Does Nessie exist…… indeed…?
The Loch Ness Monster (Nessie ) is said that inhabits Loch Ness in Scotland. Nessie was brought to the attention of the entire world in 1933 by Alex Campbell, a “water bailiff” (officer appointed by the Scottish Government to control the fishing of trout and salmon) and a part time journalist as well, when an alleged photograph was taken by him….. Its existence, to the present, is more anecdotal that anything else…. with much disputed photographic material, sonar readings, searching…videos… and so on….
Then: is Nessie a modern myth ? or maybe… Nessie exists…….

Scientists studying the sitings believe that it may be a newt or eel. The studies done have never turned up a large animal. The animal that has been seen follows boats with electric motors, which is a behavior that may be exhibited in these animals that are sensitive to electric signals
Here are the 2 guesses that are most frequent:
Amphibian
R. T. Gould suggested something like a long-necked newt and Roy Mackal discussed this possibility, giving it the highest score (88%) in his list of possible candidates.
Invertebrate
In 1968 Frank Holiday proposed that Nessie and other lake monsters such as Morag could be explained by a giant invertebrate, and cited the extinct Tullimonstrum as an example of the shape. He says this provides an explanation for land sightings and for the variable back shape, and relates it to the medieval description of dragons as “worms”. Mackal considered this, but found it less convincing than eel, amphibian or plesiosaur types of animal.
