There are many legends about water monsters in the world. However, these legends were later proven to be either some form of misunderstanding or a farce created by someone. Almost no legends can survive for a long time. Time passes. However, there is one very special place - Kanas Lake in Xinjiang, my country. In this picturesque place, the rumors of water monsters seem to be getting closer to reality.

2005-6. On March 7, a group of tourists from Beijing took a boat trip on Kanas Lake. When the boat approached Sandaowan, waves more than 1 meter high and 20 meters long suddenly arose on the water more than 200 meters away from the boat. . The waves suddenly appeared and surged towards the center of the lake.

Tourist Li Xiaoling took this very precious shot.

After a big wave passed by, people discovered that, A huge figure appeared under the water in the distance, and this figure was also swimming quickly towards the center of the lake. After a while, the unknown objects that were originally connected turned into two, one behind the other on the water surface. About two minutes later, the two unknown objects disappeared underwater and quickly disappeared. This is the only time that humans have photographed unknown objects in Kanas. This sighting reminds the world of the long-standing story of Kanas. The legend of the Nas Water Monster. Is the figure dancing under the water the legendary water monster? How big is it?

King Kong, the ranger of the Kanas Administration, is the earliest water monster. One of the witnesses. On August 1, 25 years ago, King Kong saw a huge red object floating in the middle of Kanas Lake. This was his first time in Kanas. I saw such a large floating object in Nass Lake and found that the unknown object was moving slowly. The strange thing was that when I came back to observe it the next day, the object had already disappeared without a trace.

Could the object King Kong saw be dead wood? Because some dead wood is often piled up at the head of the lake in the upper reaches of Kanas Lake, and there are many animal bones floating there, causing a terrifying phenomenon. But why are there not those dead trees? What if it goes down the river and is deposited in the upper reaches?

Two years later in the fall, when King Kong was patrolling the mountains on horseback, he once again saw a rough shape in the middle of the lake. An unidentified object about 40 to 50 centimeters high. When he went to a nearby herdsman's house to borrow a telescope, he was scolded by local residents and told not to talk nonsense. This made King Kong very surprised and confused. , these old people seem to be deliberately hiding some secret.

Some people from the Tuwei people near Kanas Lake also said they had seen a one-meter-long dorsal fin, but they did not know what it was. It seems that everyone knows that there are some mysterious things in the lake. Moreover, there are many local legends about water monsters. So why do the locals make up these legends? Is there really any unknown secret behind it?

Rumors about water monsters have been circulating. There is no boat on the calm lake, but big waves will appear suddenly and strangely from time to time. Kanas Administration cadre Selik and driver Tong Baoming once again witnessed the water monster near Sidaowan. What does the legendary water monster look like? In a small lake like Kanas, are there really dinosaur-like monsters like those in legends around the world?

This sighting was widely spread, and coupled with previous rumors and sightings, people believed that there really was a water monster in Kanas Lake. In order to prove whether this is true, a scientific expedition team will come to Kanas soon. What explanation can they give us?

In the summer of 1985, a scientific expedition team came to Kanas. One of the purposes was to investigate whether there was really a water monster in Kanas Lake. The leader of the team was Professor Xiang from the Department of Biology of Xinjiang University. Li Yi. At first, they patrolled the lake for several days but found nothing. But one morning, the sound of the lake suddenly changed. There was a wave of waves on the lake, and a huge shadow was swimming under the waves. In the telescope, Xiang Liye vaguely saw a red giant slowly swimming by and quickly disappearing.

The next day, some members of the expedition team saw dozens of things moving under the water. Later, there were more than 100 things, with reddish-brown backs. The shadows of these big fish were extremely huge, estimated to be ten meters long. The expedition team temporarily called what they saw big red fish.

On the third day, Yuan Guoying from the Xinjiang Environmental Science Research Institute and his companions also saw many reddish-brown dots on the blue-green lake, fish heads like tadpoles, and many huge fish heads formed on the lake. shadow. Among them, the shape of fish can be vaguely seen in some shadows.

General Manager Yuan Guoying saw about 60 large fish. He conservatively believed that the length of the fish was generally more than 10 meters. Well, the length of this fish is incredible. The largest freshwater fish known so far is the sturgeon from my country. Its length can reach about 7 meters and its weight can reach one ton. The big fish that experts saw in Kanas was more than twice as long as the sturgeon, almost comparable to the whale, the largest creature in the ocean. If this is true, the big fish found in Kanas It is definitely the best freshwater fish in the world.

