The Loch Ness monster's existence has been declared "plausible" by scientists following the discovery of a fossil.
Researchers at the University of Portsmouth have made the claim after fossils of small plesiosaurs were found during a river system dig in modern-day Morocco.
Grainy images and descriptions of Nessie after alleged sightings have resembled the prehistoric plesiosaur - a marine reptile with four flippers which had a long neck and small head.
