Qinghai Lake is the biggest inland salt-water lake with 3,000 meters above sea level and is also the biggest lake in the country. It is a desolate palace since long time ago, but it has many legendary stories. The report about a strange animal in the Qinghai Lake in recent decades makes this lake more mysterious.
In June 1955, a scientist, accompanied by a team of PLA men, made an investigation on the lake by an amphibious vehicle. The class monitor Li Xiao’ an firstly found a big animal with 10-metre length, 2-metre width in the water; it looked like a shark with a color mixed by black and yellow.
In January 1960, when fishing on the lake, some fisher men saw a big black object looking like the back of turtle or whale, emerging above the water surface several times.
On 23rd May, 1982, some fisher men of Qinghai Lake Farm encountered the strange animal again. But they only saw a 13-meter back without its head and tail. They had recorded their seeing in detail.
What is that in the Qinghai Lake? The view that the strange animal is a plesiosaur or a big fish is disproved by people. What actually this animal is has aroused many scientists’ interests.
