Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness Monster, according to the Nessie website, is a large animal with a giraffe like neck, small head, skin like an elephant and two very short legs or flippers. According to the legend, the Loch Ness Monster was first sighted in the  6^th century. The first recorded sighting didn’t occur until July 22^nd, 1933.  After the first picture of the monster was taken, more and more people came forward with claims of seeing it.   In 1934,  investigations to find “Nessie” started but none have been successful.  People continued to claim that they saw the monster.

 I found a NBC News article (http://www.nbcnews.com/science/weird-science/loch-ness-monster-dead-n26616) that said that Nessie may be dead because no sightings of the monster have occurred within the past year. However, there are still people out there who search for the monster and believe it is real.

I thought this related to our class because even though there is no credible evidence that the Loch Ness monster exists, people still are searching for it and still claim they have seen it. 

Here is the link to the Nessie website and the "real evidence" that the monster exists:
