First of all, in the breeding season, the skin of Hucho taimen is reddish brown. Secondly, among the above four kinds of fish, Hucho taimen is the fiercest and largest. Judging from the captured specimens about 1.45 meters long, this fish is long and narrow, with a flat head and sharp teeth. Even the upper and lower palates and tongue are covered with barbs, biting food, and it is difficult for food to escape. After checking with many "monster" witnesses, most people think that what they see is probably a big fish, and the black image in the water is the back of the fish.
However, even after Kanas monster was identified as Hu Qiao's big fish, there were still some unexplained problems. First of all, so far, the length of Hucho taimen caught from Kanas Lake is less than 3 meters, so it is impossible to prove that there will be big fish with a body length of 10 meter in the lake. In addition, does Kanas Lake have the ecological conditions for the existence of giant fish? Hucho taimen is a salmonidae fish, and an important feature of salmonidae fish is migration during the breeding season. Kanas Lake is a river-crossing berth, and the upstream and downstream rivers are relatively narrow, especially the part connected with the lake area, which is mostly rocky shoals. How did the big fish get through?
On September 27th, 2003, around 7 pm, Selik and his colleagues took a motorboat to inspect the lake. When the motorboat was driving to Erdaowan, a huge wave came, and a huge black object jumped out of the water for about 20 meters ... (Note: On September 27th, 2003, an earthquake of magnitude 7.9 occurred on the border of Russia, Mongolia and China, and the abnormal behavior of the monster may be related to this. )
