The Loch Ness monster is a fiction for many zoologists. But for Paul LeBlond, professor of oceanography at the University of British Columbia, "Caddy" is a puzzle science. At a meeting of zoologists held late last December in Vancouver, he presented a report on the biology of the unknown "Cadborosaurus".

The being "Cadborosaurus", known as "Caddy", has appeared on the shores of British Columbia and Oregon. LeBlond states that these news should be taken into account. In addition, its people have represented this animal in stones and beams since ancient times.

For the past 60 years, many people have claimed that the young specimens of the Caddy creature have been in their hands. As for the characteristics of this being, most refer to a long neck, short front fin pointed, head on horseback, large mouth and ears similar to giraffe.

In some images they draw a snake-like body. Its length exceeds seven meters and moves under the sea.

LeBlond and his friends work at the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria and study their footprints on the beings mentioned, to conclude their biology and behavior. Among them they highlight that Caddy can be a living being at the bottom of the sea. This may be the reason that it has rarely been seen.
