The creature, described as a long, large, and ghoulish snake-like form, could be attributed to a natural marine phenomenon. One plausible explanation is the sighting of a large, previously undiscovered marine species, possibly a species of oarfish or another deep-sea creature. Oarfish, known for their elongated bodies, are known to inhabit deep ocean waters and are rarely encountered near the surface.
The sighting captured by the Google Maps user might have been a fleeting moment when the creature ventured closer to the water's surface. The creature's quick fade into obscurity could be explained by the migratory or elusive nature of deep-sea species, making them challenging to spot consistently.
While the Oke Bay Creature's exact size remains unmeasured, the estimates of 75-100 feet or possibly longer align with the characteristics of some large marine species. The lack of additional sightings may be attributed to the vast and largely unexplored nature of the oceans, where such creatures can remain hidden for extended periods.
As for its potential threat to New Zealand inhabitants, the creature's size alone does not necessarily imply aggression or danger. The creature could be a passive filter-feeder or follow migratory patterns that keep it away from populated areas. Efforts to study and monitor the marine environment could contribute to a better understanding of the Oke Bay Creature and its ecological role.
