Bangkai ‘raksasa laut’ terdampar di New Zealand

The 30-foot long carcass of the mysterious sea creature is seen almost buried under the sand on the New Zealand beach in the Bay of Plenty. Only its head and what appear to be flippers are visible

The creature's mouth, and skin around it resemble a bizarre prehistoric beast. Other suggestions as to what creature is include a giant moray eel and a saltwater crocodile

The bizarre creature has large, jagged blackened teeth, which experts believe could help identify it as a killer whale

The sea monster found off the coast of New Zealand is said to be around nine metres long. It has large flippers, seen below the head, but the rest of the animal's body had been torn out


Auckland: Tanda tanya menyelubungi penemuan bangkai ‘raksasa laut’ yang ditemui terdampar di New Zealand.

Dengan gigi tajam berbaris dan mulut luas, bangkai haiwan sepanjang kira-kira 10 meter itu ditemui separuh tertanam di dalam pasir di Pantai Pukehina, kira-kira 190 kilometer di tenggara Auckland.

Beberapa teori dikemukakan, termasuk haiwan itu sebenarnya ikan jerung atau buaya air masin, sejenis ikan lumba-lumba atau hidupan prasejarah.

Dalam satu video di YouTube, Elizabeth Ann bertanya sama ada sesiapa mengenali haiwan berkenaan.

Katanya, haiwan berkenaan mempunyai kepala dan gigi besar serta sirip. “Ia mungkin sepanjang sembilan meter, tetapi bahagian bawah badan bangkai ‘raksasa laut’ berkenaan mungkin hilang akibat dibaham oleh sesuatu,” katanya. Sementara itu pakar marin, Anton van Helden menafikan ia adalah bangkai dinosaur kerana sirip yang ada padanya menunjukkan ia adalah ikan paus.

“Ikan jenis itu memang banyak di Bay of Plenty,” katanya ketika ditemui, semalam.
