What kind of creature is a water monkey and what kind of animal is a water monkey?

The man-eating monster of Mesoamerican mythology, half-man, half-monkey, with a long tail and a hand, is used to grab people at the water's edge, especially the eyes, teeth and nails of cannibals. Sometimes they use their own cries to lead people to the water's edge and catch them.

That is, "water ghost" commonly known as "water monkey", a kind of lurking monster in the water in Chinese folklore, with long hair all over the body, red eyes and black face, it is said that it is a ghost similar to the ghost of the person who drowned in the water, it must be replaced by drowning a person, the water force is incomparable, and there is no power to bind the chicken when going ashore, often changing various objects in the water to attract people to approach, taking the opportunity to drag people into the water to drown, and suck human blood.

"Earth Wind Monkey" is a mistake, and it should be called "Electric Wind Monkey".

It's the same thing as a water ghost.

China has had water ghosts since ancient times, and electric wind monkeys are a species brought from South Asia by the Japanese.

It is said that it is about the size of a puppy on land and looks like it is weak. But when it comes to the water, it moves very quickly, like electricity and wind, and the force is infinite, so it is called "electric wind monkey".

It is good at sucking the blood of people or cattle and sheep and other animals from the soles of its feet, and if it finds a small hole in the soles of the feet of people or animals who go into the water and die, and it is still bleeding, it is the iniquity it has done.

Water monkeys are otters. The scientific name of the water monkey is otter, which is an animal of the family Weaselidae and the genus Otter.

The otter is also very intelligent, small in size, but very strong, can make a big splash underwater, can also dive underwater for a long time, or dive for a long distance, and will sleep on the water, in the water can be described as elusive, and they can bite off the shore of the teacup thick tree, and drag the tree in the water, people only look to see the big tree, it is difficult to see it in the water, so its various deeds are often mistaken for "water ghosts" are doing tricks.

Habitat of otters:Otters live mainly in rivers and lakes, and especially in wooded streams and rivers on both sides. Large areas of marshland, low-lying waters, ponds, and mountainous areas where fish farming is abundant, are also common for otters.

Otters inhabit coastal areas where brackish and freshwater meet, and often go fishing in the sea. As a result, some of the smaller islands near the coast also have otter distributions.

According to the research of scientists, in fact, the water monkey that everyone says is very likely to be an "otter", because the otter has many characteristics, which are very similar to the water monkeys that people say, the otters are secretive, they are very flexible in the water, but the otters who go ashore are more clumsy, so many scientists think that the water ghosts are otters.

Water monkeys take advantage of the fact that people are not paying attention, sneaking to the side of humans and dragging people who fall into the water to the bottom of the water, so many people will push the reason on the water monkeys after drowning, although many people have heard of water monkeys, in fact, they have never seen water monkeys, so there is no scientific basis to prove that there are really water monkeys in the world.

Legend Description:

The "water monkeys" are "water ghosts" and live naturally where there is water. In large rivers and remote mountain ponds and reservoirs, "water monkeys" sometimes "breathe" on the shore.

They generally live in the water, but sometimes they come ashore, and are mostly found in wild water sources such as mountain ponds and reservoirs. Water monkeys are dependent on water, and their limbs are weak after ten minutes of being out of water. In the water, the water monkey is several times more powerful than humans, so if it is held in the water, it is life-threatening.

Folklore has it that water monkeys have great and mysterious power in the water, and can dig under the water to shuttle through different ponds and rivers, catch the person who falls into the water and drag them to the bottom of the water, and cover the victim's seven orifices with silt, causing them to suffocate to death, and even legend has it that the water monkey sucks human blood, eats human nails and eyeballs.

Water monkeys are otters.

According to the field investigation and investigation of scientists, the water monkeys seen by people are most likely otters, which belong to the national second-class protected animals. Most of the water monkeys caught by people are otters, and its appearance is very similar to that of monkeys, so it is called water monkeys.

Otter behaviour:

Otters hide in their burrows during the day and come out at night, and are skilled in swimming and diving. The otter swims very fast, can swim more than 50 meters per minute, and the lifting and steering are very flexible, in the water forward and backward, left and right, roll freely, but also like to swim like a circle, roll up the bottom of the water sediment or small fish in the water, in case of emergency, will jump on the water like a dolphin. Swim underwater for up to 4 to 5 minutes, accustomed to chasing fish in the water.

Otters also have a fixed place for urine. Except for the mating period, they usually live alone. In search of more food, in addition to the breeding season, they also migrate from river to river, or from upper Napei to the lower reaches of the river.

Otters eat 2 to 3 meals a day, often foraging on the surface of water with clear water or less debris, mainly fish, crabs, frogs, etc., accounting for more than 80% of their total feeding, and occasionally eat bridge birds, crustaceans, waterfowl, rodents and small mammals. When encountering schools of fish or schools of waterfowl, they tend to bite in large numbers and eat more than they eat.

Water monkeys are otters.

Otters burrow, rest during the day, come out at night, can mate all year round, give birth to 1-5 litters per litter, mainly inhabit rivers and lakes, especially like to live in the wooded streams and rivers on both sides, with a wide range of distribution, Asia, Europe, and Africa have their traces.

Habits. Otters hide in their burrows during the day and come out at night. Except during the mating period, they usually live alone. In search of more food, in addition to the breeding season, migrations are also frequent, from one river to another, or from upstream to downstream.

The otter is skilled, good at swimming and diving, the soft body and thick tail can reduce the resistance of movement in the water, swim in the forelimbs close to the body, use the hind limbs and tail to push the water, but also play the role of the rudder, so that the body is undulating in waves, the posture is very similar to that of an eel. Swim fast.

It can swim up to 50 meters per minute, and it is very flexible in lifting and steering, and in case of emergency, it jumps on the surface of the water like a dolphin. They have a keen sense of hearing, vision, and smell, and can close the valves of their nostrils and ears on their own in water to prevent water from flowing in. When swimming close to the water, they are accustomed to exposing their heads, backs, and tails, so they are often mistaken for water monsters.

The water monkey is a legendary creature that looks like an ape but lives in the water. In reality, there are no such creatures as water monkeys, but in prehistoric times, there were many creatures that looked like water monkeys and lived like water monkeys, and sea sloth beasts were one of them.

Sea sloths are larger, with the smallest species measuring more than 2 meters from head to toe, and the largest species can reach meters. If there is one animal that is similar to the sea sloth among today's animals, it must be the sloth, in fact, the sloth is the closest relationship to the sea sloth among the living animals.

The last years

Over millions of years, sea sloths have evolved into multiple species. Planktonic sea sloths belong to a relatively early type. About 3 million years ago, sea sloths were larger and more than 3 meters long.

It was also during this time that the Panama Land Bridge between North and South America was completely formed, blocking the warm ocean currents from the other side of the continent. The sloth's life has been greatly impacted: their poor thermoregulation makes it difficult for them to adapt to temperature changes, and the lack of food in the living area is exacerbated.

The sloth, which is not a strong swimmer, is clearly not ready for long-distance migration, and has come to an end.
