It's not a fake, it's real footage of a log being moved by a beaver.

I can remember the time when skeptics would say, "if any of these creatures, UFO's, etc. were real, someone would catch them on a movie camera." Now that everyone has video cameras, and they are being caught. They say:. "they're being faked". Some people will never believe in anything out side their (safe zone) of knowledge. Such is the state of human kind.

Ok now that I've looked at it. I gotta say moose. Look at the shape of the head at :32. I thought at first that the animal had just surfaced at the beginning of the video but it was already there. The guy filming knew it was there before as well or else he would have at least said "oh shit" or had some reaction when he found it. It's big enough to be a moose as well while too large to be a turtle or otter.

Very interesting at the least. It does require more scrutiny before I decide what it is. The lack of any emotion by the camera person is odd to me, but then again too much emotion would be just as suspicious. It's big whatever it is, and I'm not familiar enough with the wildlife in the area to speculate as to what it may be. I still wouldn't want to go swimming with it, lmao

It is not a beaver. It is an otter.

Ever notice how actual fossil Plesiosaur displays always show a "short" necked beast? Then why do science TV shows & books always show a "long" necked Plesiosaur? Hmmmm... conspiracy theory maybe? Anything to keep paleontology, chronology, and evolution inline with the party line.

These 5 YouTube videos below prove that turtles can have long necks and can grow huge. Who knows what type of genetic chimera turtle this video could be of. Eric Olsen prolly didn't catch Champ last June but actually a huge turtle of some sort. Champ(s) is still out there somewhere. Mansi saw a Plesiosaur not this.

pogsquatch - Being a Champ SME from CT I wanted this to be Champ so bad. But after interviewing Mansi decades ago, viewing Boddette video, and my own personal encounters I'm partial to Sea Tortoise or Alligator Snapping Turtle. We have them in CT too. Big ones. They migrated up from Mississippi River. Hump is ridged shell. Long tail. Neck short. Moving too slow for fish predator. This thing is far more dangerous than a Pleisosaur too. Snappers can bite, and hard! And they look like dinosaurs.
