A 10-meter-long
unidentified creature was sighted in Sailimu Lake, near Bole city
in west China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Sunday, June
17, 2007.
An unidentified large water creature was discovered by bike race
competitors on Sunday at Sailimu Lake, the biggest high mountain
lake in west China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The discovery came as the region’s first ever bike race circling
Sailimu Lake entered its third stage of competition on Sunday.
CN Radio quoted witnesses as saying the unidentified creature is
about 10 meters long, and when its back was exposed out of the
water, it looked like the spine of a big fish. The witnesses said
it sank back into water after swimming over 50 meters.
The discovery echoes numerous earlier rumors about a so-called
“water monster” in the lake. But so far no one can prove whether or
not this unidentified creature is in fact the rumored “water
monster”. Records say there has never been any such 10-meter-long
big fish found in the lake.
Identification of the unknown creature still needs to be
verified by scientist investigation.
