Scientific discovery makes Loch Ness Monster existence 'plausible'

A famous photograph that allegedly showed the Loch Ness monster, taken in 1934. It was later revealed to be a hoax

THE Loch Ness Monster’s existence is “plausible”, scientists have said after a breakthrough discovery.

Those who believe in the mythical monster say she could be an animal similar to a plesiosaur – a large, long-necked marine reptile which lived between 215 million and 66m years ago. Like the rest of the dinosaurs, these creatures have been extinct ever since.
