For years, people have been trying to figure out whether there are any monsters in Loch Ness, but so far there is no answer, so someone has come up with a clever trick.
Here's the thing, the Loch Ness Fisheries Commission (NESS) has previously installed an underwater camera in Loch Ness to monitor the migration of salmon and see if there are any strange creatures passing by.
Not long ago, the camera did capture a huge unknown creature that was moving through the turbid waters, looking like a large eel, and NESS posted the video on social media, as shown in the red circle in the following figure:
Some netizens analyzed that from the proportion of the creature occupying the video screen, the length is at least 2.4 meters.
So are giant eels really that long?
According to public information, the European Congji eel (pictured below) is the world's largest eel, with an average length of 1.5 meters and a maximum length of 3 meters, they hide in reef caves, come out at night to feed, and their food is mainly other small fish, molluscs and crustaceans.
In other words, the unknown creature captured by the camera may belong to this eel.
So, is it possible that the Loch Ness Monster is a giant eel?
Loch Ness Observation Specialist Gary M. Campbell said that there are many large eels in Loch Ness, and they are even longer than some small boats, so the water monster is likely to be an eel, and this is the most reasonable explanation.
In fact, this year the Loch Ness Monster has been witnessed 12 times, the first occurring on January 24, when Jonas. Detch saw a giant creature swimming under the water while hiking, but it only appeared for 15 seconds.
