Tales Of Living Mammoths: Kind Of A Big Deal

It sometimes seems the human need to believe in unspoiled wildernesses full of large, overlooked creatures knows no bounds! And it feels like there's hardly an 'impossible' animal that doesn't have some folkloric core of supposed 'real life' sightings. And so it is with the woolly mammoth. At the cabin in the woods, Cian nurses a beer and investigates an almost-forgotten tale: the legend of the living mammoth of Siberia. This case is going to take a deep trek into the musty wilderness of the cabin's library: childhood monsters books, 1950s cryptozoology tomes and of course, 19th century hoax newspaper stories. It's a fine example of how myth and reality blend over the years to create a legend. This episode: TALES OF LIVING MAMMOTHS: KIND OF A BIG DEAL.
