The waitoreke is an otter-like creature from the folklore of New Zealand. Described as being the size of a cat, with brown fur and short legs, it is most often seen in or near the water of New Zealand's South Island.
Several people have presented evidence of the waitoreke's existence. German geologist Julius von Haast found a spotted pelt in 1868, which was thought to belong to the waitoreke. Even the legendary explorer Captain James Cook claimed to have encountered the creature in 1772.
