The Admiral Byrd story is a lot older that the stuff you found, it originates from what was claimed to be a true journal of the expedition that involves seeing mammoths, ufo's, and all sorts of stuff that he was ordered to never speak about, but kept a secret journal of and, supposedly, left for his son who gave it to someone else to publish years after the Admirals death

[@joradc]

i recall seeing a black and white film, i believe it was shot from a train in siberia, and it looked pretty authentic of a single , what seemed to be mammoth walking. I would estimate it was shot in the 40's or 50's, mammoth and it was very clear. unfortunately it was a rear view of the mammoth. you might try finding it, if you do by some chance find it, I believe you would be impressed. I am near 70 years old and It was in my 20's or 30's that I saw it, if that would help in any way.

Honestly, it'd be pretty funny if Colossal brought back the Mammoth and then we find a population of them already roaming Siberia or Alaska, although I think something like that would be more plausible with the much smaller Thylacine, instead of a multi-ton behemoth.

[@Walkeranz]

I’d guess 250 to 300 lbs. They’ll continue to grow as long as there is plenty of food to support their size, so that’s my guess the metabolism of the turtle being the limiting factor. My guess as someone who has caught and eaten one before. Taste like chicken, watch out for the head, even after the turtle is dead.

Thomas Jefferson actually believed Mammoths were roaming the Great Plains. When he sent Lewis and Clark he hoped that they would find a mammoth. The fact that Jefferson thought this is pretty interesting.

[@SharksandDinos]

Thomas Jefferson along with the scientific community back in the day thought extinction was impossible because they believed that God wouldn't have had his hard work going to waste like that. However, it wasn't until Georges Cuvier compared the morphology of extant and extinct species proboscideans, rhinoceroses, and sloths that he was able to partially show that extinction is a scientific reality. What really solidify extinction as evident reality is the fossil record itself as it showed various lineages of animals that not only evidently aren't around anymore but they would have been found by now if they were still around.

That's because the idea of extinction was really uncommon at the time. It might sound like common sense that species can go extinct, but it just wasn't something people thought happened. Part of that belief was also likely from his feud with a french naturalist, who believed North America had worse animals, and Jefferson thought the reverse, that there were just as amazing and diverse animals in North America as in Europe or Africa or Asia.

I'll believe live mammoths are real when I see a fresh dead body of one. Kind of like Sasquatch. There is a reason why our Osage tribe had to switch away from Ni-ta (literally, "Water meat", our word for elephants/mammoths) to Elk and Deer, then later to bison. But they recognized elephants immediately when the circuses brought them. And stories about them talk about how loud they were, which sounds consistent with pretty recent knowledge of them in northeastern USA. So yeah, I'd love to see them wandering around for real!

If they existed I would rather see a live one rather than a “fresh dead” one. People have trapped elephants so I don’t think it would be an impossible feat to trap one.

If skilled men as bart something his name hunted tigers alone in Yukon Canada. I don't have belief. I know a single adult male could possibly kill if he's not killed first kill and work in the mammoth ton body. There's something evil with the Sasquatch so I don't think it's body will ever be physically caught in the hands of any mere human mortal easily wounded. But mammoths are different possibly with common sense to fear the sin of gluttony from humans to hunt and kill for sport not eating the meat.

For those interested in living mammoths there's a book deries by Stephen Baxter called the "Behemoth Trilogy". It's a Watership Down kind if story with it's animals characters, still act like animals but the added bonus of a culture and even a religion for the mammoths. The first book "Silverhair" follows the titilar character, a female mammoth struggling to survive in the late 20th century on her isolated island home. 2nd book "Longtusk" is a prequel story that follows the exploits of the titular character during the Ice Age who actions were so grand his story is still remembered even by the cast of the first book. The third and final book "Icebones" I'm not going to spoil anything because the setting of this story itself is beyond wild.

[@jennymartinez4597]

Elephants are very intelligent with astoundingly excellent memory retention - so one would also assume that Mammoths were/are also intelligent with really excellent memories. I believe that a herd in a super remote region or an island comprising over a million acres say with tree cover, would stand a strong chance of surviving & even adapting to their environment especially if that environment only went through very gradual climactic change. That they would avoid humans is understandable since it’s likely any interaction with humans led to attack & possibly death to a family member. And even if the interaction occurred long ago, those Mammoths would pass that knowledge on to successive younger generations. Avoid humans! They’re dangerous! Remember the Gorilla who were thought to be legends & myths, until they were ‘Discovered’ living in the Jungles in the Congo in the 1920’s , I believe? ❤. I. Think it’s possible.

This one was an excellent watch! Such a fascinating topic. Like so many ancient giant beasts, we seem to have a need to see them alive again that goes back to our ancient roots and the nostalgia around our lost wildness. We need great beasts and monsters. That seems to be subconsciously behind both Colossal Bioscience's project - in addition to the more obvious ecological reasons - and the search of living woolly mammoths. Regarding late mammoth survival, I want to believe. The taiga is the largest terrestrial biome, and so much of it is desolate, remote and largely unexplored in modern times except for Indigenous populations. Part of me is half-convinced smaller mammoths could be serving a similar ecological niche there to the African forest elephants, only in a much more northerly clime. But the sightings of these animals and their tracks seem to be few. Granted, to have a sighting you need both the thing being sighted and a human to see it. Even so, I'm inclined to agree with you that's it's highly unlikely. If we do find relict living mammoths out there *after* similar animals get bio-engineered (assuming that project is even successful), that will lead to both a unique opportunity for scientific study and also a hornet's nest of ethical issues. Anyway, once again really enjoyed this. I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel.

