The Loch Ness Monster could be a 'giant frog'
Dinosaur expert Tyler Greenfield has unearthed a 2005 picture of a creature living at the bottom of the Scottish lake that is said to be the home of the legendary creature.
The creature was snapped 325 feet below the surface of the water, far deeper than most other frog breeds.
Greenfield - a palaeontology student and science writer - tweeted: "A living toad 325 feet deep at the bottom of Loch Ness.
"Yes, this really happened.
"Has anyone ever proposed that Nessie is a giant frog? I know there are giant salamander theorists out there, so there could be giant frog theorists."
Explorer Dr. Jonathan Kolby suggested that the amphibians are capable of surviving in the deep water.
He said: "This is indeed something that frogs and toads can do - especially in colder water. They can absorb oxygen through their skin and stay submerged for surprisingly long periods."
