At about 7: 50 pm on June 7, 2005, seven tourists who were sightseeing in Kanas Lake arrived near Sandaowan in Kanas Lake by yacht. They found that the water surface about 200 meters away from the yacht caused waves with a height exceeding 1 meter. Two unidentified objects with a visual length of about 10 meter swam in tandem from west to east towards the center of the lake. Kanas Lake, located in the northern border area of Xinjiang, is not only famous for its beautiful scenery.
At about 7: 50 pm on June 7, 2005, seven tourists who were sightseeing in Kanas Lake arrived near Sandaowan in Kanas Lake by yacht. They found that the water surface about 200 meters away from the yacht caused waves with a height exceeding 1 meter. Two unidentified objects with a visual length of about 10 meter swam from west to east in tandem, leaving a waterline similar to a speedboat on the lake. In about two minutes. After seeing this anomaly, some tourists immediately captured this strange sight with their portable cameras. On June 8th, the "Lake Monster" reappeared in Kanas Lake, less than 17 hours from the last time.
Some people think it is a giant dahongyu.
As for Kanas Lake, there are many legends about the "Lake Monster" among local herders, saying that their cattle fell into the lake and were eaten by the "Lake Monster".
On August 1985, 1 1 Sunday, Xinjiang Daily published an eye-catching news on the front page: "Giant Dahongfish Found in Kanas Lake. The fish head is more than one meter wide, the length of the fish is about 10 to 15 meters, and the weight exceeds 4 tons ... "
1987, a scientific expedition entered Kanas Lake to explore the mystery of "Lake Monster". After two years' investigation, a huge school of fish consisting of thirty or forty dahongfish was found, each fish was about three or four meters long. The expedition later announced that the mystery of Kanas "Lake Monster" had been uncovered, and Dahongyu, known as the "Lake Monster", was the giant hucho salmon.
In fact, Hucho and Dahong are the same kind of fish. Hucho taimen is a rare cold-water carnivorous fish in the north, which is fierce in nature and hides in the water all the year round. In the breeding season, this fish is reddish brown, so it is also called Dahongyu. This fish is long and narrow, with a flat head and sharp teeth. Once the food is bitten, it is difficult to escape. Studies have shown that the giant hucho salmon weighs about 2 to 3 tons and often eats waterfowl such as wild ducks floating on the surface of the water, as well as otters and mice in the lake.
The "Lake Monster" may have other identities.
However, not everyone thinks that "Lake Monster" is a giant hucho. Hucho is a kind of salmon, and its important feature 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?
Some experts believe that this large creature described by witnesses needs food and specific environmental conditions to survive. However, Kanas Lake, as an inland alpine lake, has extremely low temperature, and the growth rate of fish in the lake is very slow, so it is impossible to grow to more than 10 meter.
Zhu Liping, a researcher at the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Institute of China Academy of Sciences, believes that the unknown creatures found on Kanas Lake can't be called "lake monsters" or fish, but may be dolphins or other biological species. Living in a lonely deep-water lake becomes particularly big.
Is it possible that Kanas monster is a kind of monster that has not been discovered by human beings, a monster similar to prehistoric crocodiles or dinosaurs? Experts verified that no dinosaur remains were found near Kanas. Moreover, dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, while Kanas Lake has a history of only 200,000 years, which has nothing to do with space and time. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that some ancient species survived in Kanas after migration. Leave a waterline like a speedboat, and you will be out of sight in about 2 minutes.
