Loch Ness Monster: The Loch Ness Monster-sometimes called Nessie-is a creature or group of creatures said to live in Loch Ness, a deep freshwater loch (lake near the city of Inverness in northern Scotland. Nessie is generally categorized as a lake monster. Along with Bigfoot and Yeti, Nessie is perhaps the best-known mystery in crypto zoology. Most mainstream scientists and other experts find current evidence supporting Nessie unpersuasive, and regard such reports as hoaxes or misidentification of mundane creatures. Most accounts of the monster's appearance, including historical ones indicate a creature resembling the long-extinct plesiosaur. Actual fossil evidence for this Mesozoic creature shows it to have been physically large with a long neck and tiny head, with flippers for propulsion. The alleged connection of this creature with the Loch Ness monster has made it popular topic in the field of cryptozoology. However, most scientists suggest that the idea that the Loch Ness Monster is a remnant of the Mesozoic era is highly unlikely - there would need to be a breeding colony of such creatures for there to have been any long-term survival, an coupled with the fact that plesiosaurs needed to surface to breathe, this would result in far more frequent sightings than have actually been reported. Many biologists also argue Loch Ness is not large or productive enough to support even a small family of these creatures. Moreover the Loch was created as the result of geologically recent glaciations and was frozen solid during recent ice-ages.
The Loch Ness Monster is a myth, it has never been seen, all the alleged sightings, photos and film have been scientifically proven to be either fake or of something other than a 'monster'
