Are They About To PROVE The Loch Ness Monster Is Real…

A newly released study has revealed that the legendary Loch Ness Monster’s existence might actually be ‘Plausible.’

This legendary monster is described as “a large marine creature believed by some people to inhabit Loch Ness, Scotland”.

Folklore on the mythical Scottish beast has existed for centuries, with countless alleged sightings of the creature throughout time.

With that being said, not many people actually believe the creature to be real, mainly because no one has yet to get a high quality image of it. Not to mention the fact that the beast would be unlikely to survive in Scotland due to having a long-neck and small head very similar to that of a plesiosaur, which is a saltwater creature.

However, just this week, research has been unveiled that indicates how some species of plesiosaurs likely did live in freshwater lakes and rivers instead of the ocean. As a result, UK and Moroccan scientists have concluded that the existence of the Loch Ness Monster is plausible.

The scientists based their reasoning off of the work of archeologists, who discovered small plesiosaur fossils in Morocco’s Sahara Desert, which had previously been a river.

‘Edinburgh Live’ offered more details on the story:

A new study has made the myth of the Loch Ness Monster all the more ‘plausible’, as confirmed by various universities.

The mythical Scottish creature has been a tale of old across the nation, and there have been dozens of sightings of the beast over the years, reports LadBible.

But as with the other myths like Bigfoot, a majority of the population does not believe Nessie is a real thing, as nobody has captured a good enough photo of it to prove it.

Also, people don’t believe in the Loch Ness Monster because it is said to have a long neck and head similar to that of a plesiosaur – meaning it wouldn’t be able to survive in the Loch, because it is a saltwater creature.

However, scientists at University of Bath, the University of Portsmouth in the UK, and Université Hassan II in Morocco have disregarded that statement. The schools have discovered small plesiosaur fossils in a 100-million year old river system that is now Morocco’s Sahara Desert.

‘Newsweek’ also spoke on the new research:

The existence of the mythical Loch Ness Monster is plausible, scientists said after making a new discovery.

Researchers from the University of Bath and University of Portsmouth in the U.K., and Université Hassan II in Morocco, have found fossils of small plesiosaurs—an extinct, long-necked reptile—in what used to be an ancient river system.

The fossils were discovered in what is now Morocco’s part of the Sahara Desert, however 100 million years ago it was a body of freshwater, according to the study published in Cretaceous Research.

The finding shows that the marine reptiles—once thought to be sea creatures—may have dwelled in freshwater habitats. The fossils found consist of bones and teeth from adult plesiosaurs measuring 9 feet long, and a bone from a baby, measuring 5 feet.
