In 1977, a Japanese fishing trawler hauled up something impossible from the deep waters off the coast of New Zealand. It was over 30 feet long. It had a long neck, four massive flippers, and a tail. It looked exactly like a creature that should have died out with the dinosaurs - a living fossil, pulled dripping from the sea. The crew snapped photos, took measurements, and cut samples from its flesh. Then the captain made a decision that shocked the world: he ordered the monster thrown back into the ocean. The body was gone forever. But what had they actually caught? The answer took decades to uncover, and it's stranger than anyone expected.
