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
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.
I agree. Are you still planning on making a Thylacine video?
@@wildworld6264 Yeah. Currently just in a rough patch when it comes to content creation, so videos might be delayed for a while. I will be interviewing Sharktoz and Creature Challenge soon though, so I'll at least get something out this month.
@CalvinTheCarnotaurus Fair enough. Sharktoz makes great content, looking forward to that interview.
If Colossal is smart... They wait for a population to be found and just claimed it was them... Copying homework on a colossal scale. (Get it?)
Siberia is a big & largely untraveled portion of the world. Pretty much the only easy travel we have through it is by air or by water, and that’s only a few months out of the year. If there ever was a place, they’d be there.
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.
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.
Also believed owning people was okay to mate.
I guess you missed the part of how he has so many African American decendants huh ? 😂 perfect photo for someone so dumb
@@matthew-jy5jpcolonizer mindset
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.
My brother was stationed in Alaska for years. He swears that he saw 4 mamoths while flying over.
Thank you
Yeah, that would be tough to confuse with any other animal local there.
@@toddaulner5393 Dunno, could be a fat squirrel
@@Noqtisor elephants with bad toupees
Gotta be more elusive than Bigfoot then.
Many, many years ago, I remember reading that the bones of pygmy mastadons were found on islands off the coast of California. And that coastal indiginous tribes had tales of how they had been hunted to extinction as part of their oral histories. I forgot the source years ago, but I would love to see you explore this. Great content 👌
My first question would be, "Would a 16th century Cossack actually know what an elephant looked like beyond being huge?
A musk ox, for example, may have been, to an outsider, hairy and elephantine.
In a College Speech Class I did a speech about possible Surviving Mammoths based on the Mammoth chapter in Heuvelmans' book and the MacLean's Magazine story. It was a 5 minute speech and I had over 15 minutes of questions--I got an A on the speech.
That's awesome!
We need a video of Alleged Dinosaur(In-General) Sightings
That’d be fun
Yeah no, that’s stupid, if you wanna find a dinosaur just go birdwatching

@@wildworld6264can you make video exposing Forrest Galante?
Who? A channel just called Truth?
@Mephilis78 yeah,'Truth is Scarier than Fiction'. Great channel, and I highly recommend: m.youtube.com/@Truthisscarierthanfiction
@@wildworld6264 ty man
Nothing quite like opening my UA-cam app, and seeing that beautiful blue border around that thumbnail. Hell yes :)
I've lived in Fairbanks Alaska for 60 years I've heard these stories my whole life
The woolly mammoths closest living relative is the asian elephant not the african elephant.
If I remember correctly, I think Asian elephants are more closely related to mammoths than they are to African elephants.
I don’t know if you’re looking for video recommendations but you should do the topic “how big does it get alligator snapping turtle” there are a lot of stories about giants and some documented so it would be cool to see what you find. Big fan keep up the great work
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.
I`ve seen an 86lb one. We weighed it. Very dangerous, intelligent creatures. I do know they can get much much larger. So can alligators. Lots of strange water creature sightings here in Louisiana. I`ve seen several things I cannot explain.
There are old stories of really outsized turtles popping up long ago. Also giant catfish, nevermind the divers' tales who have seen something around large dams, there are stories of huge catfish surfacing in waters that were severely disturbed by cannon fire in Civil War battles.
Admiral Byrd did a radio or TV interview whereas he flew over the North Pole, and that it was green with lush valleys, with herds of Mammoth running and grazing.
Lies or delusion?
@@jjr2568 idk a part of me hopes that is true. Lol
@@BILLYTHEBATCLEMENTS1 sure you do lol
I wonder if elephants were introduced into a cold environment if they would grow hair like a mammoth. Similar to what happens when hogs go feral.
Let's trow you out there and see if you grow hair. If so, then we can try with an elephant.
Maybe but it would take like 10,000 years
If they survive it long enough for mutations to start showing up.
@@andyhackett1104maybe even longer.
I love Wooly Mammoths and Mastodons 🦣🦣
Great video man!!
What I'm taking from this is there are no mammoths, but possibly an unknown species of giant underground rat. And obviously the reason we haven't found them is because they are underground, industriously digging subway systems and sewers that humans then find and use for new purposes.
Lay off the meth pipe
The giant ground sloth that went extinct around the same time as mammoths do dig holes in the ground, they found some recently in Brazil
Do they take in certain species of amphibians as well, like tarantulas keeping small frogs in a symbiotic relationship?
All nature has bent under the human yolks. I've found alligator burrows truly mammoth sized. Ever hear of 60 degree cuts? Not machine GATOR
I checked to see if you had any new uploads literally two hours ago, it's like magic!
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 sct 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 idolated usland 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.
The trilogy is very good though it is tricky for one to get a copy of the books these days.
There's actually the idea that when people see these animals, they're seeing time anomalies and seeing into the past. Seeing ghosts, if you will.
Great content, and great interpretations of the stories of sightings. Thank you!
I personally would still say humans are the factor behind the mammoth's extinction, since elephants are a key stone species and there destruction of trees prevent savannahs from becoming forest. So, in my oponion, the appearence of forests is a result of the mammoths extinction, not the cause.
I disagree the human population was quite small at the time for one and two mammoths would be incredibly dangerous prey keep in mind modern elephants can be difficult to hunt with modern firearms now imagine trying to hunt Mammoths with spears keep in mind that Woolly Mammoths had thick fat layers that Elephants lack and some species like the Columbian Mammoth were absolutely enormous. Not saying we never hunted Mammoths but I wager it was quite rare and often ended in failure for the humans attempting to hunt them.
@@bennettfender9927 ''At a site in southern Poland that contains bones from over 100 mammoths, stone spear tips have been found embedded in bones, and many stone spear points in the site were damaged from impact against mammoth bones, indicating that mammoths were the major prey for people at the time.''
@@bennettfender9927 Aswell are ivory fugirenes found in Europe.
@@bennettfender9927 They are figurenes made from ivory found in Europe aswell.
@@NatureEnjoyer523 It’s also possible that Mammoths were speared due to attempting to attack people of the time such behavior is often seen today people forget that Elephants have one of the highest kill counts of any animal such attacks would be even more common during ancient times when humans would’ve come into contact with aggressive proboscideans more often. Some of these spear points could be due to hunting attempts don’t get me wrong and some tribes probably hunted Mammoths more often than others but even then these were almost certainly arduous and very dangerous tasks and I guarantee you that bison and caribou were still more often on the menu than Mammoths. Point is I doubt they were hunted enough for it to really contribute to their extinction climate change and disease seems like a more likely factor to me personally.
These videos always hook me in, I really find these creatures interesting and even the movie Ice Age was my first introduction of many animals that are now extinct (mainly the first movie) but also I remember seeing a video about all these stories from indigenous tribes about mammoth (only unsure if it was from actual true tribes but the stories where very interesting like seeing mammoth as scary night monster than just hairy elephants walking around, but also humans hunted them down so I might be just that) great video keep it up 👍
Sorry as a person who grew up on a farm in Africa active in hunting I don't believe it
An elephant is such a large animal that it can't exist for years unseen unless on a remote island somewhere
What would they be eating in Siberia
Bigfoot exists and is huge and yet remains hidden.
@@NewSonRising2024the patterson gilm film 1967 shows a clear video of Bigfoot way before videos and photos could be faked but of course it can be dismissed as a guy in a gorilla suit. Now a clear video or photo of a mammoth in the 1970s couldnt be dismissed by skeptics. A clear photo or video of a mammoth nowadays can be faked.
Love these long videos ❤
Glad you like them!
In 2015 a seismic sensor was destroyed by an unusual large animal stepping on it and crushed it in Alaska. Also Alaskan Natives say they hunted them as recently as 200 years ago and described the Mammoths to white men. Also in the early twentieth century a Native turned in a tusk with flesh and blood still on it, to a trader. A scientist saw huge tracks like elephant tracks in mud less than a hundred years ago in Alaska.
Any sources? VERY Intriguing!
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
that would be a great monsterquest episode talking that mammoths that escaped before the plan on resurrecting them 3 years later
Love your work my friend
It's early morning over here, so I had something interesting to watch at breakfast. Thank you!
Bringing back mammoths should be the lowest on mankind's list of literally burning issues...
Yh good stuff about this subject lol,just started watching a few minutes ago.its only 12:50am where I am lol,Ohio, USA 😁✌️🥃🤟
I hope you had an entertaining breakfast 😊
@@wildworld6264 Indeed it was, thank you.
Seriously now, I do agree with you. People must've stumbled across mammoth remains and, since they look so... well, fresh, must've thought the animal had died recently.
@@alinapopescu872 Yeah, it makes sense. If I was in the same position, I probably would have thought the same.
really good job. Thank you.
The mammoths being attracted to fire detail at 8:00 is pretty interesting. Seems like a detail that could be true.
Because animals in general are attracted to fire? Or wait that is backwards, animals in general avoid fire. Seems like a detail someone made up as a good part of a story.
@supernus8684 it's from a made up story, but it could be true. Elephants sometimes stamp out fires, which is probably where it comes from. I'm more interested I'm the subjects' actual behaviors than the behaviors of journos.
It’s certainly an interesting detail. In Cuba in the zapata swamps we’re the critically endangered and terrestrial adapt Cuban crocodile currently resides. Cuban conservationist have said the Cuban crocodile have walked up to a campfire and was chilling near it, quite cool. Noted for being very inquisitive and for pack hunting behavior which has been reported.
