Is Nessie a huge eel? Underwater DNA survey “Possibility could not be excluded” September 6, 8:42
A group of experts gathered and investigated the waters of Lake Ness, the mysterious creature of Loch Ness, in northern England, and found no DNA for dinosaur-like creatures. On the other hand, “the possibility of a huge eel cannot be excluded”.
Nessie has been described as a mysterious creature with a long neck like a dinosaur among enthusiasts around the world based on photographs taken 85 years ago at Loch Ness in Scotland, Northern England.
Last year, an international research team led by Professor Neil Gemmel, a geneticist at the University of Otago in New Zealand, took water samples at approximately 250 locations in Loch Ness to find out the truth. We have continued analysis to identify the types of creatures inhabiting lakes by collating “environmental DNA” such as skin and excrement with a database.
Professor Gemel held a press conference in the UK on the 5th, and as a result of the investigation, he announced that DNA of creatures like dinosaurs could not be found.
On the other hand, he said, “There is a lot of eel DNA found in Loch Ness. The possibility of a mysterious creature being a huge eel cannot be ruled out.” Did.
Even with this survey, it seems unlikely that the dispute over Nessie will end.
