Every country in the world. Every culture in the world, has their stories of unexplained monsters. Monsters that can be very dangerous to humans, malevolent, nasty. Also of others who are more benevolent, even protective of groups of people they see as under their care. But are these stories merely myths and legends? Or do they in fact, have a basis in reality?

\\n

In this episode we explore a very well known New Zealand monster, called the Taniwha. Even New Zealand children can tell you stories about the Taniwha that inhabit our oceans, our waterways. That dwell in caves high in the back country mountains. We hear people\\\\\'s actual experiences with these beings, historical and recent.... Including one my own mother had as a teenager with a group of friends in the mighty Waikato river.
