ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lake Tianchi Monster

Lake Tianchi is a very big body of water located in China. Some people think there might be a monster living in it. It's kind of like the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland, but it looks different.

The monster in Lake Tianchi is called "Chollima," which means "thousand-mile horse." It's said to be a big, dark creature with a long neck and two humps on its back. Some people think it can even grow up to 10 meters long!

But is Chollima real? Some people say they've seen it, but others think it's just a legend. Scientists have been studying Lake Tianchi to try and find out if there really is a monster there.

They've found that the lake is really deep – up to 384 meters! That's like stacking over 100 basketball hoops on top of each other. There are also a lot of fish and other creatures living in the lake, so it's possible that something big could be living there too.

But so far, no one has been able to prove that Chollima is real. It might just be a fun story that people like to tell. Either way, Lake Tianchi is still a beautiful place to visit and maybe you'll get lucky and spot the monster!
