There is no evidence that the Loch Ness Monster really exists, but many people still insist that they have seen it with their own eyes.

The Loch Ness Monster (Nessie) is a legendary and mysterious creature in Loch Ness (Loch Ness), Scotland. The creature is said to have a massive body and long neck, and has been described as resembling a dinosaur or snake in shape. Some people believe that the Loch Ness Monster is real, while others believe it is just a legend or rumor.

Many people have claimed to have sighted the Loch Ness Monster since 1933, but these observations cannot be confirmed. Many scientists and researchers have tried to find evidence to prove the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, including conducting in-depth research with underwater detectors and divers, but so far there has been no conclusive evidence to prove the existence of the Loch Ness Monster.

What the Loch Ness Monster might be:

In June 2018, Neil Gomel, a professor of genetics at the University of Otago in New Zealand, led his research team to begin investigating Loch Ness. Comprehensive scientific research investigation. Neil Gomel and his team mainly used genetic sequencing and comparison of organisms in the lake to determine the true identity of the Loch Ness Monster.

This method is called gene sequencing. Generally, this cutting-edge scientific measurement method is applied to organisms in the ocean. The theoretical basis can be simply summarized as genetic exclusion. All living things that have come into contact with water sources will, without exception, leave their own DNA in the water, which can then be compared.

The research team collected 250 water samples from different areas of Loch Ness and extracted the DNA of the organisms contained in these samples. 3,000 different biological species were detected at first, and then scientists compared these biological samples in detail with the genes of more than 100,000 known biological species.

Scientists have discovered the DNA of many organisms in Loch Ness, as many as 3,000 species, including humans, fish, many waterbirds and various microorganisms. In the end, scientists determined that there were no reptiles, catfish, sharks and other creatures in Loch Ness. Most importantly, they also ruled out the most suspected prehistoric creature, the plesiosaur.

But the research team has made a breakthrough. The DNA of a giant eel was extracted from all 250 lake water samples, which shows that there are many such eels living in Loch Ness. Scientists predict that the eel may grow to more than 1.9 meters. And based on genetic analysis of these eels, larger individuals are likely to grow up to 5 meters long.

So, Neil Gomel’s team said that after sampling the water in Loch Ness, they did not find any new species or the DNA of large prehistoric creatures, but they found the DNA of giant catfish and eels, so the Loch Ness Monster may be For giant eels. Gene sequencing plus exclusion is also the latest and most accurate investigation method. Therefore, Neil Gomel's rigorous attitude towards science and his final conclusion are still very credible.
