Ogopogo
For hundreds of years the strange creature reported in Lake Okanagan
has mystified residents and travelers. Most researchers consider
the creature to be a Basilosaurus or Zeuglodon- a beast that was
thought to have died out about two million years ago. Roy P. Mackal,
working with about two hundred reports collected by Mary Moon, has
created a description of the creature. In most ways, his description
fits that of most water based creatures- a Loch Ness Monster-like
beast.
The name Ogopogo originates from a music song and has been adapted
to the creature. Most reports are of logs that seem to come to life
and swim away.
