Monsters In The Lake

A long long time ago, someone in Scotland claimed that there is a monster in the lake. That claim has made that lake a tourist attraction to this day. There's even a man who quit his job and camp by the lake just to catch a glimpse of Loch Ness or as it is widely known today, Nessie, the monster residing in the lake. Many has refuted that claim that there is indeed a monster in the lake, saying that it's a hoax, and that the person that made that claim, said it just to gain publicity. This remains a myth to this day.


However, locally,in recent years, people start claiming that there are monsters in the lakes in our country. Not so long ago, there are reports in the newspapers that anglers who went fishing in the lakes drowns because they have been "thrown" into the lake while fishing. What has caused the anglers to fall overboard? Some expert anglers claimed that it's the huge fishes that reside in the lakes.


Are there really monsters in the lakes? Or are these just stories told for fun? Be it true or false, the monsters in lakes might very well be gigantic fishes. There was this photo (below) in the papers of three men carrying a huge, monstrous, hideous looking creature that resembles a shark. The article carried a title like "Monsters In Our Lakes", or something similar to that.




The photo of the "monster" in the lake. What a hideous looking creature. I applaud these men for having the courage to hunt down these monsters.


There was a documentary on National Geography about sharks venturing into shallow waters, and attacking people in the river in India. Researchers went to India to conduct that research. They interviewed the victims that has been bitten and survived the attacks. The researchers asked the victims whether they were attacked by crocodiles or sharks, and were told that it was sharks. Thinking that the traumatised victims have confused a crocodile with a shark, the researchers drew pictures of a crocodile and a shark and asked the victims to point out which animal was it that has attacked them. All victims pointed at the shark picture. How is it possible for a salt water fish to live in fresh water? Err...someone kindly answer this question.


My point is, could the "shark" that ventured into the river be possibly the monster-like gigantic fish shown in the picture above, instead? Looking at the "monstrous fish's" appearance which resembles a shark, the victims when being attacked, were pretty much terrified. They might have thought that it's a shark, when it is in fact a monster fish. To simplify, the victims might have been attacked by a gigantic fish that resembles a shark. The answer to my queries could only be given by researchers that hunt these monster out. Just an entry on my curiosity.
