Pouakai , Poukai , Hokioi , or Hakawai is a Unidentified mysterious animal bird that ate people.According to an account given to Sir George Grey , an early governor of New Zealand,  Poukai were huge black-and-white predators with a red crest and yellow-green tinged wingtips. In some Māori legends, Hokioi kill humans, which could have been possible if the name relates to the Haast's Eagle , given the massive size and strength of the bird which is believed to have hunted Moa weighing up to 300 pounds (140 kg). Such a creature could have very well killed and eaten humans, and it did not become extinct until several hundred years after the arrival of the Māori . A different theory posits that the " Poukai " legends may refer to the New Zealand Snipe – specifically, the extinct South Island subspecies

Popobawa , also Popo Bawa , is the name of an Unidentified mysterious animal, or  shetani , PopoBawa believed by residents to have first appeared on the Tanzanian island of Pemba .

moa were eleven species (in six genera) of flightless birds endemic to New Zealand . The two largest species, Dinornis robustus and Dinornis novaezelandiae , reached about 3.7 m (12 ft) in height with neck outstretched, and weighed about 230 kg (510 lb). moa are members of the order Struthioniformes (or ratites ) although some sources also recognise these as the separate order Dinornithiformes . The eleven species of moa are the only wingless birds, lacking even the vestigial wings which all other ratites have. They were the dominant herbivores in New Zealand forest, shrubland and subalpine ecosystems for thousands of years, and until the arrival of the Māori were hunted only by the Haast's Eagle . All species are generally believed to have become extinct by 1500 AD, mainly due to hunting by Māori.

Cuvier's Beaked Whale ( Ziphius cavirostris )is the Unidentified mysterious animal  most widely distributed of all the beaked whales . It is the only member of the genus Ziphius . Another common name for the species is Goose-beaked Whale on account of the fact that its head is said to be shaped like the beak of a goose . During the Middle Ages, this animal was thought to be a monster with a fish's body and an owl's head. Georges Cuvier first described it in 1823 from part of a skull found in France in 1804.
