The Loch Ness Monster could actually be an algae-based blob.
The Loch Ness Monster might be an algae-based creature
Investigators collected water samples from the Scottish lake during the largest search for Nessie in 50 years in the summer and were left stunned by bombshell DNA results.
They were sent off to a lab in Colorado for analysis and the tests detected two types of algae - but no evidence of the legendary beast.
Cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard said: "The tests only detected algae, which of course is exciting news if we consider the possibility that Nessie is a giant algae blob monster."
The experiment took place after couple Matty Wiles and Aga Balinska shared footage of humps in the water during the search in August.
Filmmakers on the TV series 'Weird Britain' sent the samples for eDNA analysis - a new method of amplifying traces of DNA left behind by animals.
