Found this on the web while browsing for some Ogopogo pics and vids:

Do you think this its Ogopogo?

intersting. hard to say

I think it could be a whale.

The things weren't really moving. I'd say rock formations or schools of fish. But, I didn't zoom in and I had WMP in skin mode...

Nice try (yeah sure a whale), incase you are not in the 'know' Ogopogo lives in Okanagan Lake, that being fresh water, absolutely no chance of a whale there, but yeah sure like i said, nice try......NEXT please. LOL

Maybe freshwater sharks or dolphins.

You prematurely judged the situation tarabull! It dosn't say that this "Ogopogo" video was taken in Okanagan Lake.

The Ogopogo is theorized to be an "instinct" Zueglodon (Which is/was a whale)

Whales can enter into freshwater for a short period of time, but can not survive there because of insufficent food, But yes, there are whales in Okanagan (See Link.)

Now, I've been looking to see if Okanagan is freshwater or saltwater, and I did find this:

"Although Forel originally considered limnology to be "the oceanography of lakes", a modern definition of limnology includes the study of all inland waters, including lakes, streams, springs, puddles, ponds, etc. Limnology includes the study of inland salt lakes (e.g. Mahoney Lake and Robert Lake in the Okanagan Valley) as well as all freshwater habitats. Limnology includes the study of physical and chemical aspects of water, as well as biology." [Source]

This means that the lakes in the Okanagan area are both saltwater and freshwater, so whales could be found either way.

Aside from saying it was a whale it could also be: A wake, an optical illusion, a sturgeon, a school of fish, or even something we don't know about [i.e. something man-made caused the "monster" before it was taped]

if you spell ogopogo backwards you get ogopogo....

very intresting... very informative, very good discovery, and very much ogopogo...READ BELOW

too me it does actually look like awhale just beneath the surface, also ogopogo is supposedly supposed to be more of serpent-like creature

What the heck is an ogopogo?

ogopogo is supposedly the unknown creature of lake okanagan and is supposed to be a long serpent-like creature or some think its a zeuglodon (whale or whale like) animal

HOLY SH**....just like RACECAR

as for the video my stupid computer wont let me watch it so i have no imput on it...i just wanted to comment on the ogopogo backward thing

WOAH. aaaah yeah so I suppose I ASS-U-ME-D or rather prematurely judged the situation as per DBTFG....thanks SO MUCH for your thorough input. As for mine, nevermind....

That was a pretty kool video, people should carry video cameras all the time

I'm always a little skeptical when the sites have this listed under the video footage



Thanks for the imprinting, Kevin.

If you want a lot of info on the ogopogo,i'm the one to ask.I have seen it 4 times(yes i have),i go there almost every summer,and i live 3 hours away

Hmm,the site downloads keep saying 'error'

What did you see on your 4 sightings CR, was it similar to the vids?

any luck with the link?

quite interested with what you saw. hope you'll post pictures

So CR, just curious since your only 3 hours away from there, do you (personally) know of any salt water LAKES in the Okanagan....

BTW, I've stared out over the Okanagan Lake many times watching and waiting for him but the sneaky slickery sucker slipped by me everytime

you all should really watch the lake at night with night vision goggles

honestly to say i haven't a clue, it could be anything

give us a breakdown of the area CR

You must be so sure of yourself if your still looking for something to debate about after being shot down?

Read this, and keep quiet, alright?

i'm just curious CR, have there ever been any reported sightings of 2 or more ogopogos at the the same time?

or is it just an individual creature, that comes in from the ocean or something?

I use to live in Nakusp B.C. which is about 3 hours from Kelowna,that is right on lake Okanogan. I have been there many times,never seen the ogopogo though. I have never heard about the lake being saltwater or partly saltwater. I have swam in the ocean and in Lake Okanogan many times and i'm pretty sure it's fresh water. It could be a sturgen but they like to hang out at the bottom/bottom feeder,school of fish Hmmmm the wave or wake is to big to be created by a school of trout.

I heard about another encounter last summer where a family on a houseboat, was rocked pretty good and I think there was footage I will try to find It. Well just my thoughts. Later.

an interesting video. Are the uso's moving or not? i cant tell

Just so you know I'm not talking about Okanagan Lake being saltwater, I'm taking about other lakes in the Okanagan Valley region.

The larger creature certainly "hangs" in the water much like a Whale does. It's strange and intriguing, but doesn't look all that serpent-like.

The video is honestly really hard to tell what the figure could be. Honestly, ogopogo is "believed" to be a snake shaped figure" and I'm not really sure if a large snake of the unknown figure of the lake would stay in one spot slowly. I'm saying this because to me, both figures look like their traveling very slowly. Like someone mentioned, it could always be a school of fish moving slowly or treading water.




Honestly, this is planet Earth and we may never know, fact or ficton. But I believe it could just be anything to a large eel or a school of fish, thats my opinion. Also, their is a possiblilty of freshwater sharks or dolphins in the area of nearby.

Some interesting pictures:


(model to represent what ogopogo is believed to look like)










Sumamrized: An unknown snake-like cryptid living in a random lake that has been believed to be an ancient snake to a dinosaur-like snake that has never been seen before. Like "Champ" and the "Loch Ness Monster", its a random encountered figure to be seen in any ordinary lake.

Umm,for one thing,that doesn't look like penticto,and another,those creatures look more like plesiosaurs than a snakelike serpent like the Ogopogo...

Those figures in the sea-tops, like you have said, I don't think they could be waves but they could be any ordinary known animal just floating a-top...
