specimen.
