Lariosauro is a cryptid reported to live in Lake Como in Italy, about 30 miles north of Milan. Como is one of the deepest European lakes, at about 410 m (1200 feet) at the deepest location In 1946, eyewitnesses allegedly reported seeing a reptile-like animal swimming in the waters of the lake. It was called ''lariosauro'', the same name used a century before to name a prehistoric reptile whose fossilized remains were found by the lake (''Lariosaurus balsami''). A weekly of Como, a week after the first article, wrote it was a sturgeon, but the sturgeon as well as the monster appear to be more simply a hoax invented by the press. There were other sightings, or alleged sightings, in Lake Como. * In 1954 in Argegno a creature with round muzzle and back and webbed paws. * In August 1957 an enormous monster in the waters between Dongo and Musso. * In September 1957 a strange animal whose head was described as similar to a crocodile head. * In 2003 a giant eel, 10–12 m long, in Lecco. Skeptic researcher Giorgio Castiglioni, who studied these cases, thinks that the animal of 1954 was an otter, the monster of August 1957 a hoax, the beast of September 1957 possibly a pike and the 2003 eel actually a group of fish swimming together. == External links == * (Giorgio Castiglioni, ''Il lariosauro tra fantasia e zoologia'' (in Italian) ) * (video youtube, ''alla ricerca del mostro di Loch ness, il lariosauro'' (in Italian with English and other languages caption) ) it:Mostro lacustre#Lago di Como 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lariosauro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
