Record summary
Cadborosaurus, usually shortened to Caddy, is a proposed marine cryptid named from Cadboro Bay near Victoria. The lead includes twentieth-century eyewitness reports, strandings and photographs, particularly accounts collected by Paul LeBlond and Edward Bousfield. It matters comparatively because alleged observations often describe a long-bodied, multi-humped animal in waters where seals, sea lions, whales and floating kelp are common. Uncertainty is substantial: no accepted specimen establishes a new species, some carcasses have conventional identifications, and later summaries sometimes combine independent reports.
