It was the most extensive study ever carried out on the UK's largest body of fresh water.
ShareScientists examining Loch Ness announced on Thursday that the Scottish lake's fabled monster could actually be a giant eel, after significant amounts of eel DNA were found in numerous tests of the lake's water.
It was the most extensive study ever carried out on the United Kingdom's largest body of fresh water, with 250 samples taken and examined. Researchers from New Zealand set out to catalogue all living species in the loch by extracting DNA from water samples. The aim of the research was actually not to find the"monster," commonly known as"Nessie," but to improve knowledge of what plants and animals live in Loch Ness.
A popular photo of the Loch Ness Monster taken in 1934 abides in the public conscious as the image of the"monster." The photograph was allegedly taken by Colonel Robert Kenneth Wilson—though it was laterby one of the participants on his deathbed. More than 1,000 people claim to have seen"Nessie" and the lake in the Scottish Highlands is, consequently, a popular tourist attraction.

Some Twitter users jokingly refused to believe the announcement on Thursday, others just made memes on hearing the news.
