Loch Ness Monster

The Loch Ness monster is possibly the world’s best known cryptid — an animal that has yet to be proven to exist. For centuries tales of a large beast living in Scotland’s Loch Ness has been passed down and retold. The tale of the monster may have just remained an obscure folklore from a small town, however in 1934 a photograph was released claiming to show the beast in all of its glory. The photograph was published around the world and the hunt for Nessie began in earnest.
