'Woolly mammoth' caught on camera in Siberia

reply to post by disconnected8


Watch how the water don't splash as the animal moves through it and how there's a fuzziness around the animal's lower body, it's a hoax.

Saw a comment on the article that said something like this:

Blurry and out of focus? It's not a wooly mammoth, it's a Bigfoot!

lol That's pretty funny. But I do think there is something wrong with this video. The trunk seems to be really thin near the head but thick down by the water. And the movement seems a little off as does the water around it. I'm not 100% sold on this video.

C'mon now... It's too small and has no tusks to be a mammoth...

I actually thought it looked more like an elephant, I naver said I believed this too be true

I think the film was way too blurry, and the scene far too short to be believable. The guy should have kept filming if this was a woolly mammoth, until the thing disappeared into the woods.

That is no bear. It does not even move like a bear and you can see the large ears flapping if you look closely. The camera man could have been a long way off to be that blurry so maybe it was huge.

I don't see a bear with fish... I watched the video over and over.

To me it looks like a red-ish elephant crossing a river.

Funny how that even with some kind of video or pics people will refuse to acknowledge it's authenticity because it could be doctored in some way... but if you don't have any proof then you are making it up. I guess the term "you gotta see it to believe it" doesn't apply these days anymore.

Interesting times we live in.

What elephant do you walks through deep water with its breathing aparatus under the water the whole time?

You see them when they are bathing or when they are at play, but i highly down hes going to wade a river with his trunk under water the whole time..

The action just seems more like that of a bear with food

No, no I wasn't implying you believed it was real I was just pointing out the oddities of the clip and what I believed I was actually seeing.

If its a bear holding a fish, why would his head be down holding the fish closest to its natural element? This action could result in a loss of said fish. A bear would hold its catch as high as possible above the water.

In regards to the trunk being under water... , so what? The animals mouth is high above the water, even you can breathe through your mouth if you try.

It could be an overlay however.

Er, you lost me there, mouth is both high up and low down.

Ahh youve apparently never watched bears in the wild...........sorry but this "natural elements thing" isnt really applicable........

Watch a bear catching salmon video.........

I don't really have an opinion on this video, but I will say that I don't consider the idea of mammoths either still being alive or having lived within the last century as being all that far fetched.

There are tales from the Alaska Interior of fur and ivory traders 100 years ago that traded for reclaimed mammoth tusks with some of the villages. Most of these were collected by the villagers after they had sat on the tundra for thousands of years, granted. However, there are stories of the occassional set of (in some cases multiple sets of) tusks that still had fresh blood and hair on them and even of mammoth pelts being possessed by some of the villagers. At least one of those stories, the trader had a long discussion with one of the elders about the tusks and the elder claimed his hunters had stumbled across a herd of 5 or 6 mammoths and managed to kill 3 of them before one of the hunters was killed and the remainder of the herd escaped while they were the party was seeing to the dying hunter. The trader wrote this story up and said it was credible, going so far as to say he had eaten the mammoth meat offered to him before he packed up the tusks and took his boat back down the river.

Stories are one thing. Actually seeing just how remote and impossible to explore many parts of Alaska (and I would wager Siberia) are is simple scientific fact. The law of averages may indicate that mammoths are extinct, as they haven't been seen or at least documented beyond a doubt to still roam the tundra... but the law of averages is not concrete. The Coelacanth was believed to have gone extinct 65+ Million years ago... until a Japanese fishing boat caught one in the mid 1900s. We don't know what still lives and what is truly extinct beyond a shadow of doubt, just sayin'.

The video looked fake to me. Siberia has done this before with big foot.

24 seconds? They didn't have enough time to clean the camera lens, before it quickly ran away, never to be seen again?

Seriously, if that was a Woolly Mammoth, they would be able to find it again. There would be a clear picture of it.

Not to mention tracks on either side of the river.....

Ok, so I watched a video of a bear walking through a river with a large salmon and I must say you are correct. The bear didnt care after he had the death grip.

In response to the post above yours: whaa? An elephant, man!

Good points!

Javan Elephants were thought to be extinct too, but it turns out that they are still around.

Incorrect, they are both things.

Anyway, cool video, be even cooler if real.

Don't forget the discovery of supposedly lost tribes in remotes areas.

Nothing to see here!
