- Essequibo, Hidden River - Extra Long Documentary: • Essequibo: Hidden Rive...
15,000 years ago our planet was inhabited by millions of mammoths. Their ancestors headed north from the savannas of Africa in a much earlier epoch and spread out over large portions of the globe. This migratory movement began in a warmer climatic phase, so when the Ice Age began the creatures were forced to perform one of the greatest feats of adaptation in the history of the earth. Dick Mol, the world-famous expert on mammoths, traces the original mammoths back to Namibia, trawls the bottom of the North Sea for mammoth fossils and, with the help of gold-diggers in northern Canada, digs up perfectly preserved mammoth bones from the permafrost.

garbage !
Actually The Asian Elephant is the closest living relative to the Mammoth! their also physically more similar!
Stupendously Amazing
It's not, have you seen the African elephant.@@goodone5590
this guy is truly living his passion. lucky man.
I could truly feel Dicks enthusiasm for mammoth fossils
What an incredible landscape it must have been when these beautiful creatures were roaming!
Je ne parle pas anglai
Deadly for you and me.
Unless you were in it...
My favorite Ice Age critters are still sabertooth cats but I loved finding mammoth fossils here in Florida. We don't have bones of the Whooly Mammoth but many Columbian Mammoth fossils. I was fortunate enough to work on several fossils sites comtaing these giants of the Pleistocene mega fauna and I also love studying the fossils of their cousins the Gomphotheres and mastodons. I recently spoke with Dr. Daniel Fisher at the University of Michigan about his latest research on Mammoth specimens from Siberia. This research is bringing to the public a greater awareness of these giants biology and life styles. Very excellent video.
Wow, that's awesome!
Check out the ice age grizzly bears yikes
Davidletasi3322: I am from Florida; I did not know that mammoth fossils had been found there; where in Florida were they located?
Cool! I love all cats!
There is no such thing as a "wooly" mammoth. Which you would know if you find mammoth fossils in Florida. The mammoths at the North pole didn't have wool but merely light hair. They died frozen to death when the temperature dropped hundreds of degrees very rapidly. They were still standing up and some with food in their mouths. They froze so fast that they didn't have time to fall over. They just died.
Look up Walt Brown's book, "In the Beginning".
THE German guy gets so excited in this video, HE LOVES WHAT HE IS DOING...
He is Dutch.
Thank you
@@vangelderresike But he is speaking German I think. Or a Dutch dialect that sounds a LOT more German than what I hear here in Rotterdam.
He is speaking german for some confusing reason though.
@@vangelderresike Raar Nederlands dialect spreekt hij dan...
Great to feel the emotion this man has for these noble mammoths.

Just goes to show that you don't need a college degree to be an expert in a particular field...the college educated guys seek out this guy's guidance...love it...that's a man who has truly earned his position in life...mad respect...🤟🏿😎👍🏿
Absolutely his passion got him there. 👏
Training is 1 thing passion is another!
well he did study animals bones because he work at the animal custom office, so he does study from books and such.
Maybe you don't "need" a college degree but you still have to study. Also, the dude did have to reach out to other college educated experts for help.
@@pudermcgavin4462 You still need both.
when you find human hunting instruments embedded in 15,000 year old mammoths, you sort of have to re-write the historical record a bit.
What do you mean ?
@@proudconservative2158 things seem to be a bit older than 6,000 years
Datable traces of Man in North America run back 10,000 to 12,000 years.
@wackoguywatch carbon dating isn't used on fossils or specimens older than about 10,000 years. There are 3 other types of radiometric dating that all correlate and give similar ages despite all having wildly different half-lives; there's uranium-lead dating, potassium-argon dating and rubidium-strontium dating. I suggest you actually read up on the actual science of radiometric dating before making such baseless assumptions.
I don't follow...egypt is 12k years old. Humanity is what 2 million years old? Humans have used weapons for a long time.
Amazing that such creatures were still roaming the Earth less than 5,000 years ago
I think about that also. The fact that certain civilizations we study, had Mammoths roaming their world. Did they try to use them as transportation, like we can do with Asian Elephants? Were they sweet and loving towards their own herds?
@@aimeefriedman822 How could anyone use a mammoth for transportation?
We still have elephants which are very similar. We also have the largest animals that ever lived, blue whales.
We still find mammoths here in Alaska, because of the permafrost! You read about it in our papers, mostly stumbled across by excavators building homes!
This exact comment, identical down to the punctuation, was posted a week earlier by someone using a completely different name. Why?
The other person's account is 2 years old but it doesn't have any content, unlike yours.
I've seen this phenomenon before on UA-cam but I cannot figure out what's going on! Any chance you might tell me?
PS -- I just found another one. Same comment, different account posted a day before this one. A reply there makes me think I'm not the only one who's noticed this.
