"Loch Ness Monster" is a very mysterious existence, not only appeared in many movies, literary works, in recent years, many people claim to have photographed and seen the figure of loch Ness Monster, causing heated discussion from all walks of life, but has not been confirmed. Now, the legend of the Loch Ness water monster that has been circulated for nearly 1,000 years seems to have a new discovery, Neil Gemmell, a geneticist at the University of Otago in New Zealand, pointed out on the 5th that the results of the analysis from the lake water samples are likely to be a huge eel!
The legend of the Loch Ness monster, which has been circulating for more than 1,000 years, has made new discoveries.
According to reports, Gemmel said that they found a lot of "eels" in Loch Ness, and the research team found that there were also eels at each sampling site, so it is not excluded that there may be quite large eels in Loch Ness.

So Gemmel's team began in June 2018 to collect lake water used to make "environmental DNA" (eDNA) samples, and they analyzed the DNA of the skin, scales, feces, urine and other components of the creatures in the water in Loch Ness using the same methods that scientists often use to track the ecology of sandfish and whales in the ocean, and finally made this new discovery.

In fact, as early as the 6th century AD, there began to be a legend of the Loch Ness monster, written by an Irish monk "The Life of St. Coulomb", recording the local residents mentioning the incident of the water monster attacking humans. Coincidentally, in 1933, a famous navy lieutenant Gould visited the people who saw the monster and recorded it in a book. Since then, many people have said that they have witnessed the Loch Ness Monster, but there is still no clear evidence to confirm the existence of the Loch Ness Monster. Now Germel's latest deduction is that the Loch Ness Monster is likely to be a "giant eel."
