You Mei Water Monster

Monster 1. Now people can't identify large animals, because environmental pollution causes the variation of water bodies.

It is possible for a small volcano to erupt in deep water for a short time.

3. It may be the offspring of ancient large animals.

It may be an unknown animal.

Speaking of "lake monsters", there are quite a few in the world. The most famous is the Loch Ness monster in England.

This monster has spread for 1400 years. The first witness was St. Columbus, an Irish priest. When he traveled to Scotland, he witnessed a monster attacking tourists in Loch Ness. St. Columbus shouted in despair, and the monster immediately turned and jumped into the water.

1933, a highway was built next to Loch Ness, and since then, the reports of sighting of lake monsters have obviously increased. Among them, there were 12 cases in 2000 and 4 cases in 2002. It is generally believed that the lake monster is plesiosaur.

Loch Ness is 2 13m deep, which can hide a 42-story building. However, scientists have repeatedly used sonar detectors to detect Loch Ness in a large area, but found no evidence. Last summer, the BBC also sent more advanced detectors, but they all failed.

Recently, however, it has been reported that a plesiosaur skeleton/kloc-0.50 billion years ago was found in the shallow water of Loch Ness. Scientists at the National Museum of Scotland said that it was the first time that this kind of skeleton was found in Loch Ness, which confirmed that this plesiosaur once lived here. Experts also said that this is not enough to prove that this dinosaur still exists.

In addition, there is the American version of the Loch Ness Monster. For hundreds of years, people have claimed to have witnessed the appearance of monsters in lake champlain, USA, resulting in a tourist attraction, but the authorities have never found any evidence to prove its existence.

In China, in addition to the "Lake Monster" in Kanas Lake, honghu city, Hubei Province also claimed to have discovered the "Loch Ness Monster" in China. It turned out that in Shuangtan Lake of Honghu Lake, in the 1960s and 1970s, the villagers all said that they had encountered a "lake monster". The monster is huge and bent, and it can't see its head and tail. Later, the legend of the lake monster became more and more mysterious and mysterious. These legends attract tourists from all over the world to visit Honghu Lake, and they all want to see the true face of the monster. A few years ago, someone took a photo of the "Lake Monster" and recognized that the Lake Monster was actually a very big turtle.

In addition, 1980 established a Kanas comprehensive investigation team led by the government of the autonomous region and composed of several scientific research units. Although the search for water monsters is not written into the agenda, it is exactly the wish of every expedition member.

The team members in charge of land animal and plant survey found some rare animal species, such as Altay Rana, viviparous lizard, albino bear and so on.

Albino bear is not a well-known polar bear, but a special variety. This suddenly gave the expedition a revelation: Is there an ordinary aquatic animal at the bottom of Kanas Lake that has become huge and fierce after being alienated in special circumstances?

At the same time, another expedition in the wasteland of Lop Nur, Xinjiang, received the unfortunate news of the mysterious disappearance of the famous scientist Peng.

In order to find the monster, the team members laid a net hundreds of meters long on the lake, but the next morning, the net disappeared without a trace. The explorer's first question was whether the current had washed it away. I searched downstream along the lake for two days and found nothing. Did the herdsmen in the lake area steal the net? But the herdsmen are very friendly to them, which seems very unlikely.

Three days later, two kilometers upstream of the casting net, someone accidentally found this fishing net. After being dragged up, it was stirred into a ball and tore a big hole.

Did the legendary water monster do this? Unfortunately, the mystery of 1980 has not been solved after more than three months of investigation. Time flies to 1985. In order to establish a nature reserve in Kanas, a large-scale comprehensive investigation was conducted, with Ren Huang and Yolanda as the leaders respectively.

At that time, the commander-in-chief of the scientific research team of Xinjiang University was Professor Xiang from the Department of Biology. One morning, he found a huge wave suddenly rising on the calm lake, and under the huge wave, the shadow of a huge red fish gradually emerged! The fish was estimated to be 10 meter long and soon sank into the water again.

After a return to the camp, the news was released immediately. Everyone ran to a place called fish-watching pavilion on the top of the mountain on the west side of Kanas Lake. Sure enough, there are dozens of red spots on the lake, large and small, and experts have taken photos.