@@heidihogshire yYou're not the only one to notice but you are the only one who is traumatised by such a confusing mystery. I hope you are OK 👍
No you dont you troll lol
Is he insane? A woolie mammoth park! Millions of people would want to see it!!
My gosh - what a teaching tool !!!
My moms uncle who died in 1994 had what I believe was a Mammoth tusk he found in southern Minnesota in an area that later became a park. It was very straight and about 8 feet long. It was in a round clear tube when I saw it in 1994 and the surface was flaking like an old bar of soap left outside of a package for several years. He had a $10,000 tag on it as he had been trying to sell it for too much for years or decades. I saw it after he passed away and his son said that it was going to be donated to a museum.
may have been a mastodon tusk.
@@bobs5596
What is the difference?
and your point ?
@@olavwilhelm6843
And your point??? Ok I’m guessing that you have to be smarter than everyone else.
@@boydwalker161 look up mastodon tusk image, choose stock photos and look through them. some are very straight and like a spear.
This is a excellent documentry and very informative I want to say a big thankyou to you for putting this on you tube anyone interested in mammoths should almost certainly watch this regards
wonderful documentary
The cinematography is absolutely amazing and beautiful.
Your film is very informative. I am proud and excited to say that where I live in Southeastern Arizona we've got five Mammoth kills down here on the San Pedro. They found the first Clovis point down here and later Folsom. I often look through all the grass we have out here and imagine a big herd of Mammoth walking through it. Bring him back how does it region and some of the northern parts of the United States really could use a great grass mower like the mammoth.
Must have been good meat too. I sometimes wonder if they provided a nutrient we require and we are missing nowadays. 🤓🍻
@@alsaunders7805 vitamin m
You hear of lots of theories about the Grand Canyon and I think they are wrong in some ideas about a great Ice dam breaking and it washed all the dirt away. I believe that America was covered in ice because it was in a different position as the earth was tilted differently. It was during this very early time that the canyons were formed and they filled with ice so they couldn`t fill with anything and about 12,000 years ago the earth was hit with a comet large enough to change it`s tilt and that when the Grand Canyon opened up like it is now. I think several such things has made the earth change its tilt in the last million years or so.
Though the Clovis point, a rather large and tricky piece to flint-knapp, points to some religious or symbolic significance to the megafauna hunt... and all the North American Clovis points that have been dated span within about five centuries of each other. Then -- they stop.
There are some mistakes in this documentary mammoths are more closely related to Asian elephants nor African. 🇬🇧 👍
Really amazing that within permafrost are so so many bones from animals that lived so long ago, and they are not fossils but still actual bones. Shame and interesting how the bones are often found individually and not complete skeletons. I hope we will be able to retrieve actual DNA from many animals within a given species to maintain the health of the species.
Wrangle Island is composed mostly of mammoth, rhino bones. They used to be gathered and exported by the SHIPLOAD to make piano keys and billiard balls
@@jandrews6254 Now fossil ivory (no poaching, hey) is seen on high end art knife handles.
You’re going to maintain the health of the species by mixing with genes that couldn’t make it? To make them strong?
@@debbylou5729 couldn't make it? like they were somehow inferior??
@@mottthehoople693 yeah, extinct thing usually didn’t have what it takes to your social justice flag needs someone educated to hold it
Excellent work on this !
Thanks a lot!
You’ve got the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and the other worthless channels completely beat! Thanks for a fantastic video with serious discussion.
Great program. Thank you.
Very good documentation of the mammoth. I really enjoy watching everything from the ice age time! So neat too see dinosaurs and other things we no longer have!But their time did come and go.
Our time is also coming...!
this is so cool
Fascinating and Mr Mol’s passion for mammoths was encapsulating to watch 👍
It was actually very heartbreaking to see this amateur destroy rare finds that should have had much more scientific method applied to their study.
I love this documentary. The only issue I have is that I have always been told that Mammoths are more closely related to Asian Elephants than the African species.
Information is dynamic in every scientific field. Never expect a fact from yesterday to be set in stone.
@@nickisnyder3450 African elephants branched off from a common ancestor earlier than Asian elephants. Nothing I'm aware of changed this relationship. The African elephant in this video was just for illustration purposes, and they're still really closely related.
I think this was a mistake, it should have said the Asian elephant.
When they said mammoth DNA was 99% identical to elephant DNA did they specify a species? I thought they did but it could be they were only illustrating the idea with an African elephant.
Probably because most mammoth bones are found in the Siberian Arctic wich is apart of Asia
Dr Grant Zazula is a legend!
So my understanding of Mammoths slowly transition from ice age to warmth climate and also assisted in the "forestation process" of our existing planet since they travel long lengths south they follow their own trails. I find very instering that by having very tough disgestive system mammoths were able to sustain through out time and once they lost teeth were off to starve and die which it's also sad. Thanks for sharing! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 #-2022
Yeah. If you have a favorite old mammoth, trying to sustain him on wheatgrass shots would be one doozy of an undertaking.
