Are there any lake cows in Qinghai?

Yuze Mountain Area in jiuzhi county, Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province is a beautiful place with 108 lakes, rich aquatic plants and endless wild animals. There is a legend here that in these large and small lakes, there are supreme lake gods. They are like some blue-gray yaks, shining with touching luster. Sometimes they swim peacefully in the middle of the lake, sometimes they quietly dive into the bottom of the lake, and sometimes they go ashore and stroll on the grass on the shore. Although it is a legend, many local people believe that there is a lake god, and many people claim to have seen it with their own eyes, calling it a lake cow.

According to Anbedoye, deputy secretary-general of the Political Consultative Conference of Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, one summer night when he was 18 years old, hounds suddenly barked outside his tent, and he was awakened with his family. They hurried out of the tent to see what had happened. In the bright moonlight, there are more than 20 animals that look like cows on Lake Buha. They emit light blue light, wander around, and bow their heads to eat grass by the lake from time to time. They are very strange. I don't know. Unexpectedly, this group of cattle-like animals saw someone running, immediately turned around and ran into the lake, swam to the middle of the lake and disappeared in a broken wave. Ambedoje also said that several cows in his family's herd are the offspring of Hu cattle and yak. They have short curly and shiny blue hair, two split hooves and short horns on their heads, which makes them short-lived and infertile.

1On the morning of July 23rd, 984 1 1 or so, several cadres of the Standing Committee of jiuzhi county People's Congress passed through Risangcuo Lake. When they didn't reach the lake, they found three light blue cows walking on the grass, smaller than yaks. When they approached, three frightened cows jumped into the lake and swam to the middle of the lake like fish, which surprised them greatly.

Obviously, Hu Niu is an unidentified animal, which mainly moves in water and has some basic characteristics of cattle. However, its scientific attributes, physiological structure and population characteristics are still an unsolved mystery.