@@jointcerulean3350those are cold-blooded, so it makes sense for it to seek warmth.
Remember in The Chronicles of Narnia when many creatures had to go into hiding
Problem with these early accounts is they could easily have been describing dead remains
BABE WAKE UP!!! WILD WORLD POSTED A NEW VIDEO!!!
Honestly my theory is, that a lot of these, if not most of these sightings of thought to be extinct animals are actually just ghosts or spirits of them really. It would explain why you can't really "find" them, and why you might see them in environments that they wouldn't be suited for.
Except for the fact that ghosts are not part of reality.
I just feel like some of these creatures never really went extinct, but merely went into such good hiding that we humans just presume them to be extinct
They are not that smart! If elephants were that smart to avoid people then elephants would not be endangered species by poachers, sports hunters...
Very good work
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
I've wanted to do a spoof TV series like "Finding Sasquatch" but looking for mammoths across the plains of North and South Dakota, claiming to find footprints etc... it'd be funny af
A species of Eastern Grizzley Bear was found in Quebec and the Maritime Canadian provinces known as the Ungava Bear.
There are also reports of small population of prehistoric North American Horses in Quebec etc. Which is a vast remote wilderness. Anything is possible ,so maybe.
Love the intro. Your stuff keeps getting better. Mammoth's are an interesting case. I'm by no means an expert on them, I imagine them going extinct was because of a multitude of small reasons that, together, had a big impact. It never ceases to surprise me how often people will fake stories about an "extinct" animal they saw. Great video as always pal. Gonna give Truths video a look.
Much appreciated. I'm certainly no expert either, but a multitude of reasons contributing to their extinction certainly sounds plausible.
Here’s just a thought, what if, like ghosts, echoes from the past of animals long gone, thru some cosmic force, can sometimes appear? Maybe they’re ghosts too. Maybe it’s peering thru a portal of time. I do believe credible people when they allege to see them, maybe there’s an explanation we’re not thinking of because it’s outside the realm of what most think to be possible. Just an idea. Love your channel so much brother, can’t wait to see you hit 100K subs. You deserve million’s frankly. God speed mate
Have you ever heard that Wooly mammoths lived in tropical environments? Hair cooled them. So much has been hidden from us. We have to dig deep in ancient writings to get a picture of the truth. Ive read that the North pole used to be tropical before flash frozen when poles shifted. Interesting stuff. Thank for the video
Admiral Byrd also flew over the north pole and wrote a book about that as well as being the admiral in charge of a huge flotilla of naval ships that went to Antarctica because they thought the Germans had established a base there.
very well presented, I was expecting UnchartedX
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!
I live in northern Alaska. And last week my wife and I were hunting when we saw Bigfoot riding a mammoth chasing a ufo. We took pictures but we drop the film and a chupracabra jumped out from nowhere and grabbed the film and ran off. That's when the leprechaun made off with my snowmachine. So we roped a unicorn and rode it back home.
Why didn't you just enter a nearby Stargate and follow them? Think faster next time!
I saw the ghost of Elvis the pelvis 👻
My uncle who owns a couple different mines up in Alaska has fossilized mammoth tusk and a half a leg bone of some kind it’s really amazing to see in real life I have only seen pictures but they’re the real deal
Did he call them the "Stroking-off family"???
If they pulled off cloning mammoths, they wouldn't tell the mass population for safety reasons
You are giving the Smithsonian wayyyy too much credit. They hide everything!
In the movie Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark, towards the end of the movie they had shot of a large room where everything was stored. It was the impression based on other peoples own experience going down to see where many things were kept. And yes, while ILM and its magic made the room to appear enormous for the shot, we really don’t know how many rooms, or floors underground they have, or if they destroyed any other evidence they don’t want us to see.
But thats ok, by the time you reach my age you will start to put the pieces together that what they tell us, and what we find out if we’re paying attention enough, that it doesn’t add up in the frontal lobe.
I could see the Arctic being a refugium for a relict group of mammoths. Large parts of the area are quite remote and would prove to be a great area for mammoths to hide out. They were supposed to have gone extinct 4,000 years ago--not all that long ago in geological terms. But there have been no recent credible sightings as far as I know. So for now, I consider them to be extinct.
Yes, back 100-ish BC but when was the most recent? Some old newspaper articles from Alaska cited them very much more recently. Neat to see them in "Planet Earth 3" wouldn't it?
Okay off topic but what song is playing at 0:59 I recognise it but can’t think where from?
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 👌
Bro one video on beast of gevaudan
The smithsonian is notorious for "losing" things that prove our real history.
Remains of Colombian mammoths found near Castroville California were found to have fur the same color as an Irish setter.
