For 15 minutes in the mid-1990s Migo the Lake Monster of New Guinea, a huge, roiling razor-toothed resident of a volcanic caldera, became internationally famous when its bobbing humps were caught on film by a Japanese documentary crew. Now, Karl Shuker has cataloged the known brushes with the Migo on its home island of New Britain, revealing the shifting scientific consensus on the aquatic beast's identity from living dinosaur to primitive carnivorous whale as researched by progressive biologist Roy P. Mackal. Continuing in
Whatever Happened to the Migo? Revisiting the Monster of Lake Dakataua. Part 2: A Crocodilian Conundrum!, Shuker reveals an exclusive interview with the late Professor Mackal about the second Japanese expedition of 1994 and his subsequent close and revelatory encounter with the Migo. We won't spoil the twist, but the true monster(s) of Lake Dakataua have been made known thanks to Mackal's work, and though he sadly wouldn't live to publish the results of his research, Shuker has ensured Mackal's legacy lives on--unlike the popularity of the poor Migo.