With the help of binoculars, the expedition team members can basically determine that those red dots are Dahongyu. Afterwards, people analyzed the photos and compared the spots on the water surface with the trees on the shore. It was found that the length of the largest spot was about 2/3 of the height of the trees, while the Siberian larch and birch trees mainly grew by the lake, and most of them were over 15 meters high. According to this estimate, the big fish in the lake may be 10 meter long.

Experts believe that this estimation method is unscientific, and objects in water will also produce errors through light refraction. The best way is to capture an object.

On the third day after the discovery of Dahongyu, Xiang and Ren Huang Credit's fishing hook hung a big leg of lamb as bait, and a log about 2.8 meters long floated over, ready to go fishing.

Not long after, they saw a fish swimming underwater, but it didn't bite. They just saw a big fish swimming side by side beside the buoy. This fish is about three times as long as the buoy, which means that this fish is nearly 9 meters long.

According to the two fishing situations of the expedition team in 1980 and 1985, there are roughly 8 species of fish in Kanas Lake. In addition to small herbivorous fish, experts focus on the following four kinds of fish: haddock, arctic fennel, salmon and hucho. Through repeated comparison and research, everyone focused on hucho.

First of all, in the breeding season, the skin of Hucho taimen is reddish brown. Secondly, among the above four kinds of fish, Hucho taimen is the fiercest and largest. Judging from the captured specimens about 1.45 meters long, this fish is long and narrow, with a flat head and sharp teeth. Even the upper and lower palates and tongue are covered with barbs, biting food, and it is difficult for food to escape.

After checking with many "monster" witnesses, most people think that what they see is probably a big fish, and the black image in the water is the back of the fish.

However, even after Kanas monster was identified as Hu Qiao's big fish, there were still some unexplained problems. First of all, so far, the length of Hucho taimen caught from Kanas Lake is less than 3 meters, so it is impossible to prove that there will be big fish with a body length of 10 meter in the lake. In addition, does Kanas Lake have the ecological conditions for the existence of giant fish? Hucho taimen is a salmonidae fish, and an important feature of salmonidae fish is migration during the breeding season. Kanas Lake is a river-crossing berth, and the upstream and downstream rivers are relatively narrow, especially the part connected with the lake area, which is mostly rocky shoals. How did the big fish get through?

On September 27th, 2003, around 7 pm, Selik and his colleagues took a motorboat to inspect the lake. When the motorboat reached Erdaowan, it set off a huge wave with a bang. A huge black object jumped out of the water about 20 meters. ...

This scene brings people back to the debate more than ten years ago. Some previous guesses suddenly became fragmented, but at least it shows that there is indeed a monster in Kanas Lake. Although decades have passed, it has not disappeared …

In Xinjiang, there is also a famous lake legend "Lake Monster". According to the Records of Waterways in the Western Regions, soldiers stationed in Santai (now Sailimu Lake) in the Qing Dynasty saw a big-horned and bearded Qingyang sticking out of the lake in the evening. As soon as the monster appeared, there was a sudden gust of wind on the ground, followed by a thunderstorm. The lake is choppy and foggy. Horses neighing, residents can't dodge. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, officials and people near Sailimu Lake also built a spectacular Jinghai Temple at the southern end of the lake and a gorgeous Longwang Temple on the island in the middle of the lake to worship the gods and pray for peace. Unfortunately, both Jinghai Temple and Longwang Temple were destroyed by fire in the early years of the Republic of China. Now the temples and pavilions on the island in the middle of the lake have been built in recent years. It is said that since 1982, many people have repeatedly seen an animal with a big horn and a big beard surfing and surging in the lake, which is both frightening and exciting. But what exactly is a "lake monster" is still a mystery.

News background of "Water Monster" in Lake Leta;

China plateau lake reappears miracle, and UNESCO experts boldly guess that the "water monster" of Lake Leta is Crosaurus that has been extinct for thousands of years!

1In August, 998, Hong Xianlie, a strange man on the plateau, witnessed unknown creatures for the first time in Lieta Lake, Jiulong County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province.

