The Loch Ness Monster
For thousands of years sailors have
claimed of large mysterious animals lurking in the waters. But what the sailors are
describing nobody knows, could they have made it up or are they real? The Loch Ness
monster is a mystical creature that lives in the LOCH NESS which is located in northern
Scotland.
The first sighting of this
legendary monster was by Saint Columbia who claimed that he saw the monster and he was
part of the burial of a man who was bitten by this mystical creature.
It was only until 1933 that people
realized maybe there really is a monster and a full scale investigation was launched which
attracted alot of media speculation. It was in that year that a couple who were
driving past the lake believed that they had seen a "surging in the water, and an
enormous animal rolling and plunging about".
Since that day there has been a
widespread interest in the creature and many people have tried to find evidence of the
creatures existence. The fact is that monsters have interested and fascinated the
minds of peoples for hundreds of years. The
nick-name of the Loch-Ness Monster is Nessie.
Many scientists and scholars
believe that this monster doesn't exist for the simple reason that all of the present
evidence is circumstantial. I Picasso, however do believe that it is possible for
this monster to exist. The scientists who believe that she might exist believe that
she is not really a monster but just a mammal that is very large in nature like a squid,
or sea otter. In Alaska for instance one sea otter was measured at 10.6 metres.
The question arises is Nessie a
prehistoric animal like the dinosaur who has mysteriously been able to survive.
Descriptions of Nessie are similar to the dinosaur known as the PLESIOSAUR.
Scientists agree that plesiosaurs once lived near this particular area, but they say they
died out over 70 million years ago.
Some geologists think that this is one explanation of how Nessie might have come into existence.
No one will be sure what Nessie
looks like until she is caught. However to catch her is a daunting task.
Besides from the fact that she is big, the lake is very dark and misty. The first
person to take a photo of Nessie was a scottish man named Hugh Grant. His picture
was unclear but still posed questions which needed to be answered.
Here are some pictures below. Take
a look and tell me what you think
