Ta-Zam-A - With a name meaning 'Water Bear' in the local language, these bear-like monsters are said to inhabit Lake Shuswap in North America's California, and are roughly the size and shape of full-grown grizzly bears, but have elongated faces in comparison to their ursine counterparts. They may be related to Bunyips and Dobhar-Chús. One of them was killed by a Native American named Tomma San in 1904, and he apparently found 'concealed ears' beneath its flesh when he skinned it.