I believe mammoths were still alive until the end of the mini Ice age possible up to the middle ages.
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.
And?
I'd love an infinity battery drone that could just fly over these areas, scanning.
Mate we have satalites
How about a blimp?
If woolly mammoth vocalizations were recorded that would be hard evidence it is alive today. But because none have been recorded that means its impossible there still around.
the admiral byrd tale is actually from his dairy from his son... or that is the original story of where the story came from
Lots of things mega rich do that we don't know about
Of course they are, I regularly feed a few on my daily walk! That's usually right after my Nurse gives me my Medication!
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.
We are told many creatures are extinct. Yet we continue to find them alive and well.
Not true, go find me a pet Tyrannosaurus then 😂
I suppose the chupacabra could be the descendants of thylacines escaped from captivity. That would make a good story.
What about them being modern elephants that just got hairy due to their environment ? Since all mammals have hair lets say some Indian elephants some how ended up in Siberia and they grew longer hair ?
That's would be ridiculous
@@jjr2568 Why do you think so ?
@@Kev4Kev so many reasons lol. How would an elephant end up in a Siberia tundra? How would it survive? How would it grow protective fur against the cold in a short time? It's simply absurd 🤣
@@jjr2568 How would an elephant end up in Siberia; walk the same as humans did.
How would it survive; eating different plants and even possible meat.
How would it grow protective fur against the cold in a short time; I never said anything about a short time. Like all animals and humans we we can adapt to our environments over time like say thousands of years look at how animals on a mainland differ from those on an island. Growing hair is nothing compared to size and or color differences
@@Kev4Kev elephants are way bigger than humans. Someone would have noticed it lol. Why would an elephant migrate thousands of miles from a tropical climate to a barren frozen tundra? And are you implying that they were generations of elephants doing this??? 🤣 man your ignorance is hilarious. Nothing you say makes sense buddy
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?

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.
Could they have adapted to a more omnivore lifestyle? There are cases where cows f.e. ate a small chicken, probably because of malnutrition.
Didn't watch the video, just here to answer the thumbnail question. Not only no but f*** no. That is all.
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?
One contributing factor in the decline of Mammoths was the loss of the mammoth steppe, vast grasslands that sustained the grazing mammoths.
?? Lolwut, who the fuck is going to scour google maps, coordinate by coordinate to search for mammoths. How do you know they arent on there ?? That's an absolutely insane take
And they don't take pictures in real time maybe there was a picture 6 years ago for these remote places. They also edit the pictures smooth them and so on
@@LTPottenger exactly that's like finding a needle In a haystack. Even if someone would find one, it probably won't be there when they go to show someone
I mean they were still around when the Egyptians were building the pyramids
Very Fascinating tales, stories, of possible reports living mammoths. Though it’s quite possible that a woolly mammoth population on the mainland could have persisted even more recently than the wrangle island population perhaps. Also Epic video🔥🦣
And regarding elephants, there were quite a lot of Proboscideans during the Pleistocene. Three current species and three subspecies of Asian elephant.
Man I feel bad for him getting hate
They say Yukon, Canada!!!
But you didn't hear it from me! 😁
16:00 It is worth noting that the Indian Elephants of SE Asia are the closest relatives of "Mammoths." The smaller ears and presence of hair illustrate this. So, if we can ever clone, one of these would be appropriate.
Now that i think of it, wasn't there a black and white picture of a small mammoth taken by a WWII prisoner/photographer? Long before "photoshop"?
Baby Indian elephants can be pretty hairy.
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.
An isolated population of mammoths, if reduced to a point of inter breeding they would soon not be a viable species. Don't you think ?
More possible than you might think due to the vast areas in the north that are very inaccessible many of which no one has ever been to. But probably not. Even plesiosaur is more likely, the main problem there is killer whales would slaughter them on sight.
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. But I hope all you hunters out there think I’m loopy or just full of crap. 😏 some beautiful living beings should be left alone & given freedom to live. Something we all want desperately. Yes?
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.
Canada has stories of them roaming in Frasier Valley
Just a bear crossing a river, not likely, but could be. But perhaps an Indian or Asian Elephant crossing a river which they tend to do.
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.
I thought I saw a Mammoth until I realized it was my mother-in-law.
It would be amazing if mammoths were still alive!
We need to pull a John Hammond and bring back the dinosaurs😂😂
If they are alive man brought them back. I dont think they are still living from back then.
I've seen a couple in the Detroit area. They were in disguise though.
Great vid as usual! I'd agree tho, if mammoths were still around we'd of found them, satellites and thier sensor suites these days are just insane. I'd wager somewhere so cold, the thermal images of a herd of large animals like that would be discernable at the very least
Good point!
The other question though, are those resources being used to scan for animals? I doubt it.
Yes mammoths are still alive
