Lake Tianchi Monster Wikipedia

The Lake Tianchi Monster is an alleged "sea monster" which dwells in Lake Tianchi, within the Changbai Mountains of Jilin Province, China, not far from the North Korean border. Some reports argue that there is not a monster, but an estimated 20 monsters.

The first reported sighting was in 1903. It was claimed that a large Bubalus|buffalo-like creature attacked three people, but was shot six times. The monster then retreated under the water.

More recent reports describe the monster as having a human-like head attached to a 1.5m neck. It is said to have a white ring around the bottom of its neck, and the rest of its skin is gray.
