The discovery was made by TikToker @thegoogleearthguy who has amassed a following of 1.1 million users by posting screen recordings of his findings on Google Maps.

Other users sometimes challenge him to find unusual things, including a t-rex and a giant rubber duck in the sea. One request to find a child in a bin was remarkably successful.

They captioned the clip: “i have so many questions on to how he got there.”

One person simply commented: “How the hell?”

Another person wrote: “You can find anything lmao.”

Someone else joked: “Hide and seek be like.”
