The Loch Ness monster（尼斯湖水怪）in Scotland has been a mystery for a very long time. There are people who have claimed（声称）to have seen it, but nobody has proven that it really exists. However, scientists from New Zealand recently found that this Scot- tish monster “might” be real, according to The Mirror（《镜报》）.
The scientists traveled around the lake and took water samples（样本）from three different depths. Then, they collected DNA from the skin, scales（鳞片）, feathers, fur and waste of various animals. After testing the DNA, the scientists found that one of the previous theories（之前的理论）about the monster might be correct, but they have not said which one.
Currently, there are four main theories about the Loch Ness monster. One is that it is a long-necked plesiosaur（蛇颈龙）that continued to live after other dinosaurs died out. Another theory is that the “monster” is just a fish with a huge body.
Some people believe that the monster is an elephant, as the monster’s neck looks like the trunk（象鼻）of an elephant in some photos. Still, others think there is no monster at all. The gas bubbles that can be seen on the lake’s surface（表面）might be caused by earthquakes（地震）beneath the lake.
In fact, Loch Ness is not the only lake where people claim to have seen monsters. Some people have said that they saw a monster in Heavenly Lake on Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province. It was also reported that a monster in Yunnan’s Dianchi Lake scared tourists away. But later, people found that the “monster” was a turtle from North America. Somebody put it into the lake. Without any natural enemies, it grew so large that it looked like a giant monster.
