MysteryMike Posted February 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) I just found this video, which claims to be a live Woolly Mammoth crossing the river. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4116326/Woolly-mammoth-spotted-in-Siberia.html What do you think? Real or not? Looks like a Bear with a fish by the head in it's jaws to me. Edited February 8, 2012 by MysteryMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokey Fraggle Posted February 8, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Erm, it looks a little bit on the small side. I know it's shot from a distance but still... Also, why would the 'trunk' such a different colour from the body? I love how, with all the technology available these days, not one video of this kind of thing is anything like a decent quality .

Skeptic Chicken Posted February 8, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm hoping that Mr.EVERYTHINGISAHYRAX doesnt discover this thread just yet :\ And I have to agree with you. The head doesnt look right, I mean, wheres the trunk? If it is a mammoth, then the face should be more verticle, rather than snouted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodnite Posted February 8, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I sure as heck can't tell what it is, but is is on the smallish size for a mammoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verneph Posted February 8, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) It could be a juvenile, but then where's its herd? I can see an overall shape of a "brown elephant-looking thing", yet something doesn't seem quite right about it.

Mallaliak Posted February 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Looks fake to me, as the supposed mammoth looks alot more blurry than anything infront or behind it. Besides, who would not try to get a better picture of a LIVING mammoth that you see out in a stream? I'd move so close so it would actually notice me then I'd start filming. Imagine the fame for having a clear, genuine video recording of a living mammoth, you'd be famous. It's like claiming to have bigfoot's in your backyard regulary, but you never bother taking a picture of them, or try to get any evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finder of Lost Things Posted February 8, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Looks a little too small. And why oh why is the video proof in every case blurry???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you've totally seen him back there. Totally. And everyone should believe you, because it is totally true and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryMike Posted February 8, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) That's what it looks like to me too. That's what it most likely is. I agree with you Still Waters. Edited February 8, 2012 by MysteryMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookietim Posted February 8, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I sure as heck can't tell what it is, but is is on the smallish size for a mammoth. Well, let's suggest a simple explanation for why it doesn't look like the Wooly mammoth's of picture books : Perhaps, like everything else, in the few thousand years since the last one was seen it changed due to evolution? Or an even simpler explanation - it's a misidentified animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msm57 Posted February 8, 2012 #14 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Its hair matches samples recovered from mammoth remains regularly dug up from the permafrost in frozen Russia. Really? they got a sample of it's hair? It's a bear. With a fish. Best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hucksterfoot Posted February 8, 2012 #15 Share Posted February 8, 2012 It's like claiming to have bigfoot's in your backyard regulary, but you never bother taking a picture of them, or try to get any evidence. http://www.cryptomundo.com/bigfoot-report/overnight-am-bigfoot3/ We introduced the story of “Mr. Mike”, who claims that he is experiencing repeated Bigfoot sightings in the backyard of his home, on July 3, 2010 when “Mr. Mike” joined the program and we found ourselves inadvertently making history.

Fluffybunny Posted February 8, 2012 #16 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I wonder if it could be cg...there doesnt seem to be any water splashing up against the "mammoth". It just looks like it is walking slowly, not struggling to get across. The movement doesn't look right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted February 8, 2012 #21 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm going to vote with the bear crowd too. It does appear like a small mammoth in a few frames, but if you go frame by frame you can probably find one that looks like a boar, and other that looks like an ape, and so on. Overall it looks like a bear. As usual the most telling thing to me, is that why didn't the guy rush it when it came out of the river? The bank it was heading for is pretty steep, so it would have been slow to pop up into the woods. At the least there would be evidence of elephant-like tracks.
