Loch Ness Monster

The biggest search for the mythical Loch Ness Monster in over 50 years was launched on Saturday at the Scottish lake where purported sightings of a massive creature of unknown type or origin date as far back as the sixth century AD.

The reptilian creature is believed to have made its home in Scotland some 170 million years ago.
