I just subscribed, not sure how long ago that video was made, the situation is getting worse. Look up funeral directors, embalmers and unusual blood clots for starters. Great job shearing the truth !
Canada is one big chilled wilderness,it would be possible that some mammoths couldve survived.Tho I would argue an animal of such massive size that travels in groups wouldnt hide so well.
All of these creatures are EXTINCT! But the fact that they once walked the earth is a wondrous thing. We do know that man is the reason for alot of these animals demise.And I'm absolutely sure if a mammoth was still around someone would shoot him!
The biggest wolves come from that region as well with giant males reportedly knocking on the door of almost 200 lbs. The North American Lion was believed reached sizes from 750 to almost 1000 pounds for big males. Reports of Dinosaurs also on the West slope of the McKenzie Mountains in the Yukon.
I saw a 2000 lb 12 foot tall grizzly bear at Space Farms in NJ in the 1980s. His name was Goliath. He’s still there, but he’s stuffed now. He was alive when I saw him.
7:03 I'm surprised you completely glossed over the Giant Beaver part, as there actually was a Giant Beaver-like animal known as Castoroides that roamed the waterways of North America During the last ice age...
Stories of mammoths arent completely far fetched since apparently a small colony of them may have lasted into almost the turn of the century on a small island near syberia. In fact in syberia theres still a big industry for the locals in syberia based around the collection of mammoth tusks some of which still have bits of flesh attached that were frozen for a long time.
Hell yeah, this stuff is so much better the the lies of Ancient aliens, more entertaining and I think the videos are better done. The subject is much better researched that I can guarantee lol. Thanks man so glad to see another video from you.
Hell yeah brother. If you ever want to lookup something cool, Wally Wallington. He's a contractor from Michigan who has made some very interesting observations and done some experimental archeology on megalithic construction. Particularly how stonehenge was built. Levers, counterweights, and inclines. Also egyptian stone core drilling. Crazy cool stuff.
Yes some of these dates I mean the chances of us finding stuff that's just millions of years old and organic AND STILL IN ITS SAME FORM has got to be pretty rare. It would not surprise me if there were descendants of what were Mamas and mastodons still existed in the North and were eventually devoured by man because of European expansion. that would not surprise me one bit if we learn that to be a truth tomorrow.
Modern animals no longer have the same access to resources as 100-300 years ago. It's feasible that they could reach massive proportions with the right nutrition.
Well, the dragonflies were a lot farther back in time, so they aren't relevant here. But less human disturbance could also account for oversized mammals in recent history. Hunters tend to pick off the largest males of a given species, creating a situation where smaller males get better access to mating rights and pass on their genes to make the species's average size decrease. So bears and moose legitimately might have been bigger a few centuries back than they are today.
@@JAGzilla-ur3lh you know natural predation from wolves and such count way more then humans do. You look at the numbers you can see that. Also hmm deer in Indiana have all the food they could ever want with out starvation. I couldn't number the people I know who spend lots of money planting and maintaining food crops for deer. Mineral and salt blocks. I watched 4 farms hunt one really nice size buck this year. Everyone of them put out and fertilized food crops, mineral blocks. Oh noone got the big guy. Saw him running across the field last week. Funny how humans are blamed for every thing even though its absurdly stupid. What I'm also trying to point out is dragon Flys matter because environmental changes make the number and size of things like a 1 ft wing span impossible today. Like the large long neck dinosaurs would not be able to live or even function at that size today. Oxygen isn't high enough it would pass out by raising its head.
@@vikingskuld Food is not the only resource for animals. And it certainly isn't based on just 1 species, it's the whole ecosystem. There are many factors that affect an animal's growth.
@@MaliciousMollusc yes but what did you say? Large growth with high nutrition??? Is that not food I know I may biasing some thing here but I don't care how good your genetics are with out proper amounts of food and nutrition you don't have squat. For a different species like oh say elephants and island dwarfism like in south east Asia where they found elephant skeletons a few foot tall that were mature and even into old age. There is not only a different species for ya but some thing else to consider
@@57strub The legit record is a 12 foot span approximately, think for a minute how heavy that would be, I know how heavy a normal rack is that is half that size, many are probably telling the truth.
