Several sightings, mainly of footprints, have been reported by westerner explorers throughout the years. Yet none of them have been supported with evidence in any way.
Lock Ness Monster Loch Ness
the largest of a series of interlinked lochs, or lakes, located in northern one of Scotland’s top tourist attractions.
On the 21st December 1933, the Daily Mail carried the following headline: “Monster of Loch Ness is not a Legend but a Fact.” The hunter said: “It is a four fingered beast and it has feet or pads of eight inches across. I judge it to be a powerful soft footed animal about 20 feet in length....... I am sure that it can breathe like a crocodile(鄂鱼) with just one nostril(鼻 孔) out of the water."