Mammoths-Giants of the ice age,, also the best documentary 👍👍
I’ve seen a more recent report that said the last remaining mammoths were a herd on Alaskas Aleutian Islands. They died because of a lack of available fresh water. This was only 3-4000 years ago.
Wrangle island.
Closer to Russia.
Such an interesting video and well done! Thanks
Great video! I enjoyed it a lot!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Ookkkk?
Thank you, the more we know, the more we can prepare for what is to come in the future. Such a treasure!
Soooooo fascinating! Superior vid!!!
As I sit in my 12x13 foot living room and imagine a 16 foot tusk I can only be amazed by the enormous size of these animals.
Ooo-ooo-ee-ah-ooo.
Simply amazing imagine seeing a herd of these bad boys wow I’m just amazed and amazed with the scientist who study them
A prehistoric elephant is any member of Elephantidae that is extinct, modern elephants are a paraphyletic group because prehistoric elephants are nestled within lineages that include modern elephants, asian elephants (genus Elephas) are more closely related to both mammoths (genus Mammuthus) and straight-risked elephants (genus Palaeoloxodon) than they are to african elephants (genus Loxodonta), african elephants are a basal genus within the subfamily Elephantinae (True Elephants), the four-tusked elephants (genus Primelephas) are the only known members of the subfamily Primelephantinae, mammoths are officially counted as elephants because they are part of Elephantidae.
yeh they just a bigger and furry elephants :P
Ok!!
Information, interesting and enjoyable
Kool video very impressive thanks
Instead of going through all the trouble of bringing mammoths back, I'm sure you could find many a grandmother willing to knit sweaters for elephants.
I love how you spend so much time giving them positive stimulation. This video shows a special human helping and nurturing some lucky little domesticated rats.
🐁 Curses, Spoiled Again! 🐀
grade 2 education still goes a long way,just think Darwin was the only human to notice a link between spices in all those centuries? And tribes.Similiar we were taught that one realized the world was round,because some poor blok was standing on the shore and say the ship or ships coming in,and low and behold the top of the mast could be seen first.The poor bugger never went up in a plane or new anyone who had traveled anywhere other than the feildlands local.Theres allways more to be said.
Cool stuff.
Mammoths were friendly animals and it would be great to see one.
We were probably their most significant predator, I doubt they were friendly with us. 🤓🍻
But yes, it would be awesome to see them again.
wow what i wouldnt do to study under this man
The Ice Age started 2.75m years ago. Within this period there were numerous glacial and inter-glacial periods. The previous interglacial period, the Eemian, was about 125,000 years ago. If we are going to call the period from the Eemian to the start of the present warm (inter-glacial) period and ice age, we need another name for the 2.75m year period in which there were numerous warm and cold periods.
Mammoth Stew.... Ahhh those were the days 🤠.
Amazing 👏
Beautiful animals ❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🎣🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just awesome....Thanks very much...!
Our pleasure!
Uh ooook.
Iit be great to see these mighty mammoths return
Well if it was possible for sure
AWESOME!
I wish I could be rich so I could finance this Man's explorations and discoveries !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People almost always forget that where ancient life is concerned, they always seem to forget about ancient diseases we know nothing about. As neat as ancient life is, time happens as it should and human kind should stop trying to interfere so much. Be grateful what you have.
Excellent comment, your right maybe ancient pathogens could be recovered out of permafrost samples. Scientists are already extracting DNA from permafrost sediments.
@@davidletasi3322 Thanks, I try to make reasoned arguements, but sadly there's no arguing with fools who are hellbent on doing things they shouldn't lol I'm still quiet the JP fan, but as a kid i didn't really understand Ian Malcolm lol Now, as an adult I do and no longer find him annoying but find him frighteningly reasonable lol
when permafrost melts, not matter what humans do, they will spread, primordial disease
very informative great film, respect
this was so fascinating.
Anyone that can needs to go visit the Waco Mammoth National Monument. It's just west of Waco, TX and is well worth it.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
OMG these animals are absolutely beautifulI've been around some elephants a few times I could not imagine seeing something like this in person and you know if you're going to clean one you're going to clean a couple I don't see a problem with that but these guys are absolutely beautiful is there anywhere I can think of along with majestic
It would make cloning useful
Dredging…one of the most damaging practices perpetrated by man on the ocean. Call it what it is.
We need see more of Mr Mammoth he really loves his field of Mammoth research 😎😎😎😎😎
I say clone the ones with preserved DNA so we can see what a living mammoth looked and acted like

Fluffy Elephants!!! Dreams do come true ❤❤❤
This documentary just made me want to go and play Dawn of Man again. First time I remember seeing a mammoth in it, it scared the crap out of me and killed a few of my male hunters with one swipe of its trunk. No mammoth meat for that upcoming winter.
