Scientists conducted DNA testing of Scotland’s famed Loch Ness, and now believe its fabled monster could have been a giant eel—and definitely not a dinosaur by lisettevoytko
The DNA was collected from water samples by scientists at New Zealand’s University of Otago. After analyzing the samples, scientists determined that a large amount of eel DNA was present. They conjecture that the myth of the Loch Ness monster, nicknamed “Nessie,” may have in fact sprung from a giant eel in its waters.
“We can’t exclude the possibility that there’s a giant eel in Loch Ness, but we don’t know whether these samples we’ve collected are from a giant beast or just an ordinary one. So there’s still this element of ‘we just don’t know,” said geneticist and professor Neil Gemmel.and not specifically searching for proof of the Loch Ness monster.
No reptilian DNA was found in the water samples. But scientists determined that approximately 3,000 different species do live in Loch Ness.The legend of the Loch Ness monster dates back to the 6th century, when Irish monk St. Columba wrote of a “water beast” dwelling in its depths. A 1934 photo, called the “surgeon’s photo,” is the most famous image of the Loch Ness monster on record. It was later determined to be a hoax, consisting of a model dinosaur head mounted on a toy submarine.
