We've all heard of the Loch Ness Monster, but do you know how this legend originated?

Today we take you through the timeline of some of the monster's most infamous sightings,

some dating back as far as the 6th century.

We'll get you all up to speed, discuss what kind of research is going on today,

and give our takes on this elusive creature.

I'm Mike.

I'm Ian.

And I'm Dave.

If you thought that iconic photo was proof positive of Nessie's existence, stick around.

We're probably going to burst your bubble more than Mike seeing a gynecological anatomy diagram for the first time.

This is Necronomopod.

Nick Longrich is a paleontologist at England's Bath University, and a lead author of a report on the fossil find.

We found a lot of different pleziosaur fossils in this freshwater deposit.

We found junals, we found adults, we found bones, we found teeth that they lost,

they shed their teeth, now it sharks.

So we found a lot of fossils, and just these things were up there routinely,

and probably spent much of not all of their lives in freshwater.

66 million years ago, the asteroid hits all these things going extinct including pleziosaur.

As a scientist, I can never say anything is impossible.

All hypotheses are on the table, and some level until they're proven false.

We could find a lot of small fish in the water, but it could be a pleziosaur.

I think that is, however, extremely unlikely.
