Strong evidence for the existence of sea serpents., February 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cadborosaurus: Survivor from the Deep (Paperback)
Cadborosaurus: Survivor From the Deep is a chronicle of the search for evidence that sea serpents exist off the coast of British Columbia, Canada and the adjacent coastal waters of the several American states. The title is based on the creature of the same name which has been seen for more than a century by many reliable and upstanding witnesses.
Dr. Paul Leblond, former head of the Dept. of Oceanography at the University of British Columbia and chairman of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, and his collaborator Dr. Ed Bousfield, retired research consultant at The Royal British Columbia Museum are both eminent scientists who have taken a professional approach toward solving the enigma of whether the Cadborosaurus exists.
They have compiled numerous eyewitness reports and other data and carefully analysed each piece of information. The conclusion is the sea serpent is a reality.
In the pages of this worthwile tome are several photographs and diagrams of actual specimens of sea serpents which have been found over the years. Of particular interest is the Cadborosaurus of Naden Harbour, Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia. This specimen was retrieved from the stomach of a whale and photographed. It was in exquisite condition and is proof that sea serpents were more than myths. Leblond and Bousfield recount how they found one of the witnesses to this event and his account of the proceedings is fascinating reading.
The book is written in a breezy easy to comprehend style even though it is primarily a scholarly and well-researched scientific volume.
Cryptozoology enthusiasts will find this book very helpful in understanding the life and habitat of Canada's greatest sea serpent.

Cadborosaurus:Survivor from the Deep, September 16, 2002
This review is from: Cadborosaurus: Survivor from the Deep (Paperback)
I have read countless books on the subject of unknown lake and sea creatures, Paul Leblond's book is one of the best! This family of creatures have been around a lot longer then we have been and hopefully will survive with the ever increasing number of people looking for them. The book is packed full of data. It's a book worth adding to anyone's collection that isinterested in the subject.

Great zoological discovery., August 22, 2009
This review is from: Cadborosaurus: Survivor from the Deep (Paperback)
Dinosaurs are rare, not extinct. The cartoonish cover belies its contents. This book presents the facts in a very organized way and supplies plenty of pictures to attest their research by. Although nessie may be elusive, his cousins are alive and well in cold British Columbia. We even have a baby of one in a museum now. Other specimens have been destroyed or stolen by fanatical evolutionists who don't want their religion of evolution overturned. Roy Mackal's book of a living brontosaurus in Africa is also fascinating. Unfortunately, book sellers on-line sell them for ridiculous prices. I found mine in local used book stores in the upstate New York area for less than two dollars. Drs. William Gibbons and Rob Mullin are conducting an ongoing expedition to Cameroon. Like the above scientists, they share no creationist bias and so should be welcomed by the scientific establishment for their findings. Scientists in this field are attesting to the existence of not only water dinosaurs, but flying and land ones as well. They exist today in locations from the Amazon in South America, to Australia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Northwest China and Africa. It is noteworthy that Roy Mackal was removed from his university position for publishing his book. Similarly, Mary Schweitzer's discovery of fresh dinosaur blood in an unfossilized T-Rex bone in Montana has jeopardized her career. Moreover, internet blogs are filled with naked denials and profane ad hominum arguments against all of the mounting evidence against the evolutionist belief system. Dinosaurs depicted in art in the Nazca museum is denied access to the public because it goes against the evolutionist presupposition that man and dinosaurs cannot be contemporaries. Books like this one on cadborosaurus are a welcomed addition to any library to supplement the old books. The old books, all of which teach the evolution myth, belong in the Dewey decimal classification of 800 for fiction literature. The other living fossils today are these old scientists who threaten to hit you with their cane to compel compliance to their fiat. Indeed, the scientists who still maintain evolutionary blind faith are a rival to Papal infallibility. And similar to the Catholic Church which they indict for its trials of Galileo Galilei, they hypocritical censor the Roy Mackals, Mary Schweitzers and others who dare question the status quo. I didn't know scientific standards have plummeted to the point where imperial fiat of the academy cannot be questioned. This regime of evolution has severe repercussions for scientific insight since it delimits parameters of permissible research. Is it any wonder that great discoveries in science and scientific prodigies are becoming a rarer phenomenon nowadays where secular ideology visits punitive sanctions on those who deviate from the status quo. At least when Christian theology enjoyed prominence, the number of prodigies dwarfed the number we have today by the tens of thousands. I don't think this is a coincidence. Books like this are paving the way to true scientific rigor.
