Of course Loch Ness, who is one of the famous unknown species in the world.

The legend says that the lake monster lives in the Loch Ness, a big lake in Scotland. His neck is 10 to 15 long and he got a snake like head (schlangenartigen Kopf).

But there are no real proofs about Nessi´s existence. Some scientists believe that Nessi is a plesiosaur from the ice age. The first time where Nessi was seen, was in 565 A.C. by a monk (Mönch). He describes (beschreiben) Nessi as a “strange fish”. The next view was at 14 april 1933. A couple (Ehepaar) watched a big animal in the water. An other couple saw Nessi, a creature with a long neck(Hals) and flippers (Flossen) crossing the road.

The first picture of Nessi comes from Hugh Gray. He says that he photograph a long tail (Schwanz). Unfortunately (Leider)there are many forgeries (Fälschung) which where photograph in the last years. A famous forgery was the “Surgeons photo”. But the photographer said the truth just before his death.

1960 Nessi should even (sogar) been filmed. This film from 1960 is still seen for real. Skeptics say that the object on the video is only a motorboat. There are also many monster hunter, hunting Nessi. Maybe they only want the 500.000 pounds which you can win if you get Nessi. But catching Nessi would be illegal, because Nessi is since 1934 under conservation (Naturschutz. Loch Ness became a tourist attraction. Thousands of tourists fly to the Loch Ness and watch the lake with cameras. The waiting can last hours sometimes until in the night to see something moving on the surface (wasseroberfläche).

1970 the first scientific researches began. But is not easy to search all over such a big lake:

Loch Ness is 37km long,1,5km wide and 325m deep. Because of this it is difficult (schwierig)to find Nessi or even to get a photo from the monster! There are also underwater caves on the ground of the lake where Nessi could hide himself.
