Does the Loch Ness Monster really exist?

It has not been confirmed. ?

Since ancient times, many scholars have been skeptical about "The Mystery of Loch Ness Monster", or even completely denied it. They believe that there is no monster in Loch Ness, but an illusion caused by light refraction.

It is also believed that there are probably some buoyant mud foam stones at the bottom of Loch Ness, which float on the water surface with the waves under certain conditions. When people stand by the lake and look from a distance, they often mistake the grotesque mud foam stone for a monster because of visual errors.

But many famous scientists all over the world firmly believe that there is an unidentified monster in Loch Ness. They believe that hundreds of millions of years ago, the area around Loch Ness was once a Wang Yang. Later, due to frequent crustal movements, it experienced many land and sea changes and gradually evolved into today's face.

Therefore, it is very likely that there is an ancient animal that has not been recognized by human beings-a unique marine reptile that still lives in Loch Ness. This is only a hypothesis and speculation, and it needs sufficient physical evidence to prove it, and it needs further exploration and research by scientists in the future.
