A YouTube video claims to show an animal alive in the wild that went extinct 4,000 years ago.
Some people said it’s a hoax but others claimed it could be evidence that woolly mammoths are still alive. The video went viral with over 500,000 hits as of Friday morning. Take a look.
The video was obtained by The Sun newspaper in England. It was reportedly shot last year by a Russian government engineer in a desolate, relatively unexplored area of Siberia.
Critics claimed the video is fake because it only runs for 25 seconds and the quality is poor.
If it's true, the video could provide proof that mammoths did not die out four thousand years ago as previously thought.
Experts are now reviewing that video and we will keep you posted on what the final verdict is.
