There are lots of reasons to believe that the Loch Ness Monster isn’t real, beyond the fact that it is apparently just an incredibly unphotogenic cryptid. But now there is at least one bit of evidence that suggests Nessy did occupy the loch outside the Scottish Highlands at one point. According to The Telegraph, scientists at the University of Bath have discovered fossils that lend credence to the possibility of a Loch Ness Monster-like creature calling a freshwater river home.
In the Sahara Desert in Morocco, researchers found fossils of plesiosaurs, a marine reptile from the Early Jurassic era that could grow to be up to 11 feet long and 1,100 pounds. The fossils included bones and teeth from what is believed to be from a smaller adult plesiosaur and a baby.
