Diving into the Deep Mysteries of the Loch Ness Monster

The Anatomy of a Monster

Descriptions of Nessie vary widely, but most agree on a few key characteristics: a long neck, a large body, and one or more humps that protrude from the water. Some compare Nessie to a plesiosaur, a type of dinosaur thought to have gone extinct 65 million years ago. Others suggest that Nessie could be a giant eel or sturgeon. These theories, while intriguing, raise further questions. Could a prehistoric creature really have survived in Loch Ness for millennia? Or are we simply misinterpreting sightings of common, albeit large, aquatic animals?
