Mankind drove the wooly mammoth to extinction thousands of years ago (save for the one seen only by a hallucinating giant bird on a kid’s television show), it’s one of our earliest victories in the War on Animals. However, we may need to go back and finish the job.
A new video, reportedly shot last summer in Siberia, shows what looks to be a wooly mammoth walking through a river. If it’s real we may need to grab our elephant guns and snowshoes. However, the video is only 10 seconds long, the mammoth doesn’t seem to cause the rushing Russian water to break and there’s no explanation for why the video is only surfacing now. So it seems like it’s probably fake.
But you don’t win a war by making assumptions. Let’s go accomplish the mission.
