Mysterious 30 foot long rotting 'sea monster' with huge teeth found washed up on New Zealand beach.

The strange 30-foot long carcass washed up off the coast of the Bay of Plenty coast in New Zealand after storms in last month.

The coastline is about 120-miles south east from the city of Auckland.

Suggestions as to what the creature could be include a saltwater crocodile, a giant moray eel, a dolphin or a dinosaur.

Photos of the animal have been sent to the New Zealand Department of Conservation and Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium for identification.

Marine mammal expert Anton van Helden rejected all these ideas and told New Zealand's Channel 3 that the creature's fin structure is similar to that of a killer whale.

Killer whales are common in and around Fiji and the Bay of Plenty.

Further tests are being carried out to confirm this theory.

At first I thought it was a baby whale, but I don't think whales have teeth like that, or even teeth at all. Could be a killer whale. I doubt it's a dinosaur, its flesh is too intact.

It'll end up being a Killer Whale or some sort of Toothed Dolphin...

the creature's structure and appearance are more similar to saltwater crocodile than a orca whale.
but my guess is, it's probably some undiscovered mammal from the similar species of crocodiles due to its size.
the teeth and jaw structure are the easiest to determine a mammal; and it's more similar to a crocodile than a orca whale.
but then again, it's odd how a crocodile could wonder that far.
plus, the creature was probably attacked by some other unknown creature in the sea before being washed up to the land - most sea creatures usually attacked creatures they find odd; or weak. I doubt a creature as shown above in the picture can be considered as 'weak'. so, my guess is the creature is some sort of undiscovered mammal.
what bothers me the most is the condition of the creature when the found it - it looked somewhat similar to an animal that lived during the Triassic period.

Not so special. Looks like a shark or a different kind of whale.
