Residents of New Zealand found an unknown monster on the beach, thrown out by the sea. In attempts to identify the creature, people put forward incredible theories.
Last week, New Zealanders strolling along the beach saw a strange sight: part of a huge carcass stuck out of the sand. Coming closer, people examined the skull of a huge creature and its jaw, dotted with sharp fangs. Further examination of the dead inhabitant of the deep sea showed that someone or something had ripped out a significant part of its entrails from the body of the monster.
A more thorough study of the monster was prevented by curious onlookers with sand, which covered the remains with a dense layer. Since Pukehina Beach, located southeast of Auckland, is a fairly popular stretch of coastline, it is not surprising that the news of the mysterious monster spread with lightning speed among the townspeople.
Most of the beach goers tried to capture the amazing animal on their cameras. Elizabeth Ann was no exception, who posted her video on YouTube in order to hear theories about the origin of this creature.
According to Elizabeth, the 30-foot (10 meters) mutilated carcass of the sea monster has an enormous head, teeth and vestigial flippers. She also noted that the monster's insides were likely damaged by the attack.
“Please help to determine what it is,” the author of the video asked YouTube users with such a request. The video and photographs that appeared in the media gave rise to a guessing game: local residents and interested viewers began to offer a variety of theories.

Some suggested that the toothy monster is a killer whale or a dolphin, others were inclined to think that the remains resemble either a crocodile or a giant moray eel, and still others said that there was a prehistoric dinosaur in the pictures.
Specialists also paid attention to the strange find. True, their opinion was different from the point of view of dinosaur lovers.
“The structure of the animal's fin suggests that it is a killer whale. Dolphin mammals can often be seen in the Bay of Plenty,”commented expert Anton van Helden.
