"I suppose wading through rushing water could mask it but the thing seems to move like an elephant rather than a bear."

I don't think a mammoth would walk a long with its trunk under water. The water is cold, plus it couldn't breathe.

Yes, this is what I thought, too, upon viewing. You don't keep your nose in the water if you can help it. Elephants pick their trunk up in the water, and they move their trunk a lot, too. Their trunk doesn't hang their like a dead fish.
