Residents of New Zealand have discovered an unknown mysterious creature on the beach, thrown out by the sea. In attempts to identify the creature, people put forward incredible theories.

According to the British tabloid The Sun, last week a strange picture appeared to the eyes of New Zealanders strolling along the beach: part of a huge carcass was sticking out of the sand.

Coming closer, people examined the skull of a huge creature and its jaw, studded with sharp fangs.

Further examination of the dead inhabitant of the depths of the sea showed that someone or something had torn out a significant part of his entrails from the monster's body.

Curious onlookers were prevented from conducting a more thorough study of the monster by the sand that covered the remains with a dense layer.

Since Pukehina Beach, located southeast of Auckland, is a fairly popular stretch of coast, it is not surprising that the news about the mysterious monster spread like lightning among the townspeople.

Most visitors to the beach tried to capture the amazing beast on the cameras. Elizabeth Ann, who posted her video on YouTube in order to hear the theories of the origin of this creature, was no exception.

According to Elizabeth, the 30-foot (10 meters) mutilated carcass of the sea monster has a huge head, teeth and rudimentary flippers. She also noted that the monster's insides probably suffered from the attack.

"Please help me determine what it is”— the author of the video addressed YouTube users with such a request.

The video and photos 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 was a killer whale or a dolphin, others were inclined to think that the remains resembled either a crocodile or a giant moray eel, others even stated that the pictures were of a prehistoric dinosaur.

Experts also did not ignore the strange find. However, their opinion differed from the point of view of fans of dinosars.

“The structure of the animal's fin suggests that it is a killer whale. Mammals of the dolphin family can often be seen in the waters of the Bay of Plenty," expert Anton van Helden commented on what he saw.

Famous creatures

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.

According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.

Post-mortem changes

Because ordinary people are rarely familiar with the nuances of postmortem changes in organisms, it can often take them for something mystical.

Gray meat flies eat rotting tissue, leaving a sharp edge. This explains the "surgical" removal of organs and parts of the skin. However, such behaviors of the flies many take for the interference of aliens or attacked by unknown creatures.
