"LIVE" Wooly Mammoth Recorded In Siberia

Photo and video at link.

Curious to see how the usual suspects blow a gasket over this one trying to explain it away.

That alone makes me think it might be a scam, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised either way.

There are thousands, if not millions, of species humans haven't discovered and recorded yet. I wouldn't be shocked if there were a few "extinct" species still around, where we just hadn't discovered the remaining population.

Well that one blurry picture sure settles it for me.

Magic fucks with film.
Something, something, Voldemort.

My lack of excitement is what is really surprising me here.

Imagine the steaks!

No-one will blow a gasket.

Having watched the video I'd say:

1) A fake - About 95% likely.

2) Actual mammoth - About 5% likely.

If it is a real mammoth though, there is nothing paranormal about it. The evidence will show they survived and were undetected and we will document them. Do you really think there is some conspiracy to cover up the existence of living mammoths?

Where did the hair sample the article refers to come from?

But the nuke took out all of Lotus!

I never said anything about it being paranormal. It's just strange and fascinating.

The article you quoted does though.

No, they quoted a paranormal investigator who thought this was real, but no where in the article was it even insinuated that this was anything other than a real live animal.

The "classic hoax-level blurry quality" of the video, combined with the fact that few mainstream sources other than notorious tabloid The Sun, are currently carrying the story, dampens my enthusiasm somewhat.

I hope against hope that it is true, for if true, it would surely be the most gobsmacking natural science discovery in more than 100 years. It would be just so cool. Alas, the realist in me says we'll no doubt soon discover it was merely a circus elephant or such like, that was given a dip in the local river. Some guy shot a blurry video and realised that in the low quality shot, the animal could pass for a mammoth, and since he was in siberia, the idea of starting an internet hoax for shits and giggles struck him.

But I do hope it is in fact a mammoth. Who knows? Most people don't realise how big Siberia is. The vast taiga is more than twice the size of the Amazon. Even something the size of mammoths could conceivably hide there for a very long time.

Can't get the video to work. But I swear I see bigfoot in the woods behind it!

honestly, looks to me like a large bear with a rather large fish dangling from it's mouth.

if it were a mammoth, then you would have to assume the trunk is hanging straight down into the water. Give that trunks are for breathing, that's seems wildly unlikely.

There is no direct nearby object that provides a solid frame of reference on size, particularly not knowing the size of the trees in the shot, but i do not think it's "obviously" as big as an elephant in any sense.

Going with bear. If we knew what river it was, we could check how wide the river is in that spot. Then you could calculate the size of the manbearpigmammoth with at least some degree of accuracy.

Fake.

Its been a long time since we've discovered a previously unknown species of large land animal, however. The biggest has been about the size of a deer, IIRC. That's a long way from an elephant sized animal which needs to eat close to a ton of food a day.

It's probably not a mammoth, but it would be neat if it was.

Sure it wasn't an otter?

I met a real Russian once. Honest.

Beat me to it. Definitely a bear with something in its mouth.

As I recall that deer was rather small as deer go and it was extremely secretive & found only in dense tropical jungles in Vietnam away from people. People simply being in the area seemed to frighten the deer off.

I just don't find it creditable that such a large animal as a mammoth could exist in the taiga without leaving tracks, dung, hair, or dead bodies for the numerous researchers who have looked for it over the last 200 years.

There's no submarine, conveyor belt or ass.

Commie!

Good eye. That's what I'm thinking, too.

I have serious doubts, but it would be pretty cool if it really was a mammoth.

Aren't some scientists trying to "recreate" mammoths using DNA and elephants or something?
