Many people think the monster may be a distant cousin of the Loch Ness monster in Scotland.They also think there might be similar creatures in other lakes around the world.Scientists,however,are skeptical7.They say that the low-temperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such another recent sighting,a group of soldiers claimed5 they saw an animal moving on the surface of the water.The soldiers,who were walking along the side of the lake,watched the creature swimming for about two minutes.“It was greenish-black and had a round head with 10-centimeter horns6,” one of the soldiers said.
