A giant mystery sea creature is thought to have been spotted in the turquoise waters of one of New Zealand’s most idyllic bays. A huge 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 District of the country's North Island, captured by satellite at about 11.30am on January 30. Engineer Pita Witehira, who spotted the wake while on Google Earth researching for his holiday home, told Daily Mail Australia the wake could have been left by a creature around 12 metres in size.

The Loch Ness Monster decided on a tropical vacation this year.
Man-bear-pig?
I did my best to keep it under the radar!
LOL!
The unusual sighting comes after an aerial photograph appeared to show a giant crab that was at least 50ft-wide lurking in shallow water in England. The incredible image, shared online in October, could soon have visitors flocking to the seaside town of Whistable, in Kent, in the hope of catching Britain's biggest crab. While some insist it is proof of 'Crabzilla', others argue that the shadowy figure is nothing more than an unusually-shaped sandbank - or is simply a playful hoax.
Megalodon!
Later Captain Nemo went back below decks to refresh himself with a glass of the “unusually” flavored Thunderbird wine. Sorry, but after seeing that old Thunderbird Wine commercial on Youtube I will never be able to look at James Mason again without a chuckle.
It’s a boat. Google maps images are composites of multiple photographs, often taken many days apart. So a small boat made the wake (you can just see the very end of the bubbles created by the prop), but the boat itself is off the edge of that pic, and/or is covered by the seam with the picture just to the right, showing the coastline.
In Louisiana, they’d boil that crab and put the shell up on the roof for decoration.
The shell could be the roof.
From Wiki"
"The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is a slow-moving filter feeding shark and the largest known extant fish species. The largest confirmed individual had a length of 12.65 m (41.50 ft) and a weight of more than 21.5 metric tons (47,000 lb), and unconfirmed reports of considerably larger whale sharks exist."
Probably a carp.
The linked article says its estimated size is 39.4 feet.
That’s a BIG carp.
Even Einstein admitted he didn’t know it all. We humans, even really smart biologists, will never know of every species, as we continue to see not at all new things that modern man has never seen before.
"What the hell is that?"
Agree. We may never know for sure what made that wake, either. But it is interesting to speculate.
is clearly a democrat!

I think it’s a view of Michael Moore’s or Chris Christie’s stomach.
Hooked on phonics?
39.4 is pretty good as an “estimate”...
