Mysterious zoology has always been an academic rich in myths and legends, and these mysterious animals can always be seen in the well-known myths and legends. Chinese dragons, Shennongjia wild people, Japanese kappa, British Loch Ness monsters, and even lizardmen, underground people, etc., are all included in the scope of mystical zoology.
And mysterious animals are recognized by humans for their existence is not without precedent, such as the huge squid written by Aristotle, and the Kraken (Norwegian sea monster) in Norse mythology, that is, the "octopus brother" with only a few huge tentacles that can overturn ships, and the largest cephalopod mollusc currently recorded reaches 20 meters, that is, if you stand on the seventh floor, it can also reach in from the first floor to pull you out, and if placed in the conditions of deep sea giganticism, this squid will be even larger.
Cabrosaurus
However, one of the water monsters we call today, the Cabro dragon, is recognized as its existence in the form of "Internet transmission".
Cabrosaurus: Its head resembles a horse, its neck is slender like a python, and it is full of red mane, and it has hump-like protrusions on its back, with turtle-like fin appendages and cetacean-like tail fins, swimming at a very fast speed, and ordinary ships can not catch up with it, its body is huge, up to 20 meters long, and it weighs 1800 kilograms.
The above is the characteristics of the Cabrosaurus on the Internet, and it is also the only water monster with a name at present.
The legend of the Cabrosaurus has been sporadic since the 80s of the 19th century, and the most rumored area of sea monsters is the location near Canada and Washington, D.C., and it can be said that the sea near Canada is the cradle of the "sea monster theory". It is precisely because of the endless legends of this type of sea monster that whenever witnesses find a creature they do not know, they will say that it is a sea monster.
In the history of the world, there have been many sightings of the Cabrosaurus, starting in 1905 and continuing to 2009, all the sightings add up to more than 200. It is also its frequent appearance in the eyes of the world, making him the only water monster recognized by the world.
Although it was forbidden to become refined after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this Cabrosaurus did know how to whet the appetite of mysterious zoologists with the hazy beauty of holding the half-covered face of the lute, but it has not been seen since the last appearance in 2009, when a short ambiguous video was recorded by witnesses.
The video is shaky, and you can see that the photographer's lens has been stretched to the limit, which is why it is so shaky. But this rumored Cabrosaurus doesn't even show its head, how can you be sure that it is a Cabrosaurus? I read little, but my eyesight is good.

The "out of the loop" process of Cabrosaurus
In 1905, a fisherman who went out to fish at sea, when casting a net to fish, found a strange creature in the water, and as the creature gradually surfaced, he saw clearly that it was a long neck with a horse's head and a slender snake-like neck, and a huge body, like a small boat, and the other party found that the fisherman noticed him and swam away quickly.
This was the first Cabrosaurus sighting in history.
In the decades that followed, there were successive incidents of sightings of the Cabrosaurus, but without exception, there was no definitive evidence, such as someone found a suspected Cabrosaurus near the island, or a couple who sailed and found a magical monster with an olive green color staring at them, but soon swam away again.
Can such sightings be the basis for confirming the real existence of a creature?
In 1937, at the Port Naden whaling station in the Queen Charlotte Islands in western Canada, workers found a body similar to the rumored Cabrosaurus in the stomach of a sperm whale, and some enthusiasts of occult zoology immediately promoted the theory that it was the body of the Cabrosaurus.
Although a museum director later identified it as an embryo of a baleen whale, others theorized that it was the carcass of a sturgeon, and Chinese occultists deduced that it was the carcass of a manatee. But enthusiasts still stubbornly believe that it is the body of the Cabro dragon. Even if the last remains are lost for unknown reasons, there are still people who make a model of the remains and exhibit them in the Mysterious Zoological Museum.

