The Hillstrand Brothers Watch the Cadborosaurus Video
A strange creature that was recorded swimming on the water’s surface like a sea serpent in a video taken by Alaskan fishermen in 2009 could be the elusive Cadborosaurus.
The animal blew water through the back of its head like whales, but its swimming motion was vertical, rather than lateral like a fish.
Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand from the Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch brought the footage for analysis to Canadian cryptozoologist Paul Leblond, who studies mystery animals.
“Spray came out of its head,” Andy Hillstrand told Discovery News. “It was definitely not a shark. A giant eel may be possible, but eels don’t have humps that all move in unison. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
Former head of the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of British Columbia, Leblond watched the footage of the mysterious marine beast.
“I am quite impressed with the video,” LeBlond told Discovery News. “Although it was shot under rainy circumstances in a bouncy ship, it’s very genuine.”
Leblond believes the animal may be Cadborosaurus. He co-authored a book called “Cadborosaurus: Survivor from the Deep.”
The anatomy of a Cadborosaurus consists of a horse-like head on a long neck and serpent-like body with humps along its back plus a pair of large webbed hind flippers.
The first spotting of a Cadborosaurus Willis was in 1932 in the waters located near Chatham Island off New Zealand.
Since then, more than 300 have reportedly been spotted. The creature was named Cadborosaurus as many of the early sightings were near Cadboro Bay in British Columbia, Canada.
Another breakthrough occurred in 1937 at Vancouver’s Naden Harbour Whaling Station when the carcass of a mysterious creature was found in a whale’s stomach.
According to Cryptozoology.com, the creature was 20 feet long. Tissue samples were taken for analysis, but they were lost and no one knows what happened to the carcass afterwards. Now the only evidence is a photograph
