Alfred E. Neuman 5,791 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I ain't saying it's real but it certainly is innerestin A BEAST lurches through icy waters in a sighting a paranormal investigator thinks could prove woolly mammoths are not extinct after all. 415 comments Related Stories Iceland's Nessie or fancy trickery? VIDEO: GRAINY footage purports to show the elusive beast in Lagarfljót lake The animal – thought to have mostly died out roughly 4,000 years ago – was apparently filmed wading through a river in the freezing wilds of Siberia. The jaw-dropping footage was caught by a government-employed engineer last summer in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug region of Siberia, it is claimed. Video: The 'woolly mammoth' alive Shock footage ... 'woolly mammoth' crossing river ANIMAL previously thought extinct apparently filmed crossing icy river Sun Exclusive He filmed the elephant-sized creature as it struggled against the racing water. Its hair matches samples recovered from mammoth remains regularly dug up from the permafrost in frozen Russia. The official was reportedly in the area surveying for a planned road. Paranormal writer Michael Cohen said: "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. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/video/sun-exclusive/4116533/The-woolly-mammoth-alive.html#ooid=5oZDBoMzreLfI78xe1sCSLDmQQFyhXym "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." But viewers are divided on the nature of the animal seen in the video. Some have dismissed it as a hoax while others reckon it is an elephant lost in the Siberian wilderness. The third theory is the sighting shows a bear eating a huge fish. What do you think? ....

Wombat No More 2,085 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I go with the bear with a fish... The 'fish' is a different colour than the rest of the animal, and that should not be. The colour change (the fish) begins where to me, it seems the shape of the bears upper and lower jaws are visible. The size of the animal against the waves in the river, would suggest that while it is a large animal, it would be a little more than a baby mamoth if it was so... Just an opinion but I see no evidence to support the 'hype'. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Runian 925 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 funny how the trunk seams to get thinner near the face, usually on an elephant that is the thickest part.... its a bear with a fish, but if I squint my eyes and really really want it to, it looks like a tiny mamoth 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Jess Bartone 1,820 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The mind interprets a collection of photons. When I first looked I saw a woolly mammoth, but as soon as some said "bear with fish", that's all I could see. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Kredible 1,996 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 It is quite clearly a young woman trudging across a monsoon-swollen river to her dirt-walled provincial home after a long day at the internet cafe. Her back is twisted and bent from all the hours spent scamming gullible foreigners and an ergonomic keyboard is clenched between her teeth, dangling like a swinging trunk. The guy only filmed 30 seconds as he ran out of load. If you turn up your speakers and listen very closely you can hear her whispering "Ninety nine percent - - ninety nine percent....." I go with the bear with a fish, as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
