Woolly mammoth spotted in Siberia

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.

He filmed the elephant-sized creature as it struggled against the racing water, sporting giant tusks and a red coat.

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."

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.

Because that's the only kind of camera they had 3,500 years ago, when the footage was ACTUALLY shot! ;D

It's a little gamey but not bad with the right marinade.

Anyone here see the movie "10,000 B.C" with the mammoths helping build the great pyramids? That was some funny shit right there... ;D

Every now & then a Saber-Tooth tiger is seen in the foothills...

[Awoke]

Yeppers. Fairly good flick.

I saw the video at thesun website. I think it is a bear with a big salmon in his mouth... However if you are a paranormal specialist named Cohen you'ld sell this as a mammoth!

[Awoke]

This thread is full of lols

I was thinking the same thing. Anytime I see "proof" in pictures of some phenomenon -- they are almost always grainy.

Serra isn't the only expert who can shed some light on this mystery: another person is Ludovic Petho. His name may not be familiar to most people, but his work has been seen by millions; he filmed themammoth footage at the Kitoy River in Siberia's Sayan Mountains in the summer of 2011.
He's not an anonymous government engineer, but instead a writer and videographer. Petho filmed the river scene during a 10-day solo hike in the mountains as part of a video project he's working on about his grandfather's escape from a Siberian POW camp in 1915 and his walk across Siberia to Budapest, Hungary. The footage may end up being used in a documentary film — but there's one big difference between the video he shot and the woolly mammoth video.
"I don't recall seeing a mammoth; there were bears, deer, and sable," he said in an interview with Life's Little Mysteries. "But no woolly mammoths. I had no idea my footage was used to make this fake sighting." Petho noted that his original video had been available on YouTube since July 2011, depicting an exactly identical scene — minus the faked woolly mammoth, of course.

Yeah, I was thinking that mammoth would be no match for the Russian logging team.

[TheNocturnalEgyptian]

I had a thread on here about how they got usable DNA from a wooly mammoth bone, the Russians said they would have one cloned inside of 5 years. That sure was fast, it's done already.

Whatever do you mean?

I wonder what 'splenation paranormal writer Cohen has in mind?

Did the ghost of Rabbi Moshe Krause enter his computer video editing software and made the footage of the bear mammothy by making the image smokey and blurred...
