The Lore
Cadborosaurus, or 'Caddy,' is a sea serpent reported along the Pacific coast from Alaska to California, concentrated around Vancouver Island. Described as having a horse-like head, long neck, humped body, and flippers, it was allegedly found in the stomach of a sperm whale in 1937. Over 300 sightings have been logged since the 1930s.