@@deanfirnatine7814 12 foot span for a moose? You are what I was saying about people being misinformed or to put it bluntly, lied to. Do some legitimate research. The only member of the deer family that ever had that spread is the extinct Irish Elk.
@@57strubHow would you know? This came from a pastor I did mission work with up there and even his wife said they were bigger much larger than normal moose.
@@northwestolympics1683 Sounds like believing in fantasies isn't a new thing. People have flown planes into all of that country. Wouldn't be difficult to strap 12 foot antlers to a float plane and show the world. Not saying the moose aren't bigger, just not close to that size. World record moose is only 75 inches. 12 feet horns would be 144 inches. Try again.
The idea of giant moose reminds me more of Cervalces (the “stag-moose”) found in North America than it does the Irish elk. Irish elk were extremely gracile and way more like a fallow deer, whereas Cervalces was basically a huge moose. The huge bear could be a late Pleistocene grizzly, as short-faced bears were much lankier than a normal bear, looking more like a bear on stilts with a squished head. Finally, the big cat if it exists is almost certainly an American lion or a cave lion (two closely related albeit separate species). The Smilodon, or saber-toothed cat was not actually that big (or at least the North American species wasn’t), being similar in size to a lioness. American lions on the other hand are arguably the largest cat to have ever lived and cave lions were bigger than modern African lions (similar in size to a tiger) so those two fit better. In addition, Smilodon was not found very far north, similarly to dire wolves they were not well adapted to the cold and hence didn’t go much further than southern Canada
They could be hybrids or mutations of the ordinary versions ,these would act more aggressively and would look different in appearance from the more common variety. wild animals if not hunted or early death ,can grow to really big sizes ...
It’s possible they’re larger than average, lions in certain areas of the Okavango Delta in Africa are larger to kill different prey than they normally target, so it is possible, although that far north you also have to worry about finding enough food to suit a larger body size. The ideas for hybrids should generally be disregarded. Most hybrids are infertile, such as ligers or mules, and for species like moose, they don’t really have any close relatives they could interbreed with anyway
You’re correct. Kinda. Female hybrids can be fertile sometimes, as with ligers and tigons, allowing for back crossing to their parent species. However, male ligers and tigons are not fertile, thus not allowing for a population of hybrid ligers or tigons to persist
Thank you, again. Really enjoy listening. Good to Canadian Authors out & about. Plan on getting your book, on the Nahanni Valley. I already have 2 others, read through part of one, but saving them when I go camping. :) I one day want to travel up to Nahanni do some hiking, exploring. Thank you again..
@@deanfirnatine7814 I new about Nahanni before the books. The more you know the better, I've been as far as Fort Nelsen & Rainbow Lake. There is so much in Canada, such a rich history, stories usually hand down for reason. Take Frank Slide, Native man before the slide did warn people said not to settle there for it is a Moving Mountain. Well we all know the story. Hammerson has one on the Thunder Bird expedition done in the 60's I believe. They mentioned big Ravens.. Well when I worked in Fort Mac, most of the Raven were close to 2-3 feet in height, I personally seen one on Aurora sight that was 4 feet in height. When I saw it the first thing I though was this is were they get the stories of birds carrying babies away. I'm a big guy & I was unnerved at the size of him. Funny thing is I tell people some of these things they don't believe it. I though I was seeing things, this was 2005. They had a name for him on sight, this last summer @ Nordegg I seen a Spider that was bigger than my hand, Tarantula size. I was dumbfounded I never though they got that big here, due to winter. Seen Bears as big as small car, some bigger, one Grizzly was on the bank of the Sask River out by Rocky Mountain House. The amount of things I have seen & experience in the woods, even in the city & town areas, I never go anywhere with out at least a knife. Coyotes have been breeding with dogs & wolves, some of the ones I have seen in city limits are getting as big as German Shepard s, some still small. Was hiking in Sherwood Park last year in town, there was big Coyote right in the area, seen him many times. One of the people in the neighborhood put up a sign on the back of his truck warning the elementary school near there of its presents. The way I look at it is some might be embellished over the years, but there is always something that might give you warning if you run into similar situations. I know your joking/ Hammerson, I like the content, & his writing style. I have always been a big on audio listening, while working at something, Coast AM, for many years. So I find it refreshing to hear Canadian Authors, with Canadian content, I'm as ignorant as the next Canadian as far as our culture, being raised on the USA respective via TV, Movies.
