Cadborosaurus willsi

Cadborosaurus willsi (also caddy) is a sea monster that will happen at the North American Pacific coast.

The essence is local Indians for centuries under the name Hiachuckaluck known. There are also several hundred modern eyewitness accounts, many of which were collected and evaluated by the professor of oceanography Paul H. Le -Blond and colleagues since 1969.

The name derives from the Cadborosaurus Cadboro Bay in Victoria, British Columbia, and the Greek sauros ( " lizard" ) from and was awarded in 1933 by Archie Wills, an editor of the Victoria Daily Times, after sailors on the encounter with a more than 3 meters long snake-like monster had reported. The species name Cadborosaurus willsi was given by Le -Blond and the zoologist Edward L. Bousfield, which interpreted the finding of an approximately 3 m long creature in the stomach of a sperm whale harpooned by 1937 as a sea serpent. Several other carcasses found on the north- west American coast were sometimes mistaken for remains of Cadborosaurus.

Cadborosaurus is described as being up to 15 m long with choppy sea serpent body and dog - or horse -like head. The animal should also have a long neck and tail fin, some descriptions also mention spines on the tail. Striking was further high swimming speed of up to 40 knots.

It has been suggested that a connection between Cadborosaurus and the sea monsters, one of which was reported in several Canadian lakes ( Ogopogo, Manipogo and Igopogo ), could exist which are described as all similar.
