Cryptid of the Day: Ogopogo

Description: Canada’s most famous lake monster, Ogopogo was first seen in 1872 by author Susan Allison, though tales of aquatic beasts living in Lake Okanagan have been around since natives inhabited the region. According to folklore, the monster is said to live in caves underneath Rattlesnake Island.

Note: these creatures do not actually exist. The following descriptions are facetious

Plesiosauria. This clade of ''extinct'' and ''pre-historic'' marine reptiles includes the Loch Ness Monster and Ogopogo, large long-necked monsters that live in lakes.

Lepus antilocapra. This rabbit species, known as the Jackalope, has antlers on its head.

Finally got some proper photography done of my cryptid patches, since every one gets hand drawn before I embroider them they always end up with a lot of personality.

Ogopogo Lake Monster

Nessie in Canada?

From the essay:

Okanagan Lake in British Columbia, Canada is home to the fabled Ogopogo Lake Monster. Descriptions of Ogopogo vary, but it is often depicted as a serpentine creature with a long, undulating body. Some accounts suggest it resembles a large snake or a prehistoric plesiosaur, with dark, smooth skin and the capacity to move swiftly through water. Local folklore describes its length as between 15 and 50 feet, endowing it with a formidable presence.

I don’t have to know any more about Christianity/the Bible to be justified in rejecting its claims than I need to be an expert on Bigfoot, Nessie, or the Ogopogo to reject their existence.
