This summer, water has become a hot topic of blame.

This two months, open any one portal site, can be found a quantity of water in strange news — — "hunhe Monster coming out, stir up to 30 meters long waves", "Henan zhumadian tongshan Lake discovered 100 washing water Monster" and "Guangzhou huadu Furong reservoir discovered 3 metre long man-eating Tong lice" and "anshun yelang Lake two monster figure photographed by visitors ..." Coupled with the fact that in recent years it has never gone before blaming the tianchi water and Xinjiang kanas water monster, is a "collection of Chinese water monsters."

Have a whale of a mighty strange

In all versions of water strange events, water Monster is an animal, but considerable block header.

Maximum water Monster is zhumadian tongshan Lake man: "quiet water on a black back, high out of the water almost two feet wide, there are more than a foot deep lakes of two dams have long distance between a 20 m". After the reporter measuring two dams with a 100 m distance. While the movement most powerful than kanas, water monster has seen the witnesses said unknown object jump out of the water about 20 meters. Not long winged animal, it seems not yet who can jump to the height.

The size of the animal is affected by a number of objective law restrictions.

The most fundamental constraints is the energy supply. If you have a whale of a mighty strange, so big it has big appetite. The animal's weight with their body is proportional to the cube, the animal's metabolic rate and weight of 3/4 time proportional to the square, appetite and metabolism rate, that is proportional to the animal's food intake and body length of 4-th power. If tongshan Lake Monster really have over 100 metres long, this giant fish food, while raising $ 1 m large fish.

Large

capacity also need large sites. All of the large animals require sufficient living space. Water monsters also as a kind of meat eating even the man-eating wild animals. If you are a vegetarian, problems also simpler. Generally, vegetarians than meat to a number. It's not that the benefits of a vegetarian diet in publicity, which is determined by the characteristics of the food chain. In the reality of bio in the chain, starting from the plants to large carnivores, often after three or four sessions. Originally those solar does not yield to pass to the predators, each level, only less than 10% of the energy transfer. A small lake, to feed one (or even dozens) huge meat, possibility to almost zero.

Be misunderstandings of appearance

So, those are called water strange things, what exactly is it? in most water monsters who report, we can only get the shadow, black point, corrugated, spray that describes a close-up grew: "seems to be falling two ears, face, flat square ...

Neck underneath is white ... Who is certainly not squamous cell, presumably have fur like this kind of thing ". This is a witness to the tianchi water monsters. Unfortunately, this is clearly an Asiatic black bear, particularly its flagship feature: chest of Crescent of white. If you go to the Zoo to see black bears, believe will agree with me restore — especially the Changbai mountain area is home to black bears, let alone bears the blind is a famous swimming.

As water Monster photo disappointing.

Photos of animals always some strange looks, but it is not unusual for aquatic animals. If it is a coastal fishermen catch water monster, ten to five or six is Bluegill. The other is often mistaken for water monster fish including bird-eel, Spike and fish as well as the body cavity of a large catfish, and so on. More unusual is the network of the so-called "huadu man-eating Tong lice". "Tong lice" is the catfish Guangdong people on the call. Inthe related articles in the dispensing of a picture, we can see a few meters long, wide mouth, small eyes, brown skin is covered with white flecks, squamous cell, also does not seem to look like a big catfish. However you look at it in the gills will find that it simply did not have Gill cover, only a few road branchial cleft. This however is a plankton eaters of the whale shark. Don't say, and it doesn't even eat fish.

People's imagination seems to be endless.

People's imagination is limited. Since the discovery of a snake-necked Dragon this paleontology, the world's leading water monster, Loch in Dmanisi, or ISE pills on the Kutaisi, snake-necked Dragon for samples. On the odd the interested person can look at the BBC filmed documentary deep sea ecosystems (DeepBlue). Through it, you probably won't understand that only those who live in the deep ocean, the body odd creatures deserve "water Monster".
