The mystery of the Loch Ness Monster has been turned on its head after new research revealed how the creature should really look.
Nessie is often depicted as a sort of plesiosaur, with its long neck and head emerging from the water, as seen in the famous “surgeon’s photograph” of 1934.
But now a study of a fossilised elasmosaurus – a type of plesiosaur – has turned the idea upside down; revealing that these prehistoric creatures didn’t hold their heads that way.
