The mummified remains of two cave lion cubs were discovered in Russia, and the recently unveiled specimens may be the best examples of cave lion mummies in the world.
Boris, the male cub, was found in 2017 when Boris Berezhnev, a local resident and licensed mammoth tusk collector, was searching for mammoth tusks along the Semyuelyakh River in Siberia. The cub is around 43,448 years old.
Just a year later in 2018, a female cub was found about 15 meters away. Researchers named her Sparta, and she is roughly 27,962 years old. Both cubs were discovered around 10 to 12 meters deep and are around the size of an adult house cat. The cubs were only one or two months old when they were mummified.
..."The cub named Sparta is especially unique since it is likely the best preserved Ice Age specimen ever found," Dalen said.
Because they were frozen in ice, the color of their fur seen in photos taken after their discovery is probably...

So they finally found Helen Thomas and Mary McGrory (a leftist nasty SOB of a writer)!
Two of the first attractions for Pleistocene Park?
One is "around 43,448" and the other is "roughly 27,963" years old.
Why not 45 thousand and 28 thousand years old?
These people are so full of bullshit and don't have a clue as to what the thing is and can't even be within centuries, let alone specific years, as to the age of these things.
someone had to have given those numbers toungue in cheek. The writers and editors were so idiotic, they passed them on tot the story. The cats were almout doubtlessly siblings, killed in the same blizzard.
The Good news is that they’re about 43,000 years old. A fantastic find.
The Bad news is that they’ve been voting Democrat all that time.
“Just a year later in 2018, a female cub was found about 15 meters away. Researchers named her Sparta, and she is roughly 27,962 years old.”
In before the cougar jokes.
ALIVE?

One is “around 43,448” and the other is “roughly 27,963” years old. Why not 45 thousand and 28 thousand years old?”
That is the number that Carbon 14 dating came up with. However, Carbon 14 dating is not precise.

No measurement is “precise”. It’s “precise” only within the limitations of the measurement error of the instruments, process and calculations.
A great disservice popular science writers do to the public is present a measurement or graph devoid of error indications. It gives a false meaning to their message.
