5.0 out of 5 stars Strong evidence for the existence of sea serpents., February 22, 1999

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cadborosaurus:Survivor from the Deep, September 16, 2002

By	Gary J. Prestidge "Gary" (Greendale, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

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.

One wonders about the quality of the book when, truth be told, the totality of its original content can be distilled down to three or four pages. One wonders about the mystery on the whole when the very crux of the case--the Naden Harbour carcass--looks for all the world like a nearly born fetal camel that has passed through "the ringer," so to speak. Indeed, the resemblance of the putative cadborosaurus's head to that of a camel is so incredibly remarkable that one is tempted to postulate that either (a) a very young camel wandered over the seashore and drowned or (b) a camel aborted a stillborn or premature infant at the seashore--in either of which cases the product was swallowed by a sizable carnivore and, pursuant to much chemical-crunching and nautical mile-crunching, was deposited on the shores of North America. Sorry if this sounds too radical, but look, LOOK, at that carcass and tell me you disagree that it's of camel, by camel, and for camel . . . and, BTW, the vaguest possible petroglyphs of thingumajigs with legs and headgear do _nothing_ for me--other than convince me that Northwest Coast peoples can carve vague petroglyphs of horned, legged things.
