Mystery of the Pukehina sea creature solved

The mystery of the Pukehina sea creature has finally been solved.  As you may know, much speculation has been going around as to what kind of creature the mysterious corpse was that washed up on a New Zealand beach recently.  Some have speculated it is a sea monster, while others have said it is most likely a Killer Whale or an Orca.  The answer, however, is the Leedsichthys, a giant pachycormid that was believed to have died out in the Middle Jurassic period.

If one compares the image of the creature in the video below, and then compares it to the image of a Leedsichthys, you will see that they are a match.  A photo of what scientists have speculated the Leedsichthys looked like based on skeletons can be found here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leedsichthys.



With the discovery of this fish complete with skin, it proves that dinosaurs did not die out, and are still among us today.

Here is a link to where you can check out different videos of eye-witness testimony of another supposedly extinct dinosaur, the pterodactyl:  http://www.livepterodactyl.com/youtube/

UPDATE:  After showing my wife the above video and comparing it with the artist's rendering found on Wikipedia, I believe what we have here is an adolescent Leedsichthys.  She asked me about the size of the above creature and the size of a full-grown Leedsichthys.  I told her it was about 9 meters.  She asked me how big that was in feet.  I told her about thirty.  She then replied, "So it's an adolescent."