From 1998 to 2008, Hong Xianlie tracked this unknown creature for ten years and photographed four strange phenomena produced by its four activities.

In 2003, Hong Xianlie found National Geographic with information, and the answer was: There is no known creature in the world that can produce this phenomenon!

In 2005, many media at home and abroad rushed to report the "Hunting Tower Lake Water Monster" incident. As a result, many witnesses surfaced, and Japanese scientists once again confirmed the legend of the "Water Monster".

In 2008, Hong Xianlie and a geology professor visited Jiangsu Satellite TV's On Earth at the same time, and boldly guessed that the "water monster" in the hunting lake was a crocodile that had been extinct for thousands of years!

As soon as the "Hunting Tower Lake Monster" incident came out, it caused many disputes. Is there really a "water monster" on Lieta Lake? Thinking of the fake license of Loch Ness, we can't help but doubt the truth of the incident. Is it a fact or a rumor? Is it a "monster" or a "phantom" On June 65438+ 10/day, 2008, Jiangsu Satellite TV reporters went to Jiulong County, Sichuan Province to find out.

Jiulong County is located in the west of Sichuan Province and southeast of Ganzi Prefecture. Many high mountains in the county belong to the same mountain system as the Himalayas. 1976, Chinese scientists discovered a large number of dinosaur and other vertebrate fossils at an altitude of 4,000m, including reptile plesiosaur, sauropod syrup, carnivorous sauropod megalodon shark, etc. All these discoveries make many counties in this mountain system have the significance of scientific investigation, including Kowloon.

For thousands of years, there have been endless rumors that there is a "holy mountain and a holy lake" in Kowloon. The holy mountain is the "Zato Mountain" where Lake Leta is located, and the holy lake refers to "Lake Leta". In Tibetan, "Zato" means "mystery".

More legendary, there is even a thousand-year-old "treasure" in Lake Leta in a local ancient temple called Jiri Temple. Journalists and scholars also personally came to this ancient temple and found Abbot Dawa. Through the abbot's translation, we know that this millennium scripture records that the main peak of Jiri Temple is called the zenith pillar, and if the zenith pillar is compared to a standing person, the location of Hunting Tower Lake is in the center of this person's left hand. More than a thousand years ago, it was the Lama in this temple who witnessed the existence of the "treasure" in the lake and wrote this scripture.

A thousand-year-old temple, a thousand-year-old scripture, records a thousand-year-old witness. Lieta Lake really has a "treasure", and this "treasure" is the "water monster" witnessed by many people later?

Interview witnesses

As soon as we entered Kowloon, we heard many eyewitness accounts. The description agrees that this animal has a light yellow body, a blue-gray head and a body length of more than three meters. It exercises in various ways. What is particularly important is that it sprays water at regular intervals. This puzzled biological scientists, who came to the conclusion that no known creature in the world met these characteristics.

Wang Changsheng, the stationmaster of Kowloon Cultural Station, is one of the witnesses. He even drew a complete picture of "water monsters" according to his own witness. Some of these pictures are like dragons, and some are like fish. When scholars saw these pictures, they were surprised to find that one of them was very similar to the fish "dog fish" living in a cold water lake. This kind of fish is likely to appear in a plateau cold water lake similar to Lake Huntingta, but this speculation was opposed by local people.

So, are there any fish in Lake Leta? Could it be a strange phenomenon caused by fish? With all kinds of questions, human journalists and scholars walked into the "Zato Mountain" and boarded the Hunting Tower Lake, which is as high as 4,350 meters.

Because of the snow, we can't go six kilometers, so we must find a local caravan. These caravan members are all Tibetans. They live by mountains and lakes all the year round, and become the people who have the most contact with "water monsters". They have even confirmed the existence of "water monsters". Even in June 15 of the Tibetan calendar every year, there is a sacrifice to the mountain god (the mountain god refers to the "water monster"). So what kind of creature is this? All this makes scholars and journalists look forward to seeing the "water monster" more!

Visit Lake Leta in person.

