Blurry Footage of Woolly Mammoth Show That Their Tusks Are Really Made of Rubber [Science]
 |
| Wooly Mammoth spotted in Sibera. Video footage is slightly better quality than Bigfoot sighting videos. |
Two months ago, the Russians reported capture of the Yeti, but later retracted and admitted it was just a publicity stunt to raise money for orphans.
This latest video from Siberia shockingly shows a 'woolly mammoth' crossing the river. A government-employed engineer last summer in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug region of Siberia claimed he filmed the elephant-sized creature as it struggled against the racing water, sporting giant tusks and a red coat.
The engineer was reportedly in the area surveying for a planned road.
The Sun is reporting that its hair matches samples recovered from mammoth remains regularly dug up from the permafrost in frozen Russia.
According to Paranormal writer Michael Cohen:
"Rumours of a handful of mammoths still kicking around in the vast wilderness of Siberia have been circulating for decades and occasionally sightings by locals have occurred.
"Siberia is an enormous territory and much of it remains completely unexplored and untouched by humans. "
Woolly mammoths roamed the Earth 10,000 years ago during the last Ice Age.
A small pocket remained on and around Wrangel Island, off the coast of Siberia, and these did not die out until 3,500 years ago.
Mr Cohen, 41, added: "It is highly possible that a number of species, extinct elsewhere, survive in the area.
"If surviving woolly mammoths were found in Siberia, it could run against Russia's plans to further develop and exploit the area's considerable resources.
"It would be potentially one of the greatest discoveries ever."
Other animals rediscovered after previously being thought extinct include the coelacanth. The large fish was believed to have died out over 65million years ago, but a live specimen was found by fishermen off the coast of South Africa in 1938.

A bear with a fish in his mouth. You'll note the video doesn't continue until the animal is on land and can be more readily identified.
ReplyDeleteBingo! Very astute. Yes, no tusks either. Oh those Russians (tsk tsk). Are they hitting the vodka and getting bored?
DeleteThat's what I see also. Large bear with a large fish.
ReplyDeleteWhat next are the Russians going to try to pull over on us?

Does look like a bear with a fish in its mouth. I don't see any tusks either?
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty silly.
ReplyDeleteYep, good call. Most certainly a fish.
ReplyDeleteI disagree w/ the bear analysis. It certainly is an elephant- an Indian elephant- most probably filmed in the lower Himalayan mountains which the are known to travel into.
ReplyDeleteOr its a mammoth.
In either case the Japanese should be cloning them pretty soon anyways and then we can repatriate these awesome beasts.
Bear...plain as day. I am not sure the water flows "right" around it...doctored?
ReplyDeleteIf this is a Brown Bear with fish head in bears mouth hanging then this is one big ass brown bear !
ReplyDeleteI'm with SciaticPain on this one. Definitely seeing a pachyderm... Probably not a Mammoth, but there are too many traits pointing away from a bear and toward an elephant. The video states Siberia, but could have been shot elsewhere... somewhere pachyderms actually belong. If somebody was trying to fool us, why would they use a bear? Just shooting for the simplest explaination. Too bad. It would be awesome to see one of these giants walk out of the arctic wilderness!!!

No way that's a bear. I think its a CGI Mammoth put in this video. The water really doesn't show the splashing effect around the animal.

LOL I think it's a bear too and I do believe New Anon above me is correct.
ReplyDeleteAs far as cloning, I suspect there are a lot of things already in the process and it will just be a matter of time till they tell us.
However I'm also for anything that will draw tourists to Siberia.
I see a trunk, ears, and glimmer of white from tusks. Bears have a much more supple, rolling walk to them than elephants where you can see the muscles ripple and move, especially of the shoulder region in bears. This critter moves carefully and stiffly- as if each footfall, if misplaced, could spell disaster- exactly how a multi-tonne elephant would walk. Indian elephants are known to venture up to 9000 feet up in the eastern Himalayas- where you would find vegetation as seen in the video.
ReplyDeleteElephant, an Indian Elephant none the less but still an elephant. But really its pointless to argue about what we see in videos but its a change of pace from the blobsquatches.
THERE'S NO WATER SPLASH FROM THE LEGS.... IT'S BLURRY .. AND IT'S SHORT SHOWING NO EXIT FROM THE RIVER ...PROVING THAT THIS IS THE NEXT RUSSIAN HOAX... YOU NUTS THAT BELIEVE THIS CRAP ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE ALL THOSE OUT OF WORK COMPUTER PROGRAMERS LAUGHING ACROSS RUSSIA... THEY GOT YOU ALL AGAIN....LOL
ReplyDeleteThe Russians have shown that they can hoax with the best of them,so I can't believe anything they put out,unless it's shown close up,in focus and verified by an outside source.
ReplyDeleteIf it's an elephant of any kind, why is the tip of its trunk in the water? Does it have gills up its nose?
ReplyDeleteIt is most likely someone's camera phone taking a video of a bear crossing a river with a fish in its mouth. When played back, the person taking the video thought that it looked a lot like an elephant (which it does), and presto, a mammoth hoax was born.
ReplyDeleteIt probably wasn't even filmed in Siberia. That's just a back story to make the story seem more plausible.
It doesn't move like a bear, not even a bear in deeper water. Bears don't have a back sloped quite like that either.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit like flapping elephant ears in the close up.
ReplyDeleteIf you were that close to a big bear, would you stand that close calmly and take a video?
Elephant or bear, the video has a "Photoshopped" quality about it.
ReplyDeleteIt's now shown to be a fake.The original cameraman has spoken out about it.

That's sort of where we're really focused.
