Still Waters Posted September 14, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Here's some info about the video. Quote The snake-like creature evidently wasn't shy; this footage was captured at the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area, a popular tourist spot in Yichang City. Reports suggest it was as thick as an average adult human's thigh - an accurate unit of measurement if ever there was - and was estimated to to be at least 10 feet long. It certainly seems like a powerful animal, swimming against the river current with ease. Nearly two million people have watched the clip since it was made public and, as expected, theories abound as to just what the slithering monster could be. One social media one user wrote: "That must be a water snake." As to the most rational explanation? Well, while Yichang forestry officials have so far declined to comment, it's most likely to be a Burmese python - a snake common to the area and, while they largely spend their time on land, are also excellent swimmers. https://www.ladbible.com/news/animals-viral-mystery-sea-monster-spotted-in-chinese-river-20190913 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted September 14, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Yeah, I'd agree it is at least 10 feet (3 m) long. Though it appears to me that the "head" end of the thing never moves, which lead me to believe @Iilaa'mpuul'xem is correct, and it is just garbage stuck on a log, or something. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dewlanna Posted September 17, 2019 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Id' say it looks like a giant catfish. I remember Jeremy Wade doing a one of his episodes on the Mekong catfish, I'm at work so no access to maps or anything, but when catfish swims, the head tends to stay reasonably still while the body moves..

Socio Posted September 21, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 21, 2019 From what I have read China has some of the most polluted waterways in the world I doubt a Nessy or anything else for that matter could live in that water. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orphalesion Posted September 21, 2019 #14 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) It's China.Some sort of floating garbage was the first thing I thought of considering how polluted much of their rivers are.

God no, not in china, they would just kill it and carve it up and sell it saying it helps with erectile dysfunction or some other crap. They have no respect for life.