Documentary is interesting.😮.
excellent content. mols excitement is inspiring. nothing about mastodons.

I hate dredging as it destroys bottom ecosystems. But I can see how this is useful.

You know it'll be great, amazing nice to see mammoths walking around again, but bringing one back on it's own will be sad cause they all walk in groups cause their family it'll be different if you'd be able to make a female and male, but to be honest It'll be also great finding out why they died to
قناة رائعة
Very interesting
Bring them back, such a beautiful creature... the Earth misses The Mammoths
It would have been very nice if there were still herds of mammoths roaming the tundra of Siberia and Canada
As the planet continues to heat up melting permafrost will yield up many more mysteries.
I SAY, YES, if you do have enough genetic material to successfully grow a mammoth, then by all means do it. Even if, as you say, it would spend it's life in a zoo. And you would not want to see that. Well, the rest of us would like to see it. Especially, for education purposes.
... and, maybe some sexual. Some sexual purposes. Yes, what this weirdo said!
Talks about the smell of mammoth hair, takes a big sniff...then doesn't describe it!...don't just leave us hanging man.
That was mother's pit hair. He sleeps with it at night.
I love the mammoth. I would love to see some....but....can you imagine what the poachers would do to a heard of mammoth!!! We can't protect the elephants we have.
The younger dryess event is what killed the mammoth
Wow. It's so great that they find these fossils when they just happen to have a camera man around to film it.

Simmm.
Pity they only talk about woolly mammoths, and not about the other bigger species, like steppe mammoths ...
My question is; what exactly was their diet? what niche satisfied their dietary needs on the tundra?
Good question! They were herbivores and mostly ate grasses, leaves, berries or fruits.
@@get.factual I understand that. And the doc gave as good an answer as i could find elsewhere.
But pressing the issue a bit, if modern elephants require over 600 lbs of vegetation per day, and tundra grass isnt exactly thick enough for one to "wrap their trunk around", I'm curious if the delicate grasping ability of the tip of the trunk could really collect the amount compared too the lawnmower teeth of more conventional grazers.
Modern elephants wrap their trunks like pythons around large bunches of veg to satisfy their dietary needs; rather than plucking a few blades of grass here and there with the tip.
It makes me wonder if their tusks weren't more involved in the way that wild boars "root up" well....roots.
That said it's a good doc, I'm liking the channel so far, and my silly questions are more musings than a demand for an answer :)
Had had had.
Cool.
I’m just guessing at this, we have a lot of sagebrush and grass in this country .
Florida was huge during that time. Now they are under 300 ft. of water. I missed it
How were all those bones lumped intogether all in one big mud pit....squirell still in its nest mamouth. Horses. Its like a massive flood wiped them into a low spot in a massive river and deposited them all and covered em up. And there they lay for thousands of years....amazing..
Evolution always wins and always found a way so humanity did evolved.
The guy in end was wrong, at least I want to see a living woolly mammoth, if they manage to clone it.
Murrian way, but not urupean
Mammoth tusks were that long and very curved shape, to brush deep snow aside to reach grazing.
I’ve got guitar picks of mammoth ivory. Crazy.
I agree with Sharon
Yummie!
Love the dying cow noise that's qued in every time they say mammoth hahahaha Mooooooooooooooooooo!😂😅
😂
Ahh yes!
Eat your veggies and you are going to grow big.
Its hard to comprehend just how old this planet is...as we live now. In this timeline. Is simply 1 second out of a thosand yearss.
It’s said mammoths would have been difficult to kill but one javelin hurled through the chest wall puncturing a lung and the animal would die, it may have taken days or weeks but that’s not a long time when your getting so much meat.
It would be very helpful if you could include metric conversions for the entire program, especially one as well done as this. Thank-you.
Wow came here after JRE and expected way more people here!
Shame you can’t time travel back to that time.
How about this. Mammoths come from northern Europe and then over time evolved into elephants as they expanded southward into the warmer climates of North Africa. BAM!
NOPE, what you just said is false. Get debunked.
1. Mammoths including the Woolly Mammoth are NOT the ancestor of today’s elephants.
2. They’re only close relatives.
3. What you just brought up is the outdated evolution garbage.
Oh what a beautiful ivory tusk. What are we going to do with it ? I know ; let's put it on a band saw and cut it in half !
Female elephants are no longer being born with tusks. Mama Natures way of protecting herself from savages. She has no tusks so she is free to raise her babies.
Dude, while we're worried about modern ivory, we aren't about fossil ivory.
Found a beautiful huge perfect tusk fishing northern Ontario Canada 30 years ago. I had it for about 20 years and donated it to my old highschool 🦣
unbelievable tusk just popping up like that just happens to be there for her?
Fantástico 💯💯💯😁😁😁🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
