There are legends about water monsters all over the world, but when it comes to cannibal water monsters, we have to mention India's' tank duck beak '. This kind of water monster, which widely appears in the great Kali River and reservoirs in India, is very large and has preyed on humans many times in history, so it is also known as the giant catfish.
For many years, mysterious water monsters have been rumored to lurk in the great Kali River and surrounding reservoirs on the border between India and Nepal. Local residents said that the mysterious water monster has gradually changed from aimless foraging for food and looking for human bodies thrown into the river after the Indian cremation ceremony to living people squatting in the river and swallowing in the river for swimming and bathing.
Scientists believe that the 'mysterious water monster' mentioned by residents is likely to be the giant catfish 'tank duck beak'. It is reported that 'tank duck's beak' is an Indian water monster and one of the largest freshwater fish species in the world. It is 1.5-1.8 meters long and even 2.5 meters long. It weighs more than 73 kg and has inverted teeth in its mouth.
Some experts speculate that the tank duckbill has been swallowing the half cooked human corpse that was thrown into the river after cremation, then fell in love with human flesh, and finally evolved into directly dragging the living into the water, and then devouring it in one gulp.
In April 1988, a 17-year-old Nepalese boy was eaten alive by the Indian water monster tank duckbill. A few years ago, the tragedy happened again. An 18-year-old Nepalese was dragged down the river by the water monster and disappeared. A few months later, another boy was dragged down the river by the tank duckbill in front of his frightened mother.
