What is the charm of the mysterious Kanas Lake monster in Xinjiang?

A professor from the Department of Biology of Xinjiang University was one of the first experts to pay attention to the Kanas water monster. He believed that the water monster seen by witnesses might be a huge fish. According to the information, it has been said that water monsters were sighted in Kanas Lake for a long time.

In 1980, experts deployed a large net hundreds of meters long on the lake, but the next morning, the net disappeared without a trace. At first, they first thought it was the action of water flow, and searched downstream for two days but found nothing.

As they moved upstream, they were surprised to find the giant net 2,000 meters upstream from where the net was set! After finally pulling the net up, we found that the surface of the net float had wrinkled like a jujube and had shrunk in size. This was obviously caused by the huge water pressure in deep water, indicating that the net had been dragged to the bottom of the lake dozens of meters away!

At the same time, they found that many small fish were caught in the net, and there was a huge hole. These circumstances prove that there must be large and powerful creatures in the water.

Since the mysterious Kanas Lake Monster became famous at home and abroad in the 1980s, it has been like a huge magnet, deeply attracting tourists who love to explore. More and more tourists are traveling thousands of miles to visit the picturesque Kanas Lake, hoping to catch a glimpse of the water monster. So far, the mystery of the water monster has not been solved.

Photographers who were concentrating on artistic creation one day heard someone shouting and turned around to see the lake monster's huge head sticking out of the water.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, I didn’t have time to take a wonderful picture, but the photographer recalled: “It looked like a dog’s head with a tail sticking out of the water, it was definitely not a fish’s head.