Let's do the math... We already know how to clone animals, so the R&D to figure out how to clone mammoths wouldn't be too significant. Let's say it costs $100,000,000 to get to the point where we could clone a mammoth. Then once we got there it cost approximately $1,000,000 to clone each one. You could then (if you wanted to) recoup your investment by selling the opportunity to hunt a mammoth for $10,000,000 each. But why would you? There's a Nobel prize awaiting you, so why keep it a secret?

Remains of Colombian mammoths found near Castroville California were found to have fur the same color as an Irish setter.

[@twoheadedtasmanian1481]

I’m confused I thought the best frozen mammoth was found in Siberia and when they checked the stomach contents found plants only found in tropical environments ? From memory the scientists concluded it had been flash frozen because it still had food in its mouth and stomach that hadn’t been digested. Please correct me if I’m wrong thx

[@Buletspunge555]

Randall Carlson told Joe Rogan a story on his podcast. Not sure of it's origins myself. He retold a story where someone supposedly pulled mammoth remains from the thawing tundra or ice. When disecting the remains, they discovered fresh flowering greenery in it's stomach. The plants had not been in the stomach very long at all to be in their condition, and that would mean the animals' body temperature would had to have dropped so quickly it's hard to comprehend. They brought out a modern expert on the commercial flash freezing of food. The best theory is that whatever happened to that particular mammoth, it was killed and frozen solid within a few hours at most. What causes a climate to shift from fresh flowering greenery to flash freezing a multi-thousand pound mammal in that time period?

[@twoheadedtasmanian1481]

@@Buletspunge555 thx that’s where I probably heard it. My uneducated guess would be a sudden pole shift it also explains a number of other mysteries such as how the peoples of Easter island shared similarities with other cultures thousands of miles away that there was some sort of land bridge and the Easter island we see is just the top of a larger continent prior to the pole shift that also caused massive flooding that also partially covered there huge statues. I think Randall will eventually be proven right and earths history is a lot more wilder than anyone could guess andI hope I’m around to find out.

[@Buletspunge555]

@twoheadedtasmanian1481 interestingly enough, I went looking for explanations to the conundrum of a flash frozen mammoth. What I came up with is: Avalanche victim. So simple it wasn't even on my radar. There is a neat little video on the topic if you search KZbin.

[@twoheadedtasmanian1481]

@@Buletspunge555 yeah seen that video but it can’t explain how there could have been tropical plants in a sub tropic area that was cold enough for enough snow to fall to cause an avalanche. I’m pretty sure the plants found in the mouth and stomach couldn’t grow in a cold climate. Also an animal the size of the mammoth would have needed huge amounts of plant food per day just to survive let alone mate and prosper and that’s just not possible in a cold climate. I’m only using a bit of common sense but the amount of food available would have been hard to keep alive something the size of the mammoth let alone a herd of them just my thoughts though

[@dextermorgan1]

This is the third account of I've heard of someone seeing a Mammoth. None of them knew each other, obviously. They're seeing something. I believe this could be true.

[@charlanpennington3989]

I've seen the video of one grazing in the 1930's. It used those tusks to clear side to side, 4 to 8 inches of snow. Then ate the dried grasses. It was no more effort than you spreading A1 over your steak. So this dude was sorting granpas treasures. Posted as mammoth sighting. Found his movie shot on a trip in Siberia, when he left the USA to speak at a conference. Highway was at least 2 feet above the grasslands and broken barbed wire lined the edges. Grandpa pulled over on the side of the empty highway to film, when he saw the "mammoth". It was not. The thing was absolutely a furry Mastodon. It showed no interest in grandpa or the car. It just cleared a big swath and ate. I watched it in 2015 to 2017 maybe. The film is perfectly steady resting on the open car window. The Mastodon is a few yards away. While visiting the South Dakota Mammoth exibit arround 2018 i saw mammoth bones, and Mastodon paintings of size comparisons, plus many bones of other types. They spoke of other digs in the USA where a small frozen pond had produced butchered bones of mammoths. It had been used as a deep freezer during winter, to hold a cash for a few families. Rocks were used to hold things too deep for predators to take it. They mentioned 3 ponds in USA with butchered mammoth remains?

