On This Day In History
1933: Loch Ness Monster sighted for the first time

Quote Of The Day
"Animals previously unknown to science have been found more than once in the past hundred years. For instance, there's the megamouth shark (megachasma pelagois), a fifteen-foot-long creature weighing nearly a ton. The first specimen was discovered on November 15, 1976, when it was entangled in the drag anchor of a U.S. Navy ship. The new creature wasn't described scientifically until 1983 ....... The megamouth remains the only species in its genus, and the only genus in its order."
(Martin Delrio)

There are now 99 known megamouths.

Nessie's cousin?

A "monster" is simply a creature which science has not yet named, but superstition and fear has.
