Lake Tianchi Monster

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

The first reported sighting was 100+ years ago. In 1903, it was said that a large buffalo creature attacked three people; but was shot 6 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 the neck and the rest of its skin is gray.
