Internet publicity and journalists puzzled a video with a "sea monster" on the shore of New Zealand. The half-decomposed corpse of a nine-meter animal with a lifted mouth and sharp teeth captured a local resident of Elizabeth Anne on the camera and laid out on YouTube, turning to users with the question: “Can someone identify this?” STUFF.co.nz reports.
“This strange marine creature was thrown to the Pukehina Beach beach on the shore of the Plenite Gulf (in the north of New Zealand) as a result of a strong storm. It has a huge head and teeth, as well as rudimentary flippers. It looks about nine meters in length, but perhaps the back of the body is the insides turned out as a result of some kind of attack,” Elizabeth wrote Ann. At the same time, she added that local residents do not yet know what to think about this creature.
The Western press instantly christened the creature of the "deep -sea monster" and the "sea monster" ( The Daily Mail ). YouTube users were divided, most of which is inclined to incredible and even mystical versions.
So, many users expressed the opinion that this is a dinosaur, in particular, a tyrannosaurus or a callus. Others suggested that the “Lokhnesian monster” itself rose from the sea depths, although according to legend, it, as you know, does not live in New Zealand, but in Scotland. Others joked that the video was a cross between Chihuahua and Terrier.
However, the first expert assessments have already disappointed mysticism lovers. As an expert on marine mammals Anton Van Helden to the local New Zealand's Channel 3 television channel, this is most likely an ordinary killer whale. “Judging by the fin, the corpse belongs to the warehouse. Nevertheless, it’s hard for me to say how this animal died,” the scientist said. This is a mammal, known as the "whale-killer", has been seen more than once in the bay, the television channel reports. The waters surrounding the island of Fiji and the Gulf of abundance are the usual habitat of the killer whales.
"It's so boring! It is not a prehistoric animal, as I thought!" - one of the “monster” Loan Lowell Lewis did not hide her disorder. However, the final assessment of the remains of the “deep -sea monster” should be given in the Department of Protection of Nature of New Zealand, where the images for identification were transmitted.
