On the south-eastern coast of Crimea, sung by Maximilian Voloshin, located the Karadag mountain range, whose name translates as Black Mountain. The age is really amazing – 150-160 million years. Scientists claim: from time to time appear here living remains of bygone ages. In June 2013, a lawyer branch of a scientific biostation on the territory of the Karadag reserve E. Rud received shocking from his Yalta friends videos that were hard to doubt the authenticity of, although what he saw was like a horror movie (unfortunately the author of the article does not show either video, or at least a screen from it) On board pleasure boat, huddled together, people screamed with fear. The ship rocked hard, although there was no storm, no wind, it shone bright the sun. The wave came from the monster that appeared next to the ship: his dimensions exceeded 50 meters in length! (The length of the ship is about 40 meters.) Sea serpent of ancient myths, meandering in the water, rapidly pounced on dolphins, immediately devouring them in front of amazed the public. These shots were complemented by other top-shot tourists, who ascended that clear day to the top of Karadag in order to observe endless blue spaces. Well, not mass, it was hallucination?! In addition, there were many different eyewitnesses. There was a stir around the Karadag snake, the problem required scientific word, since a rare visitor to the reserve does not ask question about the monster. The Red Army and Janissaries against Karadag reptile Gigantic serpentine bloodthirsty creature living in waters of the Eastern Crimea, mentioned in ancient myths and legends. It entered the annals under the name “Karadag reptile.” Academician National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Evgeny Shnyukov says: “Rummaging through the legends of Crimea, I found a description like somewhere in near the Otuzka river there was some kind of snake that they feared locals and to eliminate which had to cause even Janissary from Central Europe. Judging by the events, this was before вхождения Крыма в состав России”. 
A photo from open sources In 1921, Maximilian Voloshin sent Mikhail Bulgakov to Moscow, a clipping from the local Feodosia district newspapers. The note said: the peasants of the village of Koktebel complain, that a certain serpent appeared on Mount Karadag, which comes out of the sea and devours their sheep, in connection with which, in Karadag for its capture was sent a company of Red Army soldiers. Attempts to track down and “distribute” giant reptile “did not succeed: only his track slipping into the sea. But it’s known that on the basis of this newspaper clippings Bulgakov wrote the story Fatal Eggs. After war writer Vsevolod Ivanov told that on May 14, 1952 in during his vacation in Crimea, he went for a walk in Serdolikovaya a bay where I saw something resembling a ball of algae. Suddenly this something began to unfold and lengthen. Finally out of the water on stones crawled out a huge snake with a meter head. The writer was lucky: smoking a pipe, he watched with interest for 40 minutes (!) a serpent, made sketches and notes about how he played in the water and hunted dolphins, and then rested, basking on the stones. Few Moreover, the “communication” lasted more than one day. O.S. Severtseva recalls that after Ivanov’s story, many young people, including including her, went with him to the bay. Hoping to see the monster they dived into neighboring bays. Water in an underwater cave – the monster’s supposed exit point turned out to be icy. Has become completely dark, it was impossible to determine the depth, and it seemed there there can be nothing alive … Later, information about the mysterious snake, personally participating in his searches, collected for transmission “Club cinema travelers “Yuri Senkevich. He was convinced that this was a relic ancient fauna. A dog’s head is deadly In May 1961 years a fisherman from the village of Kurortnoy M. Kondratyev with two satellites in the morning went to sea for fishing. Sailing from the pier biostation, boat turned towards the Golden Gate. Suddenly three hundred meters from the shore and 50 meters from the boat the fishermen discerned something underwater brown. Come closer. Three meters above the water a meter-long head covered with cosmos like algae. Neck and visible part of the body was covered with horn plates. From the mane to the top parts of the head were looked at by small eyes, whose gaze cast all in horror. Recollecting himself, Kondratyev managed to deploy the boat and give gang on top speed. The monster chased after, but in a hundred meters from the shore stopped and went into the open sea. Boat on rushed ashore in full swing, and woe-fishermen screamed into side of the biostation. Seven years later, Kondratiev “was lucky meet again with an old buddy. “Going up to the boat, he saw 30 meters from the shore a large brown spot. The water was bubbling the monster’s head appeared a little – and immediately disappeared under the water, leaving behind a whirlpool with a funnel with a diameter of 10 meters and about two deep. Taught by bitter experience the fisherman immediately retired. Not everyone was so lucky. In the 1930s, a fisherman from Kuchuk Lambata (now Small Lighthouse) met a huge snake among the coastal cliffs. When people ran to his inhuman cry, he only managed to whisper: “Dog’s head …” – then he was paralyzed, and through month he died. So the artist from Moscow A. Kudryavtsev, you can say, escaped with a slight startle. August 18, 1990 to him I decided to go fishing at night on the pier in the village of Planerskoye. All around not a soul. Suddenly he was overcome by horror – in the dark at a height of two meters above two eyes shone with water. The artist, unable to miss each other look, petrified. Having hardly recovered, he jumped up and rushed to the shore. He was still tormented by terrible dreams. In 1992, with Karadag the dragon met V.M. Velsky, a former combat swimmer, who served in the special forces: “I went to masked sea and fins. Five meters from the