Arkansas’ White River Monster - Serpent or Penguin?
Long before Bill and Hillary Clinton made this Arkansas River famous because of the scandal aptly called Whitewatergate, a land deal, the White River had its own claim to fame. It has a water monster. Even better, the monster, named Whitey, has its own game preserve! It was first sighted in the 1890s. The next were in 1915. The sightings were sporadic. In 1937 and 1971, there were numerous documented sightings. What was, or is, Whitey? A river serpent? Giant sturgeon or catfish? Elephant seal? A species unknown to science? Or, a giant penguin?
