Antarctic Godzilla (南極ゴジラ, Nankyoku Gojira) is a nickname given to an enormous cryptid sighted by the crew of the Soya, a Japanese research vessel at Lützow-Holm Bay, Antarctica, on February 13, 1958. This massive sea creature has been compared to the fictional Godzilla due to its size and appearance. Its existence was documented in the 1959 book 南極輸送記 ("Antarctic Transport"), by Mitsuji Matsumoto, captain of the Soya.
Biology[]
According to witnesses, this creature is a truly gigantic sea mammal. Its body is covered in hair, and its face has been likened to a cow or monkey with pointed ears. It also has a large saw-shaped dorsal fin.
It's possible that this might be related to, or even the same species as the Ningen.
