Live woolly mammoth filmed in Siberia?

Or that's what they say. It certainly looks a lot like a mammoth but then again, it looks just as much as a large brown bear carrying a very large fish on its mouth. And that's much more likely Also, they cleverly avoid showing the animal out of the water.
But it's an interesting video nonetheless, so here you have it:

No, it's more like a fish with a mouth in it's bear.

Bearing in mind I'm no expert, there's definitely something fishy about that video.

It's bear grylls with a bear in his ... ah nevermind

It's fake... Just like the 'newspaper' that supports that video

Haha, its ironic how I post several threads about actual paleontology and I only get comments on the fishy (in more than one way?) mammoth video. Screw this :cool:

I could not bear to see another video like that. I want a salmon salad now.

Live Science article which also casts some doubt on its authenticity.

I watched the video again in full screen and the front leg appears below where it would be visible if the waterline was consistent with the rest of its body.

And here's a news report stating that it is a fake and that the original footage was of the river without any animal in the footage.
