um canada has um OGOPOGO, CANADIAN LAKE MONSTER
There are a number of similarities between Lake Okanagan in British Columbia and Scotland's Loch Ness. They are both long and narrow and lie at about the same latitude. And they are each famous for their resident monsters.
The best-known Canadian lake Monster, Ogopogo, actually made its media debut long before the Loch Ness Monster. In 1926, seven years before Nessie's came to the public's attention, Roy W. Brown, editor of the Vancouver Sun, wrote, " Too many reputable people have seen [the monster] to ignore the seriousness of actual facts." While there are serious questions about whether there are non-retroactive Nessie sightings before 1930, but there are archival records of Ogopogo's existence going back to 1872 and sightings have been reported regularly up to the present.
The creature is most often described as being one to two feet in diameter with a length of 15 to 20 feet. The head has been described variously as being horse or goat-like. One oft-mentioned characteristic of the monster is its resemblance to a log.
Deep in Quebec’s murky Lake Memphremagog a resident reptile-like creature named Memphre, was last reported seen in 2005. Manitoba’s Lake Manitoba has had sightings of a mysterious serpentine creature since 1908. Named Manipogo, echoing famed Ogopogo, it was described by one eyewitness as looking like a “dragon with a horse head”. Kempenfelt Kelly, also known as Igopogo, swims Ontario’s Lake Simcoe. Seldom seen, Igopogo prefers to stay out of the limelight attracted by its bolder cousins.
finally Some may know the hairy, ape-like creature that lives in the North American forests as Bigfoot, but to Canadians, he’s Sasquatch, a native Salish word for “wild man” or “hairy man”. A timid and reclusive creature, Sasquatch is described as large and hairy, with big eyes and a pronounced sloped brow. Many Sasquatch spotters have reported that Sasquatch is so quiet and light footed that they never would have noticed him hiding behind the trees had it not been for his strong and pungent order. At times he’s described as more ape-like, other times he appears to have more bear-like qualities. Said to be camera shy, Sasquatch leaves his extremely large foot prints as the only sign that he has visited.