On the afternoon of June 2, 2008 1 50, the legendary "water monster" habitat-Lieta Lake appeared in front of our eyes. As a result, everything in front of me shocked everyone present!

Miracle 1: A hole in the ice. Due to the cold climate, the ice surface of Lake Lieta has been frozen for a long time, but there are many irregular holes in the frozen lake. How are these holes formed? According to the local caravan, these holes were knocked out by the "water monster" in order to breathe on the frozen lake!

Miracle 2: Unknown sound. All the people who went up the mountain heard the sound of "banging" under the ice with their own ears, much like the sound of biological impact below, and atmospheric phenomena scholars concluded after comprehensive analysis of the scene that there was indeed a sound produced by the wind blowing into the ice lake on Lake Lita, but this "banging" sound was definitely not caused by the wind!

Miracle 3: consume cow footprints. After investigation, scholars think that the cave may be the melting of the plateau sunshine, but soon we found a large number of cattle-consuming footprints about 2 meters away from the shore, and Kowloon is the hometown of cattle consumption in China, which is rare in China. How can the ice melt easily when such a large amount of cattle can go up?

Miracle 4: Shoal bones. Just under the ice water on the shore, we clearly saw the bones of cattle. What's going on here? How did the cow die here? If it is natural death, why is the bone incomplete? The local ranch staff unanimously pointed out that it is the "water monster" who eats cattle!

These findings puzzled scholars, who made three experiments: ice thickness test, bait test and water temperature test. The result disappointed them again: there is no scientific speculation to explain this strange phenomenon! What the hell is going on here?

Face to face

On June 65438+1October 10, 2008, scholars walked into the human studio and told their unique experiences on the spot.

At the same time, two experts and professors came to the studio: Hong Xianlie, an expert member of UNESCO. Ten years of shooting and investigation convinced him that there was a "monster" in the lake!

Xia Keqin, a professor at the School of Environment and Civil Engineering of Chengdu University of Technology, personally visited Lieta Lake in August 2007. But the conclusion of the investigation is that there is no "strange" in Lita Lake!

The same survey, different opinions, who is telling the truth?

At the scene, Hong Xianlie and Professor Xia sat opposite each other and started a big debate between science and speculation. Hong Xianlie took out four kinds of "water monsters" he had photographed for more than ten years: luminous body, whirlpool, water arrow and ice cave.

Phenomenon 1: Luminous body. On this seemingly small lake, a large area of light has appeared in many places, and it has been moving clockwise. Hong Xianlie said that it is the "water monster" that moves and glows when swimming in circles near the water surface.

Phenomenon 2: Vortex. There are ripples rotating clockwise and counterclockwise on the water surface, and there is always a bright spot in the center of the rotating ripple, which is a strange phenomenon that often occurs at four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

Phenomenon 3: water arrow. In just a few seconds, along the direction of the water ripples, you can see an underwater creature swimming nearly ten meters. Such ripples only occur when large creatures move rapidly in a straight line under water.

Phenomenon 4: Ice cave. As we have witnessed, Lake Leta, which has a particularly thick ice layer in winter, is full of large and small holes, and some holes are still bubbling. The caravan said it was underwater creatures breathing!

Scientific speculation

In view of these, the scientific community has also put forward various speculations, and Professor Xia introduced these speculations on the spot.

Conjecture 1: Light and wind: Lieta Lake is more than 4000 meters above sea level, forming a special alpine geographical environment. Due to the different water depth and water temperature, it is easy to produce convection due to the different water temperatures, and coupled with the influence of crosswind, it is particularly easy to produce strange phenomena.

Conjecture 2: Fish compete for food. When small fish gather in schools to compete for food, it will cause a special phenomenon, which is also common in the ocean.

Guess 3: Hot springs. Hot spring is an underground hot water source. Groundwater absorbs the heat energy of the earth's crust and overflows along the big cracks in the earth's crust, forming hot springs. The water temperature of hot springs is often significantly higher than the ordinary water temperature, and the highest temperature can be as high as 40 to 50 degrees Celsius, and such water temperature is very likely to melt the ice layer of Lieta Lake and form holes.

