A killer whale?A grisly carcass discovered last week on a New Zealand beach looks like the stuff of nightmares: Its mangled, decomposing body, half buried in sand, measures about 30 feet long; its eyeless head houses gaping jaws bearing a dozen or so pointed, cone-like teeth. Is it prehistoric? Is it a prank? Actually, it's probably an orca.
According to New Zealand's SunLive, the mysterious remains were found by a group of beach-goers near Pukehina on New Zealand's Bay of Plenty. One of the group posted a video of the so-called "monster" to YouTube on April 28, along with this simple query: "Can anyone identify what it is?"

Shouldn't something like that be easily recognisable by teeth alone :/ ?

Re: Expert Sheds Light on Mystery Carcass
Yea that's what I thought, similar teeth, as well as same amount of teeth. And flipper seems like it.
I like when stuff like this happens, not things dying lol, but for that short amount of times its like something unexplained and you just know its totally a sea monster or something.
The world needs monsters =x.
