Is there a Loch Ness monster in the world?

1969, it was claimed that a monster about 15 meters long was also seen in Lake Mora near Loch Ness. Lake Mora does not face the sea at all, and the depth is about 3 10 meter. So, are the monsters in nearby Lake Mora and Loch Ness the same animal? This is another mystery. 1At dawn on June 23rd, 978, Wright fished by the Nice Lake and saw the monster with his own eyes. Wright said: "I was shocked when it rose in the water only about 27 meters away from me." He also said that the monster's body is black, just like a capsized ship. Its neck is at least 4 meters long and its head is about the size of a football. The news caused a sensation all over the world. Journalists, explorers, travelers and scientists from many countries traveled thousands of miles to Loch Ness, hoping to see this monster, but no one saw it, so everyone had to leave disappointed. Later, another American scholar who tried to prove the existence of the Loch Ness monster, Bezo, president of the American Society of Hidden Animals, declared that he had "discovered the Loch Ness monster". Is this news really reliable? It has yet to be confirmed, and it is difficult to be sure. In fact, since ancient times, although many people claim to have witnessed this monster with their own eyes, they can only roughly outline some fragments of the monster above the water, and can't accurately tell the whole picture of the monster, because no one has seen the complete monster. In the past two decades, some divers have dived into the bottom of Loch Ness, but it is difficult to distinguish it clearly underwater because the lake is too turbid. Some use submarines and get nothing; Some use automatic photography devices, or in vain; Some use dolphins to help explore, because dolphins have very sensitive sonar systems, and they can accurately distinguish aquatic organisms within 3000 meters no matter day or night. But because Loch Ness is a freshwater lake, dolphins are not suitable for activities in freshwater lakes. Therefore, although dolphins are the cleverest marine animals, there is nothing they can do about the Loch Ness monster. [Edit this paragraph] Guess ◆ Is the Loch Ness monster a century-old eel? The Loch Ness monster in Scotland is one of the most famous legends in the world. Every year, it attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world, hoping to see the true face of monsters. It is said that the Loch Ness Monster was recorded 500 years ago. After more than ten centuries, there are more than ten thousand kinds of such news. For decades, the British have been arguing about whether there are monsters in Loch Ness. Recently, however, it turns out that the monster in Loch Ness is a few infertile "eunuch eels". Freeman, a scientist specializing in this kind of research, said that according to the existing photos of the monster, the Loch Ness monster is actually several old eels seven or eight meters long. He thinks that several eels in Loch Ness have lived for about 1000 years. Freeman said that eels in Loch Ness usually swam into the Atlantic Ocean at the age of 10, and swam to Florida to lay eggs and die of old age. However, some of them have become infertile "eunuch eels". Because these eels don't lay eggs, some may not dare to venture into the sea, while others stay in Loch Ness. The eels left in Loch Ness have no natural enemies, so they grow bigger and bigger, and finally become what many people call "water monsters". ◆ The Loch Ness Monster may be a direct descendant of the ancient plesiosaur? According to a number of British media reports, a 67-year-old British man recently discovered a plesiosaur fossil 65.438+0.5 billion years ago on the shores of Lake Nice. The discovery of new dinosaur fossils confirms that dinosaurs lived and multiplied on the shores of Lake Ness as early as the Jurassic period, and the so-called "Loch Ness Monster", which frequently appeared in the past century and troubled the whole scientific community, is probably the descendant of the ancient plesiosaur! According to reports, the newly discovered fossil is four vertebrae of a dinosaur, which are gray, and the spinal tendons and blood vessels that have become limestone can be clearly seen on them. This dinosaur fossil was discovered by a 67-year-old British man, Gerald McSory, in a shallow water in Loch Ness. On June 5438+05, scientists from the National Museum of Scotland confirmed that this is indeed a bone vertebra fossil of a plesiosaur in the Jurassic period, and it is the first ancient dinosaur fossil found on the shores of Nice Lake in England. It confirmed that an ancient marine killer with a length of 35 feet, plesiosaur, once lived in the Loch Ness area. ◆ Shortly before the scam was exposed, many media in the world quoted the British Daily Telegraph in July 16 as saying that the Scottish "Loch Ness Monster" which had been publicized for thousands of years has now been confirmed-an old British man accidentally discovered a plesiosaur fossil in Loch Ness 654.38+500 million years ago, and the legendary Loch Ness Monster is probably the descendant of the ancient plesiosaur. But after analysis, scientists came to the conclusion that although the whole story is true and the fossils are true, it is just another scam. It is reported that the real plesiosaur fossil was discovered by Gerald mcsorley, a 67-year-old retired waste buyer, who was swimming in Loch Ness when he suddenly tripped over something. He dived down and picked up a stumbling block. I didn't expect it to be four ancient animal spine fossils. Scientists at the National Museum of Scotland confirmed that those fossils were indeed the bones and vertebrae of ancient plesiosaurs. Plesiosaurs lived in the Jurassic period from 200 million years ago to 65 million years ago, and it was 1 1 meter long from beginning to end, and once ruled the ocean. Their necks are long and snake-like, hence the name plesiosaur. For this fossil, Loch