Just found this channel earlier this week I’m already almost through every video. Hopefully watching them won’t spoil the books for me too much. This channel is a hidden gem thanks very much for all of this great content.
@@LordFoxxyFoxington everything tbh man but something that really stands out to me is that there is so many valuable resources / precious metals such as gold and silver and yet it remains mostly untouched by humans.. so that’s how you know it’s a dangerous place. People know better than to mess with forces they don’t understand
I seen a grizzly bear that was at least 15 (probably more because his hands nearly reached us and we were not flying any lower than 25 feet) on the Alaska Yukon border around the Arctic Circle Line, it was a remote Valley with a microclimate across on the other side of Eagle planes from where the Dempster runs, never seen anything else alive in that Valley and when we came upon the grizzly he stood up and nearly grabbed our helicopter. That short faced bear looks a lot like the bugger I saw
@@jackstraw4222 Kodiacs can exceed 2000 lbs. They're normally pretty big. Only two things stop them from getting bigger; other bears and bullets. Isolation has neither.
There's a stuffed standing Kodiak bear in a saloon in Anchorage Alaska that is 12 feet tall from head to foot, with no stretching. If you add the length of the front legs reaching up, in total it's over 18 feet tall
Speaking of Native American legends and giant beavers, there is one tale here Coyote the trickster must battle beaver, who eats a whale in a single bite. It hadn't occurred to me they might have been about ancient giant beavers.
Love your videos Hammerson! I love to listen when I jump into bed and you read me a bedtime story. lol. I was wondering how many people come up missing in Canada hunting, camping, fishing, exploring? Like here in the U.S., missing 411 by David Pualides of mysterious disappearances and they are almost never ever seen again. Thank you for the excellent quality of work you and your team does. Cheers from Michigan USA!
@@HammersonPeters Have you heard of the earwax theory of oak island? It's horseshit I just made up while scratching my ass... so I expect about 50 vids on it get to work.
I heard this crazy story that took place somewhere around Frenchman lakes area, Ghost lake to be exact. I knew this old elder in Carmacks named Wilfred, he passed now, he was a character. I dont know if its true but people and him told me at one point in my life. Story goes... Wilfred was hunting with two white hunters in or around Ghostlake. They saw something huge on the frozen lake, it looked like a giant bear, Wilfred called them Beaver Killers, they are big enough with the claws to flip beaver dams and get the beavers. It saw them on the shore and started toward them. So startled the white dudes started shooting at it as did Wilfred. They emptied shells into it and he said it was still slowly working its way toward them. As it started getting closer and they running out of shells that thing fell through the ice and supposedly drowned. I guess Wilfred was famous around here and lots of white people went to him for adventures and so on. He was a character, he was of northern tatchone, like me. My best friend was grandson to him so I saw Wilfred alot in my youth.
More context, Carmacks Yukon and I am 33 years old now. My grandma and grandpa told me a few stories as did other elders in my native language class. I was probably the only kid in school who rented out ufo and bigfoot books from the library. Wilfred died like 15 years ago when I was a late teen.
Just started listening to this channel a couple of months ago, but I've went back and listened to the older ones while waiting for the next. I only have 4 that I listen to and I'm loving this. The delivery is spot on and the stories are factual and I can almost feel like I'm right there where the story is coming from.
I just love the feel of these videos, the work put into the imagery and the music is very good. How could that person draw a dinosaur?! That's not a small thing to be able to do, you have to know what they look like! That means they saw one right? Even if they saw one briefly released from ice or whatever, you can't tell me it's flesh lasted tens of millions of years for someone to see.. Someone is lying about extinction timelines.

A full chapter on the inherited chest freezer in my garage... I found mystery mammal steaks in the bottom wrapped in newspaper from the 60's. Hell yes I ate it.
Cree stories, in the plains & woodlands still talk about a time when these monsters roamed around, some or this one that I heard about had huge disks on its back with a spiked tail, small face & this creature used to eat people & small plants. They died when our helpers brought down a rock to destroy them. Most of them didn’t die of course but the most of who survived were caught were turned into stone.

