Mysterious Monster
At different times, thousands of people say that they
have seen a large animal in the famous lake called Loch Ness in Scotland. For
many centuries, people have tried to catch it. People who live there always
talk about the mysterious animal in the lake, and many of them believe that it
is still there today.
In 1933, John McGregor, a local businessman, saw that
the lake began to bubble, and a huge animal with two humps came out of it.
After that, scientists examined the lake with
underwater equipment and tried to find out what kind of animal lived there. Of
course, they haven’t found it yet, because the lake is so deep and so dark.
Tourists from all over the world have visited Loch
Ness, they hope to see the monster. They have even given it a nickname
“Nessie”. Many people even show photos of the monster, but they are usually
photos of the pictures of the monster. Scientists suppose that the Loch Ness
monster is a dinosaur, which has survived since the Ice Age.
Here is a description of the monster:
- Length: About 50 metres.
- Body: With two humps.
- Half horse, half snake
and quite small.
- Long and thin, like a
giraffe.
- Yellow-brown.
- People think that it eats
sheep on land and underwater plants.
- Shy, doesn’t want to be
seen.
- Lives in the deepest and
coldest parts of the lake about 1 km from the surface.
