What is scaly, creepy, 50 feet long, and swims in the world's most notorious lake? If you said The Loch Ness Monster, then you’re correct! The Loch Ness Monster, mostly known as the creature Nessie, is a huge, “mythical” creature that has been scaring the people of Ireland for centuries, but this monster is actually real. While many theories exist trying to disprove the existence of this elusive beast, many also exist proving its existence. The first reported sighting made by St. Columba, an Irish missionary, in the a.d. 500s. He was from Scotland and came to spread Christianity. He saw the beast attacking a man and saved him by making a cross and ordering the beast to be gone. The Loch Ness Monster is not just a beast from the Medieval mythology. Many people have reported sightings of a creature matching the description “of an ‘extinct’ dinosaur called the Plesiosaur”(“Myths and Legends of the World”). There have been many attempts to find this elusive creature ,but all have turned up unsuccessful neither proving nor disproving the existence of the Loch Ness Monster. …show more content…
Now let's talk about how big Nessie’s habitat is.
The Loch Ness can easily hold a plesiosaur without it being discovered. The Loch Ness Lake has a volume of 1.775 cubic miles, far bigger than the average plesiosaur (8ft. to 46ft. long). This means that The Loch Ