Kelowna, British Columbia’s Daily Courier is reporting two scientists have agreed to analyze the remains of a mysterious-looking specimen found along the shore of Okanagan Lake.

A tissue sample of the creature will be sent to a researcher in Ontario for DNA testing, and the carcass itself will be examined by a scientist in Alberta.

The remains were found two weeks ago by Kelowna resident Dan Poppoff as he paddled his kayak near the far end of Lakeshore Road. For now, he’s still got the carcass, which measures more than a metre-long in his freezer at home.

Poppoff is reluctant to suggest the strange-looking carcass might be an example of an Ogopogo, the legendary inhabitants of Okanagan Lake. But he is interested in finding out just what it is. He contacted Arlene Gaal, a Kelowna woman who was written extensively on Ogopogo sightings over the years.

Gaal is making arrangements to send the tissue sample and carcass to the two researchers, who she declines to identify.

“If I name them, people will be calling them left and right, and they won’t be able to get on with the business of determining just what this creature is,” Gaal said late in June.

“But I can assure you that both of them are very reputable people, experts in their fields. Both of them are attached to universities,” Gaal said.

Gaal isn’t sure when the results of the investigation will be available, but she hopes it will be fairly soon.

Stay tuned, as Cryptomundo will follow up on this story.

Oh, fun! If only there were pictures, then we could play the Guess the Carcass game!

I hear they love that game in NY. I can see MQ $ signs in his eyes.

A meter long,,,,,,hm. Maybe a Squatch mated with an Otter,,,,,,,it's a Squotter ! !

Or worse yet, an "Ottersquatch".... Hmmm... could be a good title for the next B level flick on the Sci-Fi channel.

(In my best Velma voice.)

"Jinkys, Fred, it's a gang of zombie Sasquotterautch! Look out!"

Globster mysteries are like wonderful, putrid, stinking birthday presents wrapped up chunks of decaying tissue with a pretty collagen bow on top.

Cryptidion: You could of talked all day and not said that!

Urp, slop, get the mop!!!!

A meter is only just over 3 feet, so it really is not very large at all considering what it's alleged to potentially be.
It must be something very different then a dead fish, in looks and such.
Why however do I have an idea we'll be seeing a photo of a decayed lake trout or pike, in the near future...(both of which have freaky big teeth and nasty looking skulls...and the pike in particular is almost snake like in some ways).

any news?

I haven't been to Cryptomundo recently. Any news from someone who has?
