Sadly many researchers are starting to believe climate changes that are occurring in the Loch may have killed Nessie (the name given to the monster) as there have been no credible sightings in over a year.
What is the Loch Ness monster?
The Loch Ness is believed to be many things but is commonly categorized as a Plesiosaur. A Plesiosaur is an aquatic reptile that went extinct the same time as the rest of the dinosaurs. Although this probably what most people think Nessie is, scientist say that it would almost be an impossibility. Assuming a few Plesiosaurs escaped extinction the Loch is not a sufficient food source. Also the way the head comes up from the water, the Plesiosaur could not hold its neck in that classic swan looking position. Another thing is the Loch would be too cold to house the beast as well. There would also be more sightings being that a plesiosaur breaths air.
There have been other theories on what this beast really is, some say it’s a huge eel. Eels do live in the loch and it’s not impossible, certain eels can go on land wiggling back and forth giving off the illusion it is walking. Still it doesn't explain the head and neck coming out of the water.
