Born and raised in New Zealand.Great video.I rather enjoyed it. I do have to admit that I did cringe several times at the pronunciation of some of the the Maori words,so my only criticism would be to please research the language of the country you are talking about so you don't butcher the language and possibly offend anyone.😊

I'm freaking out we have similar mythical and legendary beings here in Australia. Still carry salt to keep safe. interesting and insightful!

[@achry907]

great video ... i think few of these mythical creatures are inspired from real life animals or extinct species ...for eg the Taniwha could actually be the now extinct Megladon or some other large extinct sea creature ...the puakai is may be the extinct Haant,s Eagle which was found in new zealand, the hakaw may be actually the Kia , a species of Parrot still found today in New Zealand ... these are my point of view ... you may disagree

Interesting, from tge shape of mythological creatuees we know how old is the civilization of a race. If starting from shape of light, animal they are the oldest creatures the furst creatures could be trilliuns years old.

Enjoyed this one. Also enjoyed the narration very reminiscent of an Argonian from Elder Scrolls Online.

"Moehau" is a place, the "Moehau Monster" or "Moehau Man" - New Zealand's Bigfoot - has several stories surrounding it's supposed existence. One is that it was an escaped gorilla that swam ashore from the ship of a visiting circus from overseas. Another was that it was a hoax, reported by local weed farmers who wanted to scare people away from discovering their crops😂

[@Ash_the_aviator]

That is not what. Taniwha looks like