The team members could not believe their eyes due to the astonishing discovery. In order to prove that this was real, they decided to catch a big red fish. They made giant fishhooks, used logs more than 2 meters long as floats, and nylon ropes as fishing lines. However, these fish are very cunning. Whether using lamb legs as bait or wild ducks as bait, the result is still nothing.

Although the water monster was not caught, experts agreed that it was definitely a fish, and tended to be a salmon. Because it is very ferocious and behaves strangely, it has a white belly and red spots on its body. The red spots will be more obvious when it reaches adulthood. This also coincides with the color of the water monster witnessed. However, the largest recorded salmon caught by people in the past was only a little over 2 meters. Why was the salmon seen this time so huge, reaching more than ten meters? This also puzzled the expedition team, so Xiang Liye wrote a paper and published this discovery to the public. The paper immediately caused a sensation at home and abroad as soon as it was published.

Ren Mulian, who has been engaged in aquatic resources investigation for a long time, expressed strong doubts about the length of Zheluo salmon that can reach 10 meters. Calculated based on the specific formula of fish living environment and length, the largest fish in Kanas Lake is 3.73 meters long and weighs 506 kilograms. It is impossible to reach more than ten meters. Kanas Lake is only 24 kilometers long, 3 kilometers at its widest and 1 kilometer at its narrowest. How could it support hundreds of fish that big? How do these fish survive? The salmon found in Kanas with a length of more than 10 meters has seriously exceeded the experience of scientists. Ren Mulian decided to conduct a personal inspection. He planned to catch Zheluo salmon to prove that his point of view was correct. This will also be a difficult challenge, can he succeed?

On July 12, 1988, Ren Mulian and her companions came to Kanas Lake. Fishing for salmon must be done on a sunny day, between 11 and 1 p.m. But the first few days were rainy. It was not until July 25 that the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed. However, Kanas Lake is 188 meters deep. At what depth should the fishing nets be arranged? How will they proceed and how will they fish? One problem after another troubled them.

After six full days of catching, the expedition team finally harvested something. However, what was disappointing was that more than 150 trout salmon were very small. The largest fish is more than 70 centimeters and weighs 4,500 grams. Why is this?

The inspection in 1988 lasted for two months, and Ren Mulian and others concluded that the length of the Zheluo salmon here would not exceed four meters. The sightings seemed to cool down as their expedition ended. Nowadays, in the waters where water monsters were once observed, affected by nearby tourism development, the shuttle of yachts is very likely to affect the normal activities of underwater creatures. Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that the host Luo Salmon exists without being discovered.

On September 27, 2003, a major earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale occurred at the junction of the China-Russia border. Administration officers Selik and Tong Baoming saw the water monster when they sailed to Erdao Bay and felt that the monster was oval in shape and was more than ten meters long without completely leaving the water. Could it be that the earthquake caused the monster that had not been seen for a long time to reappear?

Less than two years later, on June 7, 2005, a group of tourists from Beijing took a boat trip on Kanas Lake. When the boat was traveling near Sandao Bay, they suddenly saw a giant The object swims from the shore to the center of the lake. In the end, it changed from one to two, one in front of the other. The person involved took a video of the monster. From the video, you can vaguely see a shadow under the water. In some scenes, you can also see a triangular-like dorsal fin emerging from the water. If this shadow is really a salmon, and the length is really between 10 and 20 meters, then inferring from the relationship between the weight and body length of growth, a fish of 15 meters has 32 tons. It could totally be like a whale in the ocean.

The important thing is that as the most basic characteristic of a living body, no matter whether it is big or small, it must have metabolism. If the salmon in Kanas can mutate to a length of more than 10 meters, what do they eat?

Furthermore, under normal circumstances, jeluo salmon must migrate to the shallow water in the upper reaches of the lake to breed. However, the rivers in the upper reaches of Kanas are rapids and shoals. Those big fish over ten meters are no matter what. It is also difficult to pass. How do these philosopher turtles reproduce?

In addition, some people speculate that what people saw is a new species. However, every species will have larvae. During many inspections, people did not find any large larvae of new species in Kanas. .

On the one hand, there is sufficient evidence from witnesses at all levels, and on the other hand, there are strong doubts from fish research experts. Who is closer to the truth? How many secrets are hidden at the bottom of the deep lake in Kanas