But all these speculations have not been further confirmed by science.

"crooked dragon" reappearance

For these speculations introduced by Professor Xia, Hong Xianlie argued vigorously and even published information that he had never published in the media!

Data 1: The image was taken at 7 pm. At this time, there was no sunshine, but a creature was found swimming rapidly underwater.

Data 2: In 2006, Japanese scientists also came to Lieta Lake. To everyone's surprise, Japanese scientists took more strange images. About three meters in front of the luminous body, we clearly saw a stream of water gushing out, which confirmed the description of many witnesses.

Hong Xianlie boldly speculated that the "water monster" in the hunting lake was a crocodile that had been extinct for thousands of years according to the information he had!

Crocodile, a kind of underwater dinosaur, is a branch of Shanglong, which is a branch of plesiosaur. But unlike plesiosaur, the crocodile's neck was greatly shortened, and its length and volume were also significantly reduced during the evolution. Therefore, compared with plesiosaurs, crocodiles move faster and faster, and their moving ways are more complicated.

So, is it really possible for Crosaurus to survive under Lake Huntingta? Why did Hong Xianlie speculate like this? Professor Xia refuted Hong Xianlie's point of view? Can science solve the mystery of "Hunting Lake Monster" for us?

Changbaishan Tianchi monster

The mystery of Tianchi monster in Changbai Mountain.

From 2000 to 2005, the water monster was discovered in Tianchi, Changbai Mountain, which attracted the attention of people from all walks of life in the world. At first, people didn't believe in water monsters, but after some photographers captured them at 200 1, people had to believe that there were water monsters in Tianchi, Changbai Mountain. The following is a summary of interviews with witnesses:

At the foot of Changbai Mountain, there used to be two people, one was a cook and the other was a photographer. But after 2002, one stayed at home and the other watched cars in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, never playing or working. When the reporter asked, they told the reason:

In 2000, they just came to Changbai Mountain together. They took an abandoned path and went down to the gravel beach next to Tianchi. One to the left and one to the right. The one on the left didn't go far, but he saw a monster's head coming out of the originally calm lake. He called his friend quickly. When they saw the monster swimming towards them, they quickly ran halfway up the mountain, but things didn't stop. After eating in the parking lot, they went to the swimming pool to play. In the afterglow of the sunset, they set up a tent on the gravel beach. At 20 o'clock in the evening, the king got up to look, only to find a monster's head on the pool and shouted, "Brother Liu, come and see, what is this?" Liu stood up and saw the monster swimming towards them. He ran away and never climbed the mountain again.

Is there really a water monster? If so, where did it come from? There are many kinds of theories in the scientific field, among which the radiation variation theory is the most supportive, which means that the Changbai Mountain monster is caused by radiation pollution. Because Changbai Mountain is a crater, it will inevitably produce radiation, and there is a kind of fish living in Tianchi, which may be caused by radiation. However, some people in the scientific community have said that the real world cannot become as big as a movie at once.

In 2005, after a lapse of five years, scientists suggested that the monster was an illusion caused by otters, because the monsters photographed in the camera were strikingly similar to otters, and otters usually left Tianchi in spring and came to Tianchi in autumn, which is why people saw monsters in July and August.

Five places where China monsters appear.

Magical sea monster

All kinds of water monsters are mentioned in fairy tales of ancient countries. Throughout the ages, thousands of people claimed to have witnessed water monsters with their own eyes, and gave these water monsters many magical and pleasant names, such as "Hailong", "sea snake", "sea giraffe" and "sea swan". Is there really a water monster or are people creating new myths?

1865438+In August 2007, more than 300 people saw a "basilisk" in a harbor in Massachusetts, USA. Its head is like the head of a tortoise, 40 meters long, half as thick as a beer barrel, and its body is dark brown. Later, several workers saw the monster again while fishing in a small boat. One of them took out a pistol and fired at the monster 20 meters away, hitting its head. Then the monster disappeared into the sea.

