[edit] Description

It has been described to be very similar to Ogopogo, 0.3 m (1 ft) in girth, and 3.6 m (12 ft) of the monster above water, and it is also described as serpent-like with different combinations of humps, varying from 1 to 6 humps.

[edit] Sightings

It was also reported as being seen in groups, the most famous lake monster to be seen non-individually. A group of 17 witnesses, most of them bearing no relation to each other, reported seeing three animals, two large and one small. This suggests that the creature(s) seem to stay together after mating/childbirth, possibly in pods similar to whales and dolphins. ^{[citation needed]}
