What is Ogopogo?
Ogopogo is a legendary lake that is said to be inhabited by Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada. The inhabitants of Vernon in British Colombia called the creation of Ogopogo in honor of the 1920s song with the same name. It is said that ogopogo has a horse's head and a snake body, about 20 to 50 feet (6-15 m) long. Creating is reported that it is dark blue, brown or black, with fins and light -colored underside. According to the indigenous folklore, Ogopogo lives in a cave near Rattlesnake. As a result, the local natives made victims to calm the beast whenever they were applying for her lair. The incident was later reported in the Vancouver Sun, seven years before the first reported observation of the Loch Ness monster.
as well as the monster Loch Ness Monster, Ogopogo is also located in the long and narrow water body at approximately the sameWidth like Loch Ness. Although Ogopogo is often compared in cryptozoology with its Scottish counterpart, cryptozoologist and car the search for hidden animals , Roy P. Mackal, theorizes that Ogopogo is actually a kind of primitive whale known as Basilosaurus cetoides. While nessie is often described as a plesiosaur, ogopogo is described as "log-like" and only one or two feet (0.3 to 0.6 m).
In 1968, a man named Art Folden was captured by a dark, Plezský object on a video that appears to be swimming near the shore of Okanagan lake. Then in 1989, the serpentine was also captured in the video and seemed to flick the tail before plunging into the water. Although many theorized creatures on the film Beaver because of the characteristic tail swing, videoographers claimed that the animal they saw was approximately 15 feet (4.6 m) long.
Like Mothman, Jersey Devil and Chupacabra, Ogopogo is often considered a natural animal such as otter or sturgeon, welinen for cryptid. Ogopogo was admitted as a cultural myth and a mascot for British Columbia and Canada as a whole, even appeared on a Canadian postal stamp and was accepted as a mascot by Kelowna Western Hockey League, The Kelowna Rockets.