On August 6th, 1848, 500 kilometers from the southern tip of Africa, the British cruiser "Dadalus" met a monster. Its head was 2 meters long, like a turtle's head, with a dark blue neck and a gray body. There was something like horse hair under its neck, and its body was on the water 18 meters. A month later, the American sailboat "Dapney" also met a snake-shaped glans monster here, with a body of 30 meters long and glowing eyes. Captain Hudson ordered to shoot at it, and the monster seemed to feel the danger of his life. At the moment of shooting, it dived into the water and escaped.

1In June, 897, the French gunboat "Affara Shi" met two big snakes in Alolo Bay. These snakes are 20 meters long and 2-3 meters thick. The gunboat sailed to 600 meters and fired, and the serpent entered the water. The following February 15, the ship met the two snakes again in the same sea area. The gunboat rushed at full speed to the snakes, fired at a distance of 300 meters, but missed. One of the snakes that got into the water actually came out from the stern, so you can imagine the panic of the crew at that time.

19021On the morning of October 28th, the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa was calm and the British cargo ship "Ford Salzbury" sailed smoothly. Suddenly, a crew member saw a giant slowly emerging from the sea, shaped like a cigar, about 30 feet in diameter and 200 feet long. The kind crew shouted to it, "Let's help you, shall we?" But the monster was ungrateful and silently sank into the sea.

1in April, 904, the French gunboat "Desi" docked at Arong Bay near Haiphong Port in Vietnam. One day, the sailors witnessed a huge sea monster, which surfaced 30 meters, covered with soft black skin and dotted with marble spots. The 5-meter-long head has large scales, much like the head of a giant turtle. The water column it sprayed was as high as15m, and it sank into the sea at a distance of 35m from the gunboat.

On July 30th, 2005, the German submarine Y-28 sank a British ship off the coast of Ireland. When the submarine bombarded the water, a strange giant crocodile jumped out of the sea, appeared several times in a row and then disappeared into the sea. The unexpected visitor surprised the German sailors present.

1965438+In September 2007, 70 nautical miles southeast of Iceland's coast, an auxiliary cruiser almost collided with a monster. This monster is black all over, with a body length of 18m and a head as big as a cow's head, but it has no ears or horns. Its forehead is decorated with white stripes. Its fin is over 10cm, thin and blunt, like a triangle. The neck is 6 meters long and moves like a snake. Once turned around, the neck becomes a semicircle.

1in the autumn of 934, the old sailor Akkad's ship sailed from Norway to the sea in Greenland. One day, he saw a monster from nearby. His head was small, his neck was slender, and his body was like a big barrel, winding and rotating flexibly, much like a snake. Akkad also drew a sketch of this monster, which caused a sensation after publication. People who were surprised named this monster "Sea Snake".

1947 12, the liner "Santa Clara" sailed from new york to Cartagena and killed a monster. Its head is 0.75m wide, 0.6m thick and1.5m long. Its cylinder diameter is 1.5 m and its neck length is 0.45 m. It is dark brown and hairless. Unfortunately, no one thought of leaving a tooth or anything.

1965 65438+1October 12 At noon, a New Zealand military plane was passing over the Kebala Bay along the coastline. The captain suddenly found a strange object in the shallows, with a length of 100 feet and a maximum diameter of about 15 feet. There is no protruding part that a submarine should have. The monster swam south at a depth of 40 feet.

1966, Americans Brett and Ricky decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean to set a new record. One night in July, green and phosphorescence suddenly flashed, and Ricky grabbed Brett's shoulder in panic. Brett looked in the direction of his finger and was shocked: there was a long neck in the water with a "bull's head" on it, but there were no horns or ears. It bulging eyes, aggressive green light, coldly looking at them. They almost fainted.

1984 65438+ 10 At dawn on a Sunday, Jim Thompson, a Canadian mechanical engineer, went fishing in a rubber dinghy 8 kilometers away from Vancouver. Suddenly, a monster appeared about 6 1 m away from him. It is about 6 meters long and 0.6 meters wide. Its neck is light brown, with a short horn like a giraffe, drooping ears and a slightly pointed dark mouth. The monster seems both curious and shy. He seemed surprised when he felt that someone was watching him. He swam quickly, twisting up and down, and his movements were very agile.
