Clear new photo of ‘Loch Ness monster’ goes viral
Unfortunately for Steve, people are now suggesting that the image is fake because the creature shown resembles a completely different cat fish image.This has led Twitter users to speculate the creature in the Loch Ness image is actually a catfish that was caught in Italy in 2018.A previous study of Loch Ness also found no traces of catfish DNA.
He and an international team of scientists went searching for reptile DNA in the famous 226-metre deep lake in Scotland in 2018.The professor confirmed that there was no giant reptile in Loch Ness – but an enormous eel may existAround 250 water samples were taken and analysed for signs of the reptilian beast.
"There may well be a monster in Loch Ness. We don’t know – we didn’t find it. So that’s the hunt. The hunt is done."Despite numerous "sightings" over the years, there's still no proof Nessie is real."Is there a plesiosaur in Loch Ness? No. There is absolutely no evidence of reptilian sequences in our samples," he explained.Credit: Alamy
