A snorting, 20-foot-long "sea monster" was spotted by two university students off the shores of a Pacific coastal beach in Victoria, British Columbia, the pair said Friday.
Ryan Green, 18, a Simon Fraser University business student, described the rocky-faced creature as a twin-humped, round-bodied monster that swam across Telegraph Bay near suburban Saanich. It was about 49 feet from the rock Green and his friend, Damian Grant, were sitting on.Green said he and the 19-year-old general arts student at the University of Victoria saw the heavy-breathing creature surface twice before it disappeared into the calm waters.
"All of a sudden, this head comes up, like a whale with no spray. And then this hump," said Green.
He stressed that the puzzled pair was sober at the time.
