The Partridge Creek monster is purported to be a large Dinosaur Cryptid from the Yukon which was reportedly sighted in the first part of the 20th century.

Description

According to sightings the creature is described as being 30 feet long with a hairy body.

Sightings

There are two known sightings from the early 1900s describing it as looking like the Jurassic Theropod Ceratosaurus.

1903

James Lewis Buttler and Tom Leemore were hunting a moose near Clear Creek when the animals they were hunting ran away in a sudden rapid fright. They discovered the Big tracks of some animal that appeared to be a tail impression. They followed it for a while, until the tracks disappeared into a deep rocky gorge. They later met Georges Dupuy, Fr. Pierre Lavagneux and five unnamed Indians who agreed to hunt for the monster. They were initially unsuccessful but later they encountered it near their campsite. They observed it for about 10 minutes before it went away.

1907

Lavagneux claimed to have spotted the creature again in the same area on December 24, 1907.It was carrying a dead caribou in its massive jaws and left tracks identical to the tracks recorded a few years earlier.
