Meola Creek

Meola Creek is a waterway in Auckland, New Zealand that drains into an estuarine area of the mid-Waitemata Harbour, on a low-lying part of the Auckland isthmus. In June 2006 an Asiatic short-clawed otter called Jin made national news as it escaped from Auckland Zoo by swimming down Meola Creek on an outgoing tide and into the Waitemata Harbour. The fugitive otter was later captured on Motutapu Island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf.
