Spartak was named after after Spartak Khabrov, one of the tusk hunters who discovered the cub in their ice tunnel. At that point we didn’t know the sex. As this paper shows, aDNA & morphology confirmed she was female, so Spartak became Sparta. Paper:

Here is a short video clip put together by @CNN that shows how the cub was recovered from the permafrost. She didn't exactly exactly emerge yelling "I AM SPARTA!", but close to it 😅 Paper by Boeskorov et al. here: https://t.co/yLLaWK3Sxu https://t.co/sd

Just…wow 😮

Denna grottlejonunge är sannolikt det bäst bevarade djuret från istiden som har hittats. I en nyligen publicerad studie av bland annat @love_dalen, vid @CpgSthlm på @Stockholms_univ avslöjas att det är en hona som avled för cirka 28 000 år sedan. #iceage h

This CAVE LION cub is arguably the best preserved #iceage animal ever found! It's name is Sparta. In a paper published today with colleagues from 🇷🇺 🇯🇵 & 🇫🇷, we use DNA & 14C to show that it's a female cub that died c 28,000 years ago. Read more
