Loch Ness Monster

Appearance
The Loch Ness Monster, otherwise known as 'Nessie' is a cryptid that lurks in the Loch Ness of Scotland. It is described as being very large in size with a long neck, and having resemblance to a sea serpent, a dragon, or an aquatic prehistoric creature. Most people believe that this creature is or is related to the plesiosaur.

History
There have been many reports of Nessie throughout history, but one of the most notorious ones being "Surgeon's photograph" shown at the right. This is reportedly the first photo ever captured of Nessie, which displays the creature's head and neck. According to the photographer, he was looking around the loch when this creature caught his eye. He quickly picked up his camera and took four shots. Two of these four shots were able to show the monster clearly. The photograph has brought lots of attention towards the Loch Ness Monster, but skeptics believe that the figure could be driftwood, a bird, or another mundane object.

There were numerous sightings and reports of the creature after this photo was taken, but many have turned out to be hoaxes.

Explanations
Many people believe that the Loch Ness Monster is just another known animal, or an inanimate object such as driftwood.
