There have been countless stories of sea serpents in the waters around Vancouver Island, since time immemorial. In the last century, nonIndigenous communities have given some of them names. Victoria’s Cadborosaurus or "Caddy" being the best known 🐉

The three-legged crow Yatagarasu is the messenger of the gods of the Shinto shrines of Kumano. It's also the symbol of the Japan Football Association, perhaps because they feel that an extra leg would often be a handy thing to have? #FolkloreThursday