There are several videos about the Nahanni Valley. The claims that some animals long thought to be extinct are living can't be completely ruled out. It's a vast mostly unexplored area. Has anyone climbed up into and explored the caves above the river? It's said less than 1,000 people visit each year. Other sources state the RCMP have closed sections of this park. It makes sense, to me anyway, that the possibility of living specimens exist in the inner regions. I am fascinated by all of these stories. I wonder if you have actually gone there or just wrote your book based on info gleaned in other books or online?
Would you please put a localized map of the area you are talking about. It would be a great help to know the area being discussed and I'm a geographer as well and love good map reference with the story.
@@HammersonPeters I'm sure I will. Because of the Covid restrictions on travel, I plan to investigate more Canadian cryptids. NW Canada is on my list, in particular the Nahanni Valley. I would like to discuss it with you sometime, if possible.
Plant eater or carnivore any one of those creatures you better show respect. My God a short faced bear or an American lion? Solitary too. Short faced bear 2200 lb legitimately 2,200 lb and 10 ft tall 12 ft tall American lion a lean 700 lb? I just can't imagine how explosive that creature must have been. and a short face bear is just moving you off anything you have. That creature was just so big that if it came around you're giving it up.
As a Native Alaskan, I highly doubt any mammoth-like creatures exist today. Planes fly all over the entire state year round and one would have been spotted a long time ago if that were the case. I find it hard to believe that they could still be alive even in the early 19th and 20th century.
Probably true but the Nahanni is so remote and unvisited it makes 90% of Alaska look urban. We thought mammoths went extinct over 10,000 years ago for generations then they discovered the last isolated mammoths died out just around 4000 years ago so when the last mammoth we know of died the giant Newgrange Monument in Ireland was a 1000 years old to put it in perspective.
@@deanfirnatine7814 I'm from the Yukon my wife is indigenous Kaska Dene and her family has trap lines and hunting camps in the Nahanni Valley. it's as remote as most of Alaska is.

Only two things stop them from getting bigger; other bears and bullets.
Isolation has neither.
There's a stuffed standing Kodiak bear in a saloon in Anchorage Alaska that is 12 feet tall from head to foot, with no stretching. If you add the length of the front legs reaching up, in total it's over 18 feet tall

If there are spiders as big as a grizzly, i want off this planet.
Me. Too.
If there are spiders as big as a grizzly, no one would be safe.
@@derekbates4316 which i why i want off this planet
@@RandomTrinidadian No, I mean we'd already be dead, b'cuz there's nowhere we could that they wouldn't be.
Who knew that Skull Island was in northwestern Canada? And not an island?
Speaking of Native American legends and giant beavers, there is one tale here Coyote the trickster must battle beaver, who eats a whale in a single bite. It hadn't occurred to me they might have been about ancient giant beavers.
Its crazy that their was such things as “Giant Beavers” You gotta search em up size of black bears
@@I_Love_TRUMP , too true.
Wow Thanks Mr Peters, I am definitely getting your book in the near future!
Just watched the giant river serpent.👌
Now this one. Thanks for sharing.
Was just working here and was wondering about the lore behind the area. Definitely want to go back. That place is intriguing.
Cool stuff. I might have to look into some of the mentioned books.
The last couple docks have been absolutely fantastic....good work!!!!!
We are planning a trip to the Nahanni next spring .One last great adventure .
Hammerson (Son of Hammer) is got to be the coolest forename name ive ever heard.
.458 Win Mag is nafural for Alaska guides and hunters after big bear and moose, and good combination it is for many uses amd situations.
Thanks for this one Peters...... Love the mysteries the Nahanni holds....
Definitely one of the best channels on youtube!
I love this channel, the stories and your book!
yea im gonna buy the book right now ,there to much interesting reports iv never heard of ....
God only knows what could still be alive in those uncharted mountains and valley. I believe this is a better theory than ancient aliens.
Love your videos Hammerson! I love to listen when I jump into bed and you read me a bedtime story. lol. I was wondering how many people come up missing in Canada hunting, camping, fishing, exploring? Like here in the U.S., missing 411 by David Pualides of mysterious disappearances and they are almost never ever seen again. Thank you for the excellent quality of work you and your team does. Cheers from Michigan USA!
