Could the Loch Ness monster have just been an eel all along? After an analysis of DNA in the Loch’s icy waters, scientists think so

LONDON - Scotland’s fabled Loch Ness monster could possibly be a giant eel, scientists said on Thursday after an intensive analysis of traces of DNA in the Loch’s icy waters.

“We can’t exclude the possibility that there’s a giant eel in Loch Ness but we don’t know whether these samples we’ve collected are from a giant beast or just an ordinary one - so there’s still this element of ‘we just don’t know.’” The use of eDNA sampling is already well established as a tool for monitoring marine life like whales and sharks.

The first written record of a monster relates to the Irish monk St Columba, who is said to have banished a “water beast” to the depths of the River Ness in the 6th century.
