Although the existence of this species may be absurd from an evolutionary point of view, there are still many articles and rumors recorded from the local people.

In 1983, zoologist Richard Greenwell and anthropologist Roy Wagner, from the United States, organized an exploration of an 'often seen Ilkai people' area , hoping to discover the mysteries of the sea in legend. . They first thought that the creatures were sea cows (dugong), seals, dolphins, and local people looked wrong.

However, after witnessing firsthand these mysterious creatures chasing small fishes in a bay, Greenwell and Wagner came to the conclusion that Ilkai is truly an unknown species, and the Aborigines know how to distinguish very clear between this sea and other marine mammals. Unfortunately, the remoteness of the area and the lack of funds meant that the team had to abruptly end the expedition, and Papua New Guinnea's seas were still a mystery to this day.