Among all the accounts of the Cambrosaurus incident, another influential one is that in 1968 a captain named Hagren claimed to have captured a Cabrosaurus cub, which, according to him, was to be brought back for study, but was finally released back into the sea for fear of death. As soon as the rumor of a live Cabrosaurus cub being captured spread, it caused an uproar in society at that time, but in some subsequent documents, it was also inferred that the so-called Cabrosaurus cub should be a thin-snouted sea dragon.
Looking at this information, you will find that the news about this water monster named Cabrosaurus is derived from people's subjective imagination. What is even more embarrassing is that in the case of modern intelligent technology and such perfect photography facilities, there is no longer the legend of the Cabrodragon, so "the rumors stop at smartphones".

Loch Ness Monster
In addition to this, another well-known monster may be of more interest to you, and that is the famous Loch Ness Monster.
When the Loch Ness Monster was warmly commented on in the early stage, it was said to be a plesiosaur that survived the Mesozoic period, so there were many movies with the Loch Ness Monster as the theme in the early days of the film industry.
In the field of monsters, Japan only has legendary monsters such as Kappa and Tengu, but when a monster corpse from the deep sea below 300 meters was fished, Japanese society immediately boiled, and the fishing incident of the "monster corpse" was the famous "Zuiyo Maru" incident.
In 1977, a fishing boat fished in the deep sea, caught the wreckage of a huge mysterious monster, according to the description of the crew at the time, the huge monster corpse, with a small head, slender neck, large and long tail fin, and fin-shaped appendages, such an image, greatly restored the characteristics of the well-known plesiosaur.
But because the purpose of the captain of the fishing boat at that time was to catch fish, and the huge monster corpse emitted a stench that rushed into the sky, he immediately ordered that the monster corpse be thrown back into the sea.
It is said that a young man who was interning on the ship at that time tried to persuade the captain, but to little effect, he could only retreat and take five precious color photos and some monster body tissues, as well as some detailed pictures of the monster's corpse.
When Mizuyomaru returned to the port afterwards, the photos and details left by the intern immediately caused an uproar in Japan, and many media outlets rushed to report it, but it seemed that no matter how the fish was cept, the monster's body would never be seen again.
And these five precious color photos can fully satisfy the appetite of Japanese scholars at that time, they excitedly believed that near their country, the figure of the monster was finally found, and named it "New Nixi", which means the new Loch Ness monster.
Sketches of sea monster carcasses and skeletons
Afterwards, Japanese scientists carefully analyzed and compared the body tissue of the monster brought back by the intern, and finally obtained the results confirmed that the so-called "New Nixi" was actually the decaying remains of a basking shark. The Japanese sea monsters and mysterious zoologists who were slapped in the face automatically blocked the results of these studies, ignoring the research data, and stubbornly regarded the corpse as the "Loch Ness monster" in Japanese territory.
If someone is stubborn, someone dies to the end.
Basking sharks
In order to confirm that "New Nixi" is a basking shark carcass, scientists used the body of the basking shark as a prototype, after peeling the skin and internal organs, and then removed the jaw of the basking shark, leaving only the upper jaw connected to the slender bone on the neck, and then using a large crane to lift it, almost 100% of the photos taken on the Ruiyo Maru at that time, in order to prove that "New Nixi" is just a highly decaying shark.
Of course, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be drunk, and mysterious zoologists who are enthusiastic about sea monster theory still live in their own imaginary world, refusing to accept the "cruel" reality.

And mysterious zoology, in today's society with such rapid development of science and technology, has gradually been classified into the category of pseudoscience, because in our era, there are more scientific methods to identify the types of these popular mysterious creatures, such as the snow-white marten, white deer, white "black bear" and other legendary "holy objects" in Shennongjia, which are rare albino animals caused by some genetic mutations. Another example is the legend of the devil bird that has haunted the people of Sri Lanka for centuries, but in fact he is just a new breed of owl.
The more you come into contact with these mysterious zoological creatures, the more you will find some known animal shadows from these mysterious animals.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that mystical zoology is not so much unknown as new varieties of undiscovered known animal populations.
Do not believe in rumors, do not follow the trend, do not speculate, and soberly face all kinds of mysterious rumors.
