Easy ! Bear disguised as an elephant, quite common during the bear hunting season I believe !

Possible hoaxes aside, talk recently about genetically re-engineering the wooly mammoth...

... just think of the T-Bones on that thing 😛

it's quite obvious it's in siberia as it seems to be wearing one of those russian furry hats!

Most definitively a Bear with a fish!

You'd really think that cyptozoologists, UFO spotters, ghost-hunters and the like would have figured out how to focus their cameras by now...

Looking at the video, not too sure what that is..

First thought (even before seeing the caption) was Hah its a bear.

But it's an odd vid clip. The animal appears very "static" even when moving - ie not a lot of movement to the body linked to the forward gait. Bears tend to roll at the shoulders / hips?

Also re the shoulders - seem to be very far forward and slope right in to the highly / steeply inclined neck. (Brown) bears tend to have a pronounced shoulder hump. Could be becasue it is carrying something (fish) held high away from the water?

In fact I'd go as far to say its a an old vhs copy of a John West advert.

auto focus is pretty good these days, how is it possible to take such blurry pictures?

Maybe it's the lost pantomime horse from the legendary 1952 "Puss in Boots on Horseback" at Cleckheaton Working Mens' Club ? Thunderstorm caused many of the animal cast to bolt and the horse was never recovered.

I could forgive the dodgy focus - this is the middle of the siberian wilderness - you're never sure if your camera is not going to be damp/functioning properly. As mentioned above the gait is a bit elephant-like but the bottom of the body of "it" seems to get a bit misty as it reaches the water, which is odd.

the water doesn't flow around it very convincingly.. and it's definitely a Capybara with a hoover attachment.. or a bad Snuffleupagus impersonator..

If only they'd kept filming for another 10 seconds so we could see it coming out of the water....

to be fair, if it was a snuffleupagus I wouldn't fancy being on the same riverbank - looks like it's got quite an amorous nature

😀 I love the idea of old russian greats roaming the great siberian wastelands.