Thanks for the kind words! I’m actually working on a big ‘Missing 411’ video that I’m really excited about.
@@HammersonPeters Have you heard of the earwax theory of oak island? It's horseshit I just made up while scratching my ass... so I expect about 50 vids on it get to work.
@@TheShadowInTheMask An earresistible proposal.
@@HammersonPeters lol touche
@@TheShadowInTheMask Uncalled for, dude.
I heard this crazy story that took place somewhere around Frenchman lakes area, Ghost lake to be exact. I knew this old elder in Carmacks named Wilfred, he passed now, he was a character. I dont know if its true but people and him told me at one point in my life. Story goes...
Wilfred was hunting with two white hunters in or around Ghostlake. They saw something huge on the frozen lake, it looked like a giant bear, Wilfred called them Beaver Killers, they are big enough with the claws to flip beaver dams and get the beavers. It saw them on the shore and started toward them. So startled the white dudes started shooting at it as did Wilfred. They emptied shells into it and he said it was still slowly working its way toward them. As it started getting closer and they running out of shells that thing fell through the ice and supposedly drowned.
I guess Wilfred was famous around here and lots of white people went to him for adventures and so on. He was a character, he was of northern tatchone, like me.
My best friend was grandson to him so I saw Wilfred alot in my youth.
More context, Carmacks Yukon and I am 33 years old now. My grandma and grandpa told me a few stories as did other elders in my native language class. I was probably the only kid in school who rented out ufo and bigfoot books from the library. Wilfred died like 15 years ago when I was a late teen.
That’s amazing! Very spooky. Thanks for sharing.
Just started listening to this channel a couple of months ago, but I've went back and listened to the older ones while waiting for the next. I only have 4 that I listen to and I'm loving this. The delivery is spot on and the stories are factual and I can almost feel like I'm right there where the story is coming from.
I just love the feel of these videos, the work put into the imagery and the music is very good. How could that person draw a dinosaur?! That's not a small thing to be able to do, you have to know what they look like! That means they saw one right? Even if they saw one briefly released from ice or whatever, you can't tell me it's flesh lasted tens of millions of years for someone to see.. Someone is lying about extinction timelines.
From Borneo.. Agree..
First time seeing your vids.. I am liking you and your crews work so many get a subscription
This has a history/ discovery Channel special all over it. You need to pitch a show. You can even throw me a royalty share!.....lol good stuff
Love this video so nice to see ones in Canada .. that thanks so much you have my subscription
*Beaver slaps water* .. me : yooooo bro.. sick. novelty wave.. get the surfboard.
Surfins gonna be goooooddddd
I've always wanted to visit Canada & Alaska.
Now, more so.
(From Australia)
This is fascinating. I am currently preparing a YT video for my channel on giant spiders world-wide. Your mention of them here will be a most welcome addition. I have subscribed to you channel and will most assuredly buy your book!
Nahanni Valley is my now most must visit place
Love the storys thanks for sharing.
10:38 the creature drawn in the river mud is a gomphothere
Can you imagine if someone made a fictional movie where there we’re actually prehistoric creatures in the Nahanni valley?

I bought your book. Ty
Thanks so much for your patronage! I hope you enjoy it.
Terrific chronicling. Also very well narrated. I really enjoy your economical selection of relevant details and your talent for moving along to the next installment under a specific subject before the reader can become weary of one story. And bravo for providing the names and works of cited authors rather than spewing tripe like "one writer even claims..." Great book. Makes me want to balloon over the Nahanni.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the book.
The earth tilt is a theory of the prehistoric plants under the glacier ice. Taking a once warm tropical climate to frozen artifacts. Thank you.
Fascinating! I'm going to have to read your book.
Things possibly left over from the Miocene or Pleistiocene.. MY KINDA stories!! I loved it!
I'm so glad to have watched this video-awesome.Wish I'd watched it sooner!
Defo be purchasing your book when funds&time allow,cheers m8.
☮💚🖖Ian from🏴
A full chapter on the inherited chest freezer in my garage... I found mystery mammal steaks in the bottom wrapped in newspaper from the 60's.
