Ogopogo or Naitaka "lake demon" is the name given
to a cryptid lake monster reported to live in Okanagan Lake, in British
Columbia, Canada. Ogopogo has been allegedly seen by First Nations people since
the 19th century. The most common description of Ogopogo is a 40 to
50-foot-long (12 to 15 m) sea serpent.
British cryptozoologist Karl Shuker has
categorized the Ogopogo as a 'many hump' variety of lake monster, and suggested
it may be a kind of primitive serpentine whale such as
Basilosaurus. In
1926 a sighting is claimed to have occurred at an Okanagan Mission beach. This
event was supposedly witnessed by about thirty cars of people who all claimed
to have seen the same thing. Most recently, In 2011, a cell phone video
captured two dark shapes in the water. However, because the physical
evidence for the beast is limited to unclear photographs and film, it has also
been suggested that the sightings are misidentifications of common animals,
such as otters,inanimate objects, such as floating logs.
is it real ?
