Nicknamed Caddy, this sea serpent from folklore of regions of the Pacific Coast of North America. The name is derived from Cadboro bay in Greater Victoria, British Columbia, and the Greek root word "saurus" meaning lizard or reptile.
Witnesses have reported that "Caddy" resembles a serpent with vertical coils or humps in tandem behind a horse like head and long neck, small front flippers and either hind flippers or large webbed back flippers that fuse together to form a fan like tail that pushes the creature forward.
Many marine creatures have been used an explanation of Caddy. Conger eels, humpback whales, elephant seals, ribbon and oarfish, basking sharks, and even sea lions. In over 200 descriptions of Caddy not one of the before listed animals are a match.
