There have been reports of monsters in Lake Tianchi since the beginning of the last century, although no one has seen one close up. Some people guess that there might be similar creatures in other lakes, but the scientists are sceptical about it. They all think that Lake Tianchi is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures because of its low temperature.
