What information is available about the creature known as the Loch Ness monster?

Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness monster is a cryptid. It is described as a long necked lake monster with flippers and some also describe horns.

There have been several investigations into the Loch Ness Monster, more commonly referred to as, Nessie.

There is no scientifically validated proof yet that Nessie exists. Scientists have been on the water, in the water and under the water with all kinds of electronics equipment and so far, haven not turned up decisive evidence that Nessie exists.

However, many sightings have been reported by credible witnesses and some photos as well as sonar images have been presented. Nevertheless, the best known photograph has nothing in it to show scale or distance. If there was a reference, then proving or disproving Nessie would be easier.

The earliest sighting recorded was said to be an attack on a villager at the margin of the river Ness in 565 but that account has been credited to a wild boar attack.

The latest sighting was in on September 5th, 2000
