5 Extinct Animals Caught on Camera & Spotted In Real Life!

5.) Megalodon Caught on Tape

Myths about large, fish like sea monsters are universal to the human conditions. The most well known may be the legend of Leviathan, an ancient and giant fish or whale that ate the Biblical figure Job. While it was traditionally believed that Leviathan had been a whale, the discovery of the ancient and allegedly extinct Megalodon shark led people to believe that, perhaps, the inspiration for Leviathan had originally been a giant shark. While Megalodons are believed to be extinct, only 5% of the ocean has been explored, and everyday biologists discover new species of creatures and even rediscover species previously considered to be extinct. It is not impossible that an evolutionary throwback to the Megalodon may continue to exist. This giant shark was captured by Japanese marine biologists in 2016. The shark is allegedly between 29 and 60 feet long though the close distance between the camera and the shark makes it difficult to be sure.

4.) Tasmanian Tiger Sighting

The tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was a carnivorous marsupial that was indigenous to Australia before it died. It’s also known as the tasmanian wolf, despite having no relation to either wolves or tigers, due to its dog-like appearance and tiger-like stripes. Tasmanian tigers were already rare before British colonists arrived, and believed to have gone extinct on the island of Australia, though the species continued to live on the island of Tasmania from which it gets its name. Due to a combination of overhunting and habitat encroachment, thylacines are believed to have gone extinct in the 1900s, when the last known wild thylacine was killed in 1930, before the last thylacine in captivity died in 1936.

3.) Wooly Mammoth (just use the first part with the mammoth crossing the river)

Wooly Mammoths are believed to have been hunted to extinction by early man during the ice age. While their relatives survived to become the modern day Asian elephant, mammoths themselves are theorized to have been dead for 10,000 years. Some have theorized that Wooly Mammoths continued to live and exist in remote, cold regions where they were both safe from humans and warmer temperatures. They believe that preserved, mummified corpses of mammoths found in these areas might be evidence of this, and there are reported sightings of mammoths in the wild. This video captures one such sighting as a wooly mammoth allegedly attempts to cross an icy river in a forest in Siberia.

2.) Omura’s Whale

The Omura Whale is a recently discovered species of whale that had only originally been discovered in the 2000s by a Japanese researcher. It was discovered through the analysis of DNA found in whale bones at the bottom of the ocean in the 90s. The whale, which had been until then undiscovered, was believed to perhaps be extinct. It was later discovered that the bones belonged to a dwarf fin or pygmy whale that was infrequently seen through Asia.

1.) Dinosaur Captured in Africa

While the rest of the animals on this have lived recently, this animal lived millions of years ago. According to reports, a tribe in the Republic of Congo captured a velociraptor in the jungle, which they proudly put on display. While dinosaurs allegedly went extinct 65 million years ago, some people believe that small populations continued to survive in the deepest, darkest wilderness, away from human contact. These possible survivors are sometimes believed to be the origins of dragons, serpents, and other large monsters in human mythology. It may be possible that something undiscovered and unexplained continues to thrive in the 500 million acres of rainforest in the Congo that inspired Joseph Conrad’s tale Heart of Darkness.

When you see a extremely rare creature
“Gets a old dirty camera, turn its on, and record with no zoom”

[slayer]

the mammoth is a bear with a fish in its mouth.

[AwesomenesJurassic]

"Dinosaur captured in africa"

The dinosaur is photoshoped its supposed to be a cheetah

[katiobrien]

I do believe the Tasmanian Tiger may have survived. There are a LOT of sightings and the extinction is so very recent. Hiding and existing for 60 years is distinctly possible.

[KitschyTravels]

I hope clickbait thumbnails become extinct

[thenerdbeast]

5. that's a sleeper shark
4. That is a fox with mange, the proportions are all wrong.
3. just completely fake
2. possibly true
1. absolutely fake, it doesn't even have feathers!

[minniemouska]

It was not Job who was eaten by a whale it wasJONAH

[breezycheese]

1:18 thats video isnt a megalondon its called a "Greenland Shark" and the last one isnt a velocoraptor (this makes me think that the top 5's finest arent really good with their research)

[cebu]

Sure, and I have a pet unicorn that shits gold nuggets.

[Peepyweepy]

That real! Good job on photoshop! Almost made me believe it!

[olafseverin]

-the "wooly mammout" is a bear with a fish in mouth

[johncase]

#5 was just my pet goldfish I released into the ocean, or I thought it was a goldfish. Should have known something was off when it outgrew the swimming pool. In any case glad to see she's alive and well.

[MrNight-dgug]

Oh I could've been the first view, didn't see when it was published lol!

[GDTeamVolcaniX]

The megalodon and raptor were deemed fake by billschannel, who mind you, does research on his videos, and the mammoth was just a bear with a fish in it's mouth. People just like recording with horrible cameras so it looks like something else. And even if it was a mammoth, it wouldn't be that small.

[OfficiallIcy]

That footage of the shark was actually a Greenland shark.

[bananananananaman]

The wooly mammoth footage is fake, it is actually a bear carrying a large fish (maybe salmon), I've seen that footage before. :|

[thabbott]

I lost all interest when he showed video footage of a Greenland shark for proof of a megalodon and mixed up three different biblical figures.

[izzysantiago]

The Giant Fish or whale that ate the biblical figure Job is incorrect. His Name was Jonah and He was swallowed and vomited out 3 days later.

[danatedawg]

Tbh these videos just come out without doing any actual research. There were many other videos of possible megalodons and that video wasn't even of that shark. The dinosaur was proven to be fake last year, and the wooly mammoth sighting was actually a bear with a long fish

[stormystars]

A friend of mine sent me a few photo's of Tasmanian Wolves. 3, of then, in 2012… they were alive.. He's a Scientist so I trust him about them being real. They looked beautiful.
