What's with the Loch Ness monster?

Like many puzzling phenomena, the mystery of Loch Ness Monster has been bothering us for many years. So, what kind of animal is the Loch Ness monster?

Loch Ness is located in the Grand Canyon in northern Scotland. The depth is about 2 13 ~ 2933 meters, the length is about 39 kilometers, and the average width is 1.6 kilometers. Because it is a freshwater lake, it does not freeze all the year round and is suitable for biological drinking, so there are many waterfowl, fish and shrimp in the lake. There are three slender and deep lakes in the Scottish Grand Canyon, namely, Loch Ness, Lake Loki and Lake Aos from west to east. At first, only the water from Loch Ness flowed northeast into Murray Bay through Loch Ness River, while both Lake Loki and Lake Austin led to the sea. These three lakes are not connected with each other. However, taking advantage of the fact that the three lakes are located in the same canyon and on the same line, the locals dug a canal called Caledonian to connect Loen Bay on the Atlantic side with Murray Bay on the North Sea side, thus connecting the three lakes.

Many people firmly believe that there is a monster in Loch Ness, although it has not been discovered yet. Some famous scientists believe that hundreds of millions of years ago, Loch Ness was once a Wang Yang. Later, after the action of crustal movement and many land and sea changes, Loch Ness gradually evolved from the ocean to today's lake, so there is probably an ancient animal in Loch Ness, and it is still alive, but humans still don't know it. Although people have claimed to have seen this monster with their own eyes in recent 100 years, no one has caught it yet. According to those people, its head and neck are as slender as a snake, and the part sticking out of the water is more than one meter long. The focus of debate is the monster's huge back. Some people say that it has more than one back, but two or three backs are above the water. On the prominent flank of the monster, the water pours down like a waterfall, and a bad wave will be set off on the lake in an instant. Then it quickly dived to the bottom of the lake and disappeared.

1802 A farmer was working by the Nice Lake when he suddenly saw a huge monster with a strange shape in the lake, only about 45 meters away from him. The monster paddled with short, thick flippers and swam fiercely towards him, scaring him to run away.

1880 in early autumn, a yacht was driving on the lake, and suddenly a huge monster rushed out from the bottom of the lake. It is black all over, with a triangular head and a slender neck. It held its head high and set off a huge wave like a dragon in the lake, causing a huge wave to roll up on the lake and sink the yacht into the lake, and all the tourists on board were spared. The news caused a sensation in Britain at that time. In the same year, diver Duncan Mokatangla dived into the bottom of Loch Ness to inspect the wreckage of a wrecked ship. Shortly after he dived into the bottom of the lake, he gave a signal in a hurry and crazily. People don't know what happened, so they quickly dragged him ashore from the bottom of the lake. He couldn't say a word, turned pale and trembled all over. After calming down, he described the miracle he saw at the bottom of the lake: just as he was checking the wreckage of the sunken ship, he suddenly saw a monster hiding on a rock at the bottom of the lake. Seen from a distance, it sits there like a giant frog. The shape was so terrible that he almost fainted.

A British navy major named Gold was very curious about this. He visited and investigated 50 people who had seen the monster with their own eyes. After comprehensively studying and speculating all the materials obtained, he described a general appearance of the monster: the monster was gray-black, with two or three humps on its back, with a body length of about15m and a neck length of about1.2m.. However, his speculation has no scientific basis and is only a hypothesis.

By 1933, some road builders on the shore of Loch Ness claimed to have seen this monster, and John McKay and veterinary scholar Grant also claimed to have seen this monster. Grant later said that once when he passed by Loch Ness, the lake suddenly churned and made a creaking sound, and then he saw a monster very similar to what others described, swimming in the upper reaches of the lake. This monster has a big back and a slender neck. It looks like dinosaurs and elephants, and its rough skin is covered with wrinkles.

To this end, the British government specially organized the "Loch Ness Phenomenon Investigation Association", offering a reward of 6,543,800+0,000. Whether the monster is dead or alive, as long as you catch it, you can get a reward. Many people have arrived at Loch Ness, patrolling day and night with luck, hoping to catch the monster. But the monster, like a deliberate tease, disappeared without a trace and never appeared on the lake again

1972, a research team headed by Ryan, an expert from the American Academy of Applied Sciences, photographed a huge fin foot while exploring Loch Ness. 1975 June19, the research team took hundreds of photos with an underwater camera set up in Loch Ness, but there was nothing in it. At 9: 45 that night, an animal appeared near the underwater camera, but it soon disappeared. Because only a tiny part of the animal appears in the photo, people can't see clearly what it is. About an hour later, the animal appeared again, probably because the flash could not be synchronized, and it was always a few minutes faster or slower. The photo only captures a large ugly skin with yellow spots, and it is impossible to figure out the species of animals. It was not until 4: 32 am the next day that the flash flashed synchronously in time, and then a precious scene was taken. In this photo, the outline of a living monster (body and head) appears: a diamond-shaped body, a slender neck extending in an arch shape, and a part of the neck is blurred by shadows. Finally, there is a spot with two fins sticking out from the upper part of the body, which looks like a monster pouncing on the camera in surprise. It is estimated that this monster is about 6.5 meters long. Soon, the monster launched a series of attacks and collisions on the underwater camera and overturned it. According to this underwater photo, some scholars have proved that there are monsters in Loch Ness. However, some scientists think that Lei Ensi and others misjudged the photos and denied them. Some scholars even think that the so-called "underwater photo" is a scam created by Lei Ensi and others.

For a long time, many scholars have been skeptical or even completely negative about the "Mystery of Loch Ness Monster". They believe that there is no monster in Loch Ness, but a refraction phenomenon of light causes people's visual illusion. Some people think that it is very likely that some buoyant mud foam stones at the bottom of Loch Ness floated to the surface under certain conditions and drifted with the waves. Due to visual errors, when people stand on the shore of a lake and look into the distance, grotesque mud foam stones are often mistaken for monsters.

1On August 5th, 982, the British magazine "New Scientist" published the article "Uncovering the Mystery of Loch Ness Monster" written by Robert Craig (a retired electronic engineer in Scotland). He believes that there are no mysterious prehistoric animals at all, only the trunk of an ancient Korean pine floating on the lake. The shape and fluctuation of the trunk make people stand on the shore of the lake and look at it from a distance and mistake it for a monster. In fact, the floating and sinking trunk of ancient Pinus densiflora is what people call a monster.

However, many famous scientists around the world still firmly believe that there is an unidentified monster in Loch Ness.
