Too big to be a shark and too 急速な/放蕩な for a 鯨... So what is the mystery creature 逮捕(する)d by Google Earth off the coast of New Zealand?

  • Engineer Pita Witehira spotted a large unexplained wake about a week ago
  • He was looking at Oke Bay, in the Bay of Islands, an area on the east coast of the Far North 地区 of New Zealand's North Island
  • It wasn't 原因(となる)d by a boat because there is no white 泡,激怒すること from a モーター?
  • Mr Witehira also doesn't think a shark or 鯨 could have 原因(となる)d it

A 巨大(な) mystery sea creature is thought to have been spotted in the turquoise waters of one of New Zealand’s most idyllic bays.?

A 抱擁する unexplained wake can be seen in a Google Earth image of Oke Bay, in the Bay of Islands, an area on the east coast of the Far North 地区 of the country's North Island, 逮捕(する)d by 衛星 at about 11.30am on January 30.

Mr Witehira, from Hamilton, New Zealand, said: ‘The Native Maori would call this a "Taniwha" ('Troll') as it appears not to be a 鯨 and it is far too big to be a shark. It is moving too 急速な/放蕩な and turning too はっきりと to be a 鯨.’

Mr Witehira also 支配するd out that a boat was the 原因(となる) of the wake because there is no white froth like normal wakes created by モーターs.

‘I spotted it about a week ago. We have some 所有物/資産/財産 近づく Oke Bay and I’m about to build a beach chalet up there, I zoomed 負かす/撃墜する and 設立する that,’ he said.

‘It’s way too wide for a shark and way too long… It’s got to have a lot of 負わせる under the water to create that 肉親,親類d of drag.’

When compared to the white wake that a motoriesd boat in the area makes it is clear to see they are very different

Oke Bay has a やめる white sand beach and the water stays shallow for around 40 metres ‘with a sudden 深い 減少(する) into the bay’.

‘There is a lot of undergrowth in the deeper parts of the Bay,’ Mr Witehira explained.

The unusual sighting comes after an 空中の photograph appeared to show a 巨大(な) crab that was at least 50ft-wide lurking in shallow water in England.

The incredible image, 株d online in October, could soon have 訪問者s flocking to the seaside town of Whistable, in Kent, in the hope of catching Britain's biggest crab.?

While some 主張する it is proof of 'Crabzilla', others argue that the shadowy 人物/姿/数字 is nothing more than an 異常に-形態/調整d sandbank - or is 簡単に a playful hoax.?
