a strange animal in the lake. It was very big, and it had a long neck. Now every year, there are
more stories about the monster.
So what is the Loch Ness Monster? One idea is that the monster is really a dinosaur. This monster
didn’t die 200 million years ago with the other dinosaurs. It was safe in Loch Ness!
But is the monster real? In 1934, a doctor from London took a photograph of the monster. But in