[@jeffebdy]

Slight aside, but I often wonder if some lab somewhere has been dabbling with frozen mammoth DNA & elephants. Or even Neanderthal/Denisovan DNA with modern stem cells

[@Trundlebugg]

I’m pretty open to them having hung on till within the last 1000yrs but don’t think they’re hiding somewhere in the north given that the places they could survive are open and visible, would be awesome but they’d probably be tiny and extremely inbred 😔 I do find it interesting when there’s reference to reddish hair that’s noted before the more recent mummy’s like Lyuba that have hair remaining were found though. Maybe there were earlier mummy’s that were found and that detail worked its way into oral history from there. Nice vid 👌

[@johngibson3837]

I visited Lyuba at Sydney museum in 2018 even though she's not the youngest she's supposed to be the best preserved due to falling an a mud pit as a young pup, only missing an ear as it was chewed off by a Siberian dog after she was dug up

[@teresamcnulty8471]

What if we blow on to e permafrost areas? Like hear me out, if blowing on our food makes it colder then why can’t we blow on snow?

It'll make it hotter actually and melt it lol. It's kinda like the question how come you put salt with ice to make it colder to make ice cream but than also put salt on ice on the ground to melt it. Lol that one always confuses me to this day

The Coelecath was extinct until found off of Africa. The Nautilus was extinct until found. There's no reason to believe that mammoths aren't still out there, same with the Tasmanian wolf. Things hide, it's been that way since the flood of Noah's time. It's self defense to hide from humans.

[@Tom_Emody]

14:09 Very close, but those are certainly not the same images. Look at the standing waves in the water. It’s different. That’s means it was from a different location. Very nearby, but different. Is it just obvious to me?

[@burntofferings3770]

FYI Hammerson Peter's Channel on this platform covers this topic well in relation to Mammoths in Canada. We are the only other country than Russia that has huge vast forest areas still largely inaccessible to human activity. Nahanni National Park in the Northwest Territories in Canada is the locus for these accounts.

[@DontWatchProductions]

I was up in the wilderness some time ago and came across a bigfoot riding a mammoth. I followed and took pictures along the way. I made sure to also photograph the foot prints in the mud. After about 1/2 mile, the animals entered a wating UFO. The UFO took off with them still inside. I didnt care, i had photograghic evidence. When i was hiking out, i stopped to rest on a log. I set my camera down, and before i knew it, something resembling a thylacine snatched my camera and ran away. He ran one way, and i the other.

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

Could mammoths still survive in the remote Taiga *forest?* You answered your own question. These are Woolly Mammoth. Not Mastodon. So no, they need grasslands.

[@aleisterlavey9716]

Could they have adapted to a more omnivore lifestyle? There are cases where cows f.e. ate a small chicken, probably because of malnutrition.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Amur tigers live in areas FAR more populated than the taiga region. Mastodon was not a steppe animal but forest like forest elephant in Africa and India.

[@jjr2568]

And?

[@devinjones1527]

19:00 plus, isn't the point of trophy hunting for people to see the trophies? I mean sure maybe the average person won't be invited into any position to see a mammoth trophy in someone's foyer but what about people who clean, cook, groundskeepers, nannies, or anyone who does any kind of quieter labor around the house? Surely one of them would have leaked something by now, NDA or not. There are a lot more people in and around large estates than you might think.

[@pedroroque829]

I believe mammoths were still alive until the end of the mini Ice age possible up to the middle ages.

[@Washington-Dreaming]

Here’s a great question: how do you actually “prove” a species has gone extinct? Well, you can’t, of course. What scientists should say that’s actually logically correct: “We have strong evidence the Wooly Mammoth has gone extinct.” Even my Logic 120 professor from a quarter century ago would agree with this.

[@wesmcinerny4524]

Hey, maybe they are still out there. They are one of the Lazarus taxa.

[@juttakosielowsky6942]

It is said, Mammoth, not Mammos. Not all Mammoth did fall over at the same time and dropped dead. I do believe that there are still some of them. Russia is huge and exceeds into China. So this particular region is not even to explore, dangerous at least.

[@LuisLopez-iw5zx]

The problem is Mammoths just like all their modern relatives are ecosystem engineers, they fundamentally shape the ecosystem around them that’s why it’s called the Mammoth steppe so any region they lived in would likely be very different than what is seen now also it’s more likely that Mastodons survived as they were forest dwellers unlike Mammoths which preferred open terrain.

[@AnthonyWatson1508]

From what i always heard most mammoth sightings are from Alaska and Canada. I have a question though: would there be enough food that far north for an animal that size?

[@austinhinton3944]

One contributing factor in the decline of Mammoths was the loss of the mammoth steppe, vast grasslands that sustained the grazing mammoths.

[@droidcrasher]

If there was a verified sighting of a mammoth out there, there would be hundreds of hunters going after the ivory which looks like it would yield 3-4 times what the modern day african elephant does.

[@bigred8438]

The reason the Tigre forests are there is because they replaced the grasslands that mammoths and Rhinos and the the wild horses, donkeys and gazelles use to eat. Then of course there are all the hungry humans that will eat there way from one place to another no problem.

Mastadons and Mammoths are pretty damn big, you would think someone would take notice if these creatures were still roaming around... Mammoths and mastodons are herd animals, they grazed plains and grasslands, someone would notice these creatures

[@extremempsilvamps5851]

The difference of the tasmanian tiger and the mammoth is that the Tasmanian tiger is small and easy to hide, and could easily be mistaken for a dog or a wolf. Mammoths are giants, you could probably see one of them normally if they were actually alive. So no, they are not.