Hell yes I ate it.
As a Dene, thanks you for this. This is badass stuff.
i really like this kind of want more
The more you talk about this place the more want to go
Very impressive tales !
Cree stories, in the plains & woodlands still talk about a time when these monsters roamed around, some or this one that I heard about had huge disks on its back with a spiked tail, small face & this creature used to eat people & small plants.
They died when our helpers brought down a rock to destroy them. Most of them didn’t die of course but the most of who survived were caught were turned into stone.
Sounds like the Cree version of the KT impact event.
very good info that we need
Glad I found your Channel , now I have one more quality source to add to my Arsenal.
* David paulides,
* sasquatch chronicles with Wes,
* Linda moultonhowe,
AND NOW YOUR CHANNEL, Of course with a little Coast-to-Coast etc.. Sprinkled in their.
Please do more like this
There are several videos about the Nahanni Valley. The claims that some animals long thought to be extinct are living can't be completely ruled out. It's a vast mostly unexplored area. Has anyone climbed up into and explored the caves above the river? It's said less than 1,000 people visit each year. Other sources state the RCMP have closed sections of this park. It makes sense, to me anyway, that the possibility of living specimens exist in the inner regions. I am fascinated by all of these stories. I wonder if you have actually gone there or just wrote your book based on info gleaned in other books or online?
Great video thank you for posting it.
I believe those Dino’s and mammoths are still around just in the most furthest stretches of the earth
Cheers🥂, entertaining, well written, solid Editing, w/ a sprinkle of mysterious happenings of the Great White North❔Yes Plz‼️👍🏻👍🏻
Would you please put a localized map of the area you are talking about. It would be a great help to know the area being discussed and I'm a geographer as well and love good map reference with the story.
You can find a map of the Nahanni Valley in this article (about 1/3 of the way down): mysteriesofcanada.com/quebec/nakani-the-wildman-of-the-north/
Just ordered your book.
Thanks so much for your patronage! I hope you love it.
@@HammersonPeters I'm sure I will. Because of the Covid restrictions on travel, I plan to investigate more Canadian cryptids. NW Canada is on my list, in particular the Nahanni Valley. I would like to discuss it with you sometime, if possible.
Very interesting 👋
Incredible !
The giant beaver was a real creature that went extinct
Hopefully this will make this shitty day better.
Plant eater or carnivore any one of those creatures you better show respect. My God a short faced bear or an American lion? Solitary too. Short faced bear 2200 lb legitimately 2,200 lb and 10 ft tall 12 ft tall American lion a lean 700 lb? I just can't imagine how explosive that creature must have been. and a short face bear is just moving you off anything you have. That creature was just so big that if it came around you're giving it up.
In my BEST Gary Busey voice: ... "He's on Safari. The giant Moose...The Mammoth...The short Faced Bear... Oooh my. "
Excellent work. You make me want to go to the valley and explore. You have found an amazing jem of a mysterious place.
I'm getting Turok vibes from listening to this.
I would want to build cabin in the most remote area of nahanni and Live there.
Just ordered the book.
Thank you so much for your patronage! I hope you enjoy it.
I guess the lion also had an Enemy ...’time’
Awesome Video! Very informative!
Awesome!
As a Native Alaskan, I highly doubt any mammoth-like creatures exist today. Planes fly all over the entire state year round and one would have been spotted a long time ago if that were the case. I find it hard to believe that they could still be alive even in the early 19th and 20th century.
Probably true but the Nahanni is so remote and unvisited it makes 90% of Alaska look urban. We thought mammoths went extinct over 10,000 years ago for generations then they discovered the last isolated mammoths died out just around 4000 years ago so when the last mammoth we know of died the giant Newgrange Monument in Ireland was a 1000 years old to put it in perspective.
What’s about Sasquatch or Dogmen there?
@@deanfirnatine7814 I'm from the Yukon my wife is indigenous Kaska Dene and her family has trap lines and hunting camps in the Nahanni Valley. it's as remote as most of Alaska is.
How did such a place stay so hidden for so long. This remote, mysterious place.
I am not from Missouri, but you still must show me some gigantic bones, huge tusks, or at least some convincing photos !
So it’s Journey to the center of the earth