coast, I immediately went under water and sailed 40 meters at a fairly large depth. Looking around to my right, I saw that “handsome.” I didn’t have a fright. I he made out well. It was a smooth snake, with a larger body half a meter, without any ridges, more than 15 m long. He saw me arched his neck up, looked and rushed to me. I realized what I need scoot, and broke all existing swimming records. Bouncing on shore, I was amazed to see that the head of my pursuer looked out at the point where I started the flight. He is exactly scanned the distance! His head rose above the water by more than half a meter (it looked like a horse), and he, too, became look around. I realized that this is not a joke, and I hastily retire. “Occasionally, scientists were accidentally lucky. In the late 1980s, Crimean coast a deep-sea underwater laboratory worked “BENTHOS”. During one of the dives, the researchers saw something huge, about two meters in diameter, sailing 8-10 meters across the BENTOS course. However, there was no clear visibility, and there were no special cameras for underwater shooting. December 7, 1990 years a team of employees of the Karadag branch of the Ukrainian Institute South Sea Biology Academy of Sciences went to sea to test networks, set for catching the Black Sea skates at a depth of 40 meters in area of Serdolikova Bay, a few miles from the shores of Karadag. When the nets pulled up, they took out a dolphin with their belly eaten out – so that the spine was visible. Teeth marks left on the insides resembled the edge of the dough from which faceted circles for dumplings are cut with a glass. What was the size if the teeth are the size of a glass ?! And what kind of marine could they belong to predators? Unless representative Mesozoic era … Scientists were at a loss. Later from the networks another dolphin-prey was taken – this one was sucked head. 
A photo from open sources Despite all attempts to find out the truth, one can only guess who he recently met in Sea Senior Researcher at the Biostation V. Machkevsky. at night who went with friends on a kayak to put his network ready plug-in net. Having completed the business and having sailed a bit, they saw side of the coast, against the backdrop of Karadag, that same serpent. “…In the sky the full moon rose, and it very well highlighted what was happening. The surface of the water was absolutely smooth, like glass. Suddenly I I heard a splash to my left. He turned his head and … saw in a halo foam rolling body of a fairly large animal. On his there was no fin characteristic of a dolphin on the back, there was no inherent dolphins reflex inhalation-exhalation. Back of an unknown creature was smooth and much larger than a dolphin. Maybe its surface it was scaly, but in the night light it was quite clear difficult. Back rolling in this halo of foam was so long, that I managed to show this phenomenon to a friend. It was so close that I could touch the paddle on the back of the animal. All it was like a huge snake and a car camera, it creature impossible to describe. “Vulnerable Caddy So who is it swam into the Crimean waters? They talked about a cloak-like shark with flat flanks resembling a huge eel; according to another version, it was herring king – a fish-belt up to nine meters in length in the North and Mediterranean Seas … Maybe in the Black Sea from the ancients has any lizard survived? In the end, what do we know about Karadag, which has been a nature reserve for decades? And why not be Is this magnificent mountain a haven of exotic species? Karadag – the remnant of an ancient volcano, the underwater part of which has not been studied. Once displacement of the earth and volcanic clay led to complex layering, the formation of underwater caves, unknown passages and tunnels. Voloshin, who settled in Koktebel, possessed a spiritual vision, more than once he told friends about a secret hidden in the bowels Karadag. About wonderful, inaccessible underwater grottoes, about portals with going into the past, into other dimensions, and finally, about spirits and mythical creatures inhabiting the “living” Cimmeria, far from each revealing their secrets. Official science is sure: if on A living creature lives in Karadag, there should be several of them – mother, dad, grandfather, grandmother, etc. But neither the remains nor the laying of these eggs no creatures found yet. In addition, Crimean hydronautics today completely collapsed, deep-sea equipment delivered to scrap metal. It is known that such studies successfully continue in their territories, North American zoologists. In 1995, two Canadian Oceanographers – Dr. Edward Busfield (Royal Museum Ontario, Toronto) and Professor Paul Le Blon (University of British Columbia, Vancouver) – in the April issue of the scientific journal “Amphiphycifix” described discovered in the British fjords Columbia, on the Pacific coast of Canada, new to science large species of animals – cadborosaurus. 
Фотоfrom open sources They attributed it to plesiosaurs – a group highly specialized marine reptiles extinct in the Mesozoic era. This “zavr” got its name by the name of the sea bay Cadborough, where he was most often observed. The message caused a stir in the media. Newspapers immediately gave the creature the nickname Caddy, and local environmentalists demanded that the government provide immediate security so rare and obviously vulnerable. If you believe eyewitnesses, the cadborosaurus, by the way, since ancient times mentioned in Native American folklore how two drops of water look like Black Sea snake, but feeds on fish, sometimes trying to hunt sea birds. For scientists there is no doubt that the depths of the oceans keep many unexplored secrets. But they need facts. However still not a single high-quality picture was taken – neither with us, nor with them. This is stubbornly explained by the fact that mysterious creatures appear and disappear suddenly, as if only to remind: living Earth was not born yesterday, but it is necessary to study and protect it in all manifestations, especially in unique ones.
