Since the beginning of the world, man has always speculated about the existence of other beings that could prove dangerous for the humans. We are indeed right in our speculation because a number of mysterious creatures and beings have been spotted in different areas.
The leading researcher in this regard is the famous biologist Jeremy Wade who has spent many years in exploring the existence of these river monsters. He has characterized them also as River Monsters Not all the animals are mysterious in this regard because they are aptly different in their biological makeup. Below is the list of Top 10 River Monsters.
10. Congo killer
The river of Congo is the only river which Jeremy wade has never completely explored. The research was initiated in the river on the reports of many fishermen that there was a monster dragging fishermen out of their boats and eating them alive. Many dead bodies have also been recovered from the crime scene. The villagers who were interviewed continuously asserted many irrational explanations about the birth of the monster in their river. Research work showed that three species were suspected in this regard known to be Vundu Catfish, Kamba and Tsuni Catfish. They can grow in sizes and can be pretty dangerous for humans.
9. Killer Snakehead
This river monster has the ability to walk on land and also swim in water. It can breathe in any environmental condition. The most dangerous feature of this monster is its razor sharp teeth that can kill anyone in a matter of seconds. In exploring this monster he came across a giant snakehead which was indeed the largest of them all. There was not the slightest doubt that people were indeed dying due to a murderous river monster.

This monster animal has killed dozens of individuals in the rivers of many localities. A number of attacks have been reported in the Australian Rivers.
5. Amazon Flesh Eater
This monster came under the focus of the researchers when a fisherman was reported of being swallowed in South America. The exploration revealed that there was not only one monster, but indeed there was a complete class of killers. These killers come in all sizes and some are so small that they enter the body of human beings and eat them slowly from the inside. But the original flesh eater is spreading the most chaos. Piranhas are the one known to be the flesh eaters found in the Amazon. You can also see the movie ‘Piranha’ where they move in packs and are of different sizes. They are attracted by human flesh and blood and can kill a man within seconds. Payara is another kind of Amazon flesh eaters.

Many killings have been reported in Brazil and now the researchers believe that this animal eats a person alive and slowly digests it. This monster has been referred by the name because of the fact that it hunts like a trained assassin whose primary motive is just to kill. Also called Arapaima!
