yup,,, it seams that you cant see a good image of the animal,,, but you can see its reflection in the water.
spooky

It looks like a bear with a big fish in its mouth to me. Definitely not a mammoth.

Doesn't mean anything. Gimmie about 20 minutes in photoshop and I can do a nifty reflection

Overall, it's fake. The Sun is one of those junk tabloids that you see at the checkout stand. Y'know. The ones that talk about batboy and what not.

How DARE you say BatBoy is a lie! I saw him with my own two peepers! :P

Why is it that these "professional" paranormal reseach types are such crappy photographers? Auto-Focus has been around for years...

thats kinda the point that i was getting at:D
spooky

The quality is so poor it is hard to say if it is a bear or cgi I think I am leaning to a bear as the scale of the waves seems to small for a mammoth.

Well from the 3 explanations it gives the bear with a fish in its mouth is the only plausible one. Also imo thats wht it looks like. Theres no way an elephant could survive in siberia. Its freezing cold there and they dont have fur. And its not a woolly mammoth bc they were all killed by the last ice age or by people hunting them to death. To me it really does look like a bear with a fish.

^ This

While I can't say it's straight-up impossible for it to be a mammoth, even a novice with Photoshop could create that image with source material that blurry. There's just no way this can be taken seriously.

It doesn't really look like a bear to me. So I'm going to go with CGI.
If it was really a mammoth it be weird that it was alone, mammoths traveled in packs. Wouldn't there have been more then one?

Yea i was kinda thinking this too. As far as elephants females and the young stay together and i think the males roam in a pack together too. So ya seeing it alone would be kinda odd.

ive always wondered the same thing!

How about this its a picture of a bear photoshopped into a river. I mean to me it's obvious plus the backdrop is a little too "perfect"


1.0 normal bp- Blitz
1.0 Nicaraguan boa- Gavin
0.1 Red Tail Boa- Tara

anyone ever seen the bat boy musical? My college put on a production, it was REALLY GOOD!

x2, now has anybody heard the horns of the apocalypse yet? I guess people all over the world have been hearing the same sounds. It's believed to also be a prank to promote the new War of the Worlds movie.

it looks pretty much what I expected it to look like. A brown bear carrying a salmon it just caught. Anybody who's watched a few nature shows has seen that image before.


Kind of reminds me of that "chupacabra" someone photographed a while back.

Not necessarily. There was a population of smaller woolly mammoths on a small island (I think the article actually mentions this) just north of Eastern Siberia until about 1700 BCE.
And they weren't killed -by- the ice age, it was a mixture of environmental change amplified by the effect of human hunting.

/nerd

Ahem, anyways it's not a gaattt dang mammoth.

Came across this pic by accident on facebook... look fimilar? lol

BTW! I am not at all saying that I do not believe that there are hidden creatures out there. I am fairly sure squatches exist and am intreagued at the thought of werewolves. I just think it's awefly naave of us to think that we have truly mastered this Earth and are fimilar with all it's inhabitants. Anyways, this one was pretty obvious from the beginning.

It's a squatch bent over with an arm dangling in the water. :gj:

Nope :)

LGray beat me to it but HERE is a page where you can see both the fake and the original video.
