'Woolly mammoth' spotted in Siberia​

Shock footage ... 'woolly mammoth' crossing river
Barcroft Media​

​
A BEAST lurches through icy waters in a sighting a paranormal investigator thinks could prove woolly mammoths are not extinct after all.​
​
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

ANIMAL previously thought extinct apparently filmed crossing icy river​
​

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.
​
"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?​

The hair matching aspect is interesting

Here is another example that i came across watching a documentary on New Zealand a few nights ago, it highlights the reality a critter can be living in an area and go un noticed

In 1910 some canadian moose were introduced into the wild in new zealands south, the last one was thought killed in 1952.
A reported sighting in 1971, had the search on for these animals but they found nothing

Game cameras and other equipment was set up but found nothing

hair samples were found in 2001, but skeptics claimed it was a setup

Mr. Tustin didn't have much luck until 2001, when hair found by two hunters was identified by scientists as coming from moose. Skeptics insisted the sample could have been planted to trick Mr. Tustin, who has chronicled his 30-year pursuit of the lost Canadian herd in a book titled Wild Moose Chase.
But the latest specimen, snagged waist-high on the bark of a tree in the deepest reaches of New Zealand's most inaccessible bushland, was found by Mr. Tustin himself.

In the interview i saw recently he noted that the samples would only last about a month in the wet and wild conditions, thus they consitute proof these animals are still alive in the area.

And unlike the sasquatch etc etc, this is a species we know for a fact is real, and yet proof of its existance in this location is as rare as hens teeth


Canadian moose may not be New Zealand myth

Thanks Mike I was going to point this out that we do indeed have Moose hiding out in Fiord-land due to a fair number of sightings over the years. It is a very remote area of which much is extremely inaccessible if not darn near impossible to get into other than by boat or for the most part by foot. Even then due to the weather conditions there travel by foot can be very dangerous.

Anyway in this case I think it is a bear with a fish.
 
I genuinely wanted this to be footage of a living mammoth, but it is footage of a large brown bear catching a member of the salomnidae family.
The footage was shot in the chukotka* area**: .

*"In Chukotka brown bears are found near rivers, where pacific salmon come to spawn. In the middle of summer salmon is the main food of brown bears. Commonly dark brown or black – bright hues and "silvertips" are very rare – these bears are very strong, ranging in height between 2.5 and 3 meters,"

I must say thats what i "see" too, a bear with a fish, But whats the explanation for these comments

The jaw-dropping sighting was confirmed by multiple witnesses, including a government-employed engineer last summer in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug region of Siberia.
The elephant-sized creature struggled against the racing water, then headed for the witnesses, who ran fast – and far. But not before snatching some hair samples along the mammoths’s route.
Its hair matches samples recovered from mammoth remains regularly dug up from the permafrost in frozen Russia.
The witnesses were reportedly in the area surveying for a planned road.

I'd be more interested in these hair sample results and the details (if there are any) than the footage itself.
I doubt the multiple witnesses will ever surface or the DNA testing.

I suspect these claims have been pinned to the footage to make the claim more believable.
 
My problem with the video is two fold...It's just too short...where's the continuation of the video where the creature leaves the river?

Secondly, from what i can see of the creature (which does look a great deal like a bear IMO) the profile does NOT match the skeletal profile of a Wooly Mammoth's skull. Note the crest on the rear of the skull.
