Is that a woolly mammoth caught on video?

A government worker in Siberia claims he filmed a woolly mammoth crossing a river last summer. Woolly mammoths have been extinct for about 10,000 years. The video is as grainy as those that purport to show Bigfoot. But, hey, it’s the Internet. Let’s let our imaginations run wild.

Still, British tabloid The Sun says it could actually be such a beast. Well, the “paranormal writer” the paper quoted says that.

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. ”
