What is 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 somehow looking like a plesiosaurus. The first known sighting was St. Columbus and his crew that were on a ship, and they think they encountered it, the Nessiteras rhombopteryx, Greek for the wonder of Ness with the diamond shaped fin. One of his ship mates was in the lake of Loch Ness, and the creature popped up, but St. Columbus frightened the creature and it vanished under the water. All of this took place in 565 A.D. Scientist today are still looking for Nessie, nobody knows if they will find any truth, or if they will find hoaxes.
The Loch Ness Monster is an alleged animal, identified neither as to family or species, but claimed to inhabit Scotland's Loch Ness. The Loch Ness Monster is one of the best-known animals studied by cryptozoology. Popular belief and interest in the animal have waxed and waned over the years since the animal came to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is largely anecdotal, with minimal, and much disputed, photographic material and sonar readings: there has not been any physical evidence (skeletal remains, capture of a live animal, definitive tissue samples or spoor) uncovered as of 2008.