Ness monster fans quickly deduced a story: 65 million years ago, a plesiosaur took refuge in Loch Ness, thus avoiding the catastrophe. Now the Loch Ness monster is a direct descendant of the ancient plesiosaur! However, it's all like. Loch Ness can't accommodate plesiosaurs. Lyle Anderson, a paleontologist at the National Museum of Scotland, said: "That fossil is definitely a plesiosaur fossil. This is an excellent specimen. I also believe what Mr. mcsorley said-it was found in Loch Ness, but there is evidence that this fossil came from other places and was later moved to Loch Ness. " He said: "This fossil is embedded in gray Jurassic limestone, but the rocks in Loch Ness are much older crystalline igneous rocks." The nearest place to have rocks matching this limestone is the Eich area, 50 kilometers northeast of Loch Ness. "In this fossil, there are a lot of limestone holes eroded by marine life. It seems that this specimen has been left on the beach until recently. " Other scientists agree with Anderson. Richard Forrest, a plesiosaur expert at the New Walker Museum in Leicester, UK, said: "The appearance of this fossil and its holes indicate that it has existed in seawater for quite a long time, but Loch Ness is fresh water." Gary Campbell, director of the Loch Ness Weird Club, also pointed out: "I think it is almost certain that this fast fossil was deliberately put into Loch Ness. There are several public entrances by the lake. The fossils were just discovered near the place where tourists stayed. It is likely to be deliberately arranged and easy to find. " He also pointed out that there were countless scams in this regard in the past. Forest thinks that someone may have accidentally left fossils in the lake. He said: "A few years ago, a plesiosaur limb bone was found near the place where the fossil was found. Later, it was found out that a local tour guide used limb bones as a demonstration and put it on a rock, but later forgot to bring it back. " Forest said that if there is a Loch Ness monster, it can't be plesiosaur. One of the reasons is temperature: plesiosaur is a cold-blooded animal. It can neither generate enough body temperature to keep out the cold nor find enough food in the cold water of Loch Ness. Moreover, plesiosaurs need to breathe air and emerge from the water several times a day. If the Loch Ness monster was really a plesiosaur, people would have had a chance to see it clearly. Many paleontologists also pointed out that plesiosaur was extinct in ancient times, while the history of Loch Ness was less than 6.5438+0.2 million years, which was caused by ice erosion in the last ice age. Forest summed up his personal views, saying: "These reports about the Loch Ness monster are very good news for Scottish tourism, but there is no real evidence to support them." ◆ The Loch Ness Monster is actually an elephant? According to the British "Sunday Mail" report, the Loch Ness monster in Scotland is one of the most famous legends in the world, and attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world to visit Loch Ness every year, hoping to see the true face of the monster. However, a few days ago, a British paleontologist announced after several years of research that the Loch Ness monster did not exist at all, which was purely a propaganda trick concocted by a circus owner in the 1930s. According to reports, Dr Neil Clark, a British paleontologist and dinosaur expert, recently announced to the scientific community that according to his research, he believed that the legend of the Loch Ness monster in Scotland was purely the masterpiece of a circus owner in the 1930s. The pictures of Loch Ness Monster taken by people are just circus elephants swimming in the water. Because elephants swim underwater, witnesses who don't know the truth only see the trunk or the elephant's back out of the water, so the myth that there is a monster in Loch Ness has spread all over the world. Dr Clark said that the legend of Loch Ness Monster originated in 1930s. At that time, Burtram Mills, the owner of a British circus, saw the elephants in his circus swimming and bathing in Loch Ness, and immediately realized that the newly rumored Loch Ness monster was just an elephant in his circus. However, instead of telling the world the secret of the Loch Ness Monster, Mills had a brainwave and thought of a wonderful way to promote the circus. 1933, he issued a reward order, announcing that anyone who caught a Loch Ness monster for his circus would receive a reward of 20,000 pounds. The Loch Ness Monster and Mills Circus became famous immediately. Clark told reporters: "What we know about the Loch Ness monster comes from eyewitness accounts, blurred photos, distant videos and some pranks that have been proved to be false. The' monster' in the eyes of most witnesses is actually just a floating log or wave, but there are still some eyewitness records that cannot be explained, because some people did see creatures with long necks and round backs in the lake, especially in 1933. My research shows that these "unknown creatures" are actually circus elephants. At that time, many circuses often came to Furness to perform. They would stay on the shore of Loch Ness for a while and let their animals have a rest. " According to Clark, the circus owner will let the elephant swim in the lake, but because of its weight, when the elephant swims, almost its whole body is not underwater, only its nose and back are above the water. Bertram Mills died in 1938. After his death, the legend of Loch Ness monster became more and more rampant, and Loch Ness became one of the hot spots for tourists all over the world. Clark said, "I think Niels must have died laughing, because people all over the world have been fooled by him." Shane, head of the British "Loch Ness 2000" project, said: "This is a very interesting theory. If an elephant swims in Loch Ness, it will really look like the Loch Ness Monster photographed by people.
