Two official Chinese newspapers reported in 1980 that unknown life forms had been sighted in lakes in Manchuria and Tibet. The first report, appearing in the Peking Evening News, stated that a strange creature resembling a dinosaur had been seen on a number of occasions in Wenbu Lake in a remote part of Tibet.
Once it allegedly seized and swallowed a yak that had paused at the lakeshore to graze. Lending credence to the tale is the fact that it was told by a local Communist Party official, who said that he had been taking the yak to market when the incident occurred.
Other sightings, according to reports in the Peking Evening News, were made at a crater lake near the peak of a mountain in northeastern Jilin province. Visitors to the crater and the staff of a nearby weather station claimed to have seen a creature with a head shaped like a cow's head but much bigger, and a flat beak shaped like a duck's. They said the creature traveled at a speed that churned up a wake like that of a motorboat.
In late 1980 the Guangming Daily reported that a respected Chinese author named Lei Jia had twice seen a lake creature in the Changbai mountain region of Manchuria. The author said that the unknown animal looked like a black reptile about two yards in length, with a long neck and oval head. Three local weather bureau officials announced that they had also seen it. They shot at it and missed, and the creature disappeared. (Fate, 34:60, September 1981)
