Loch Ness

Though the hoaxes of the footprint, there have still been sightings of the loch ness monster. Most of these descriptions say of a large creature with a long neck and humps coming out of the water. Others say of a creature with flippers. Then they started expeditions to find this monster. In one of the expeditions they used sonar (technology that uses sound the search water). They found in these expeditions that the sonar’s detected a large moving object that doesn’t have a scientific reason for. Here is the sonar picture. >>>> Finding this they decided to set a trap for the loch ness monster. The trap they were going to use was called side scan sonar, as they would scan from shore to shore of the lake using sonar. They put cameras in the water that took pictures every 45 seconds. And in 1975 the sonar again picked up a large moving creature with flippers. This was a giant leap towards the mystery of the loch ness monster.

A man called Sir Peter Scott said that this creature with flippers was a plesiosaur which is a dinosaur that was thought to be extinct 65 million years ago. But this idea was not accounted for by zoologists because it was ridiculous that a dinosaur could be alive. But loch ness (the lake) never freezes or gets very warm so if the dinosaurs died of the ice age this lake could of saved this monster. So now we can say that the loch ness monster is a large reptile like beast with flippers and a long neck.

But in many pictures of the loch ness monster are fakes or normal objects or animals. The most convincing picture of the loch ness monster is the surgeon’s picture shown here.

But this could have been a toy submarine, an elephant, a manatee even a giant squid proboscis were one of the possible explanations. Of coarse these may sound far-fetched but even scientist wonder what loch ness could be.

So any picture of the loch ness monster could be a fake or mistaken for something else like a log. But this doesn’t mean there isn’t a monster in loch ness. Many adventures and monster hunters set off to find this beast but for now the mystery of the loch ness monster is unsolved.
