Sam Gibbs - 

A Russian engineer was going about his business surveying the Siberian wilderness for roads when he came across what looked like a massive woolly mammoth trudging through the water.

At least, that’s how The Sun tells it. The bastion of quality British news consulted a paranormal writer who, of course, verified the video as genuine. I’m not so sure. It’s incredibly blurry, and I have to think that someone would have seen them if they were still roaming the wilds of Siberia. Besides, if you zoom in really close it looks like a bear carrying a fish.

My mind calls hoax, my heart hopes it’s not. What do you think dear readers? Ever wanted a pet mammoth? [YouTube]

    I hope it is actually a Wolly mammoth, as I’ve never heard of one. Wooly mammoths are extinct, so a new-to-science Wolly mammoth would be quite a find! spacer

        Ah yes, with Nylon fur and plastic tusks – known to floor predators with static discharge. The Wolly mammoth is a dangerous beastie!

          Good god, If those poor Chinese factory workers are assembling these I’m not surprised they are having so many fires.

          Actually it’s a bear with a fish. wouldn’t be surprised if the blurriness is post production, given the high ethical values of Rupert Murdoch’s papers.

    I think it looks like a brown bear carrying a largish salmon in its mouth. But hey, I’m a pessimist.

      The video says I have to decide. But I don’t want too. I don’t have any kind of zoology training. This seems like a lot of unsought hassle and pressure. Why can’t the Sun just tell me what to think like it usually does?

    I’m open, it is a Woolly Mammoth Bear with a fish – if he had of taped it longer then we would know what it is when it gets out the water… but then would The Sun pay him for the full footage of a bear with a fish getting out the water, I wonder.

    The only surprise regarding The Sun… oh forget it, I can’t even be arsed making a joke against the Sun or it’s readership.

      By reading this, you are a Sun reader once removed – you may not have read it in the Sun, but it is their story written by someone with slightly more writing ability (you’re welcome Sam) and on a slightly more constructive and reputable site (you’re welcome Giz UK), but essentially you’re now a Sun reader through a Giz glasses.

          Just don’t mix that up with Jizz Glasses. Two complete separate products, with completely different results.
