	Unexplained Mysteries :: Waitoreke - new species or castaway ?
		Tony Lucas: New Zealand is believed to have had no mammals when it separated from Gondwana, apart from three species of bats, historical evidence however states that an either otter or beaver like animal may also have been resident here, or been stranded long ago.
		As Natives were residing in the Pickersgill area at the time it may have been one of their dogs Cook viewed, being unfamiliar with the species it is possible Cook misidentified the animal as a new species of mammal native to New Zealand Shores.
		The Kuri is infact not a native of New Zealand, but arrived with the Maori when colonization commenced.The 1840's brought sightings of a beaver-like creature in the Lake Hawera District of the South Island.
