North America has Bigfoot, the Himalayas have the Yeti and Fiordland has the moose.
Moose were let loose into Fiordland National Park in 1910 but sightings of them have been rare since - the last photograph of one was taken in 1952.
That's not for lack of trying - a few dedicated moose trackers have been on their trail since the 1970s.
Now though, a helicopter pilot says he's spied one.
Ben Young is a pilot for Southern Lakes Helicopters and swears he's not sending people on a wild moose chase.
