Forget Loch Ness; We’ve Got Caddy

You’ve probably heard of the Loch Ness monster over on the other side of the pond (in northern Scotland, to be exact), but have you heard of “Caddy”?

Caddy, whose scientific name is, “Cadborosaurus willsi” is a our very own all-American sea serpent, reported to be living on the Pacific Coast of North America. In the past two hundred years, there have been over 300 sightings of this slinky creature, ranging from indigenous peoples of Alaska to current-day fisherman. From what we can tell by looking at pictures, Caddy looks kind of like a giant snake that ate a camel, and the camel got stuck in it’s stomach; it’s all kinds of long and skinny, with a lumpy middle (kind of like my aunt Susan), and flippers to boot.

A few years back, Discovery TV showed some footage of this guy – watch and let us know – real, or fake? Give us your opinion!

Cyclops … Shark?

True or false? You tell us! This cartoon-looking one eyed shark was found a few months back – watch the video to see an image of it, or read this Discovery News article here.

Crazy for Coconut Crabs

Ever eaten crab? What about a coconut crab? Did they taste like coconut? We’re dying to know …

The coconut crab is a species of hermit crab, and it’s found in places where the coconut palm is found, which is why it was given its name. Okay, they do also eat coconuts (they can even climb palm trees to pick coconuts and open them themselves!), but they’re more of a side dish; their main dish consists of mostly fruits, nuts, seeds, and tree matter. Interestingly, coconut crabs have “branchiostegal lungs,” instead of gills – that means that they can’t even swim! They even drown if put in water for too long .. What do you think about that? Real crab, or wimpy crab?
