"Water Monster"

Exploring the unknown is always one of the human curiosity, and the endless sea has made explorers and scientists swoon.

After decades of research and investigation by marine workers, marine organisms have been identified and lists have been compiled, and there are about 15,304 species of marine fish registered, with a pre-estimate of about 20,000 species of marine fish.

The known ocean fish are not yet thoroughly studied, and how many fish exist in the unknown ocean is still a mystery. These unknown marine creatures may overturn the normal perception of people, if we know from the point of view of knowledge, they are likely to be "water monsters".

About the "water monster", there are similar legends around the world, in the country, there are Changbaishan Tianchi water monster, Qinghai Lake water monster, and the most attractive is the Loch Ness monster, it is said that as early as 1500 years ago someone witnessed the Loch Ness water monster, some say he has an elephant trunk, others say there is a long neck round head ...... all kinds of legends a lot, the more said the more mysterious, the more amazing.

Marine biologists from the perspective of scientists, at first thought that the Loch Ness monster is an ancient marine reptile snake neck dragon, because the shores of Loch Ness also found the fossils of ancient snake neck dragon, scientists used sonar detection of the bottom of Loch Ness water, did not find a large biological survival traces.

The British BBC also published many scientific data, finally confirmedconfirming that the Loch Ness Monster does not exist.

The Loch Ness monster does not exist, then the vast ocean, there are no those large creatures? Currently, the world's largest marine life is the blue whale, a length of up to 33 meters, 181 tons, equivalent to a luxury yacht.

The larger the creature, the harsher the living conditions, a blue whale needs to consume 2-5 tons of food a day. Because of the lack of food, some water monster legend is not broken.

In Canada and the United States, on the western border, there is a small island called Vancouver, the island has been circulating the legend of the "big sea serpent", in the twenties of the twentieth century, the locals officially called this creature "sea witch", the legend about it is very much, in the last hundred years It has appeared three times in the last hundred years, and there have been many sightings.

If there were only one or two witnesses, it could be called a hallucination, but even James Thomas Brown, a judge at the Supreme Court of Saskatchewan, claimed to have seen the great sea serpent. Among these witnesses, there are many authorities like him, which makes one wonder if the "Great Sea Snake" really exists.

In October 1937, the Queen Charlotte Island whaling station was packed with a variety of people, a noisy crowd, who had gathered here for one purpose - a whaling ship had discovered the remains of a strange animal.

The animal remains were found in the stomach of a sperm whale, 20 feet (6 meters) long, with a head like a horse's head, a downward curving mouth and nose, and a slender body that looks like a combination of a seahorse and a sea serpent, an animal people have never seen before, but in a form like the legendary great sea serpent.

The whaling station took a few photos and cut out some tissue samples and sent them to the local aquatic authority for analysis, but for the aquatic authority, the big sea snake is just a made-up sea monster, so they did not pay attention to the samples sent.

The samples were always in the miscellaneous room, and when they wanted to test them, the samples were disposed of by the cleaning staff because of the bad smell, and they never knew what kind of animal the samples were sent to.

However, some researchers believe that the sea serpent is a Kaburosaurus based on eyewitness descriptions and comparisons of old photographs.

Whether the Kaburosaurus exists or not has always been a matter of opinion, but people have had sightings of it since its remains were discovered without stopping.

In 1939 a fishing boat once spotted Kaburosaurus, this time also as many as 10 witnesses, this time they saw a large sea serpent bigger, maybe 12 meters long.

In 1968 a whaling ship caught an unknown creature thought to be a Kaburosaurus pup, they did not bring the pup back, which made scientists once again miss the opportunity to study Kaburosaurus up close.

In 1992, some scientists also published a paper on Kaburosaurus, in which Dr. Brende argued that Kaburosaurus was not a dinosaur, but a large sea turtle that had never been discovered before.

The image of turtles with shells, and the body of the slender turtle is the first time heard, his findings also did not attract attention, to this day, Kaburosaurus is still a deep-sea field of mysteries.

There are still all kinds of mysteries in the world, and to know that the Earth was born 4.5 billion years ago, while humans are only a few thousand years of history, in these few thousand years, want to unravel these mysteries is a long way to go.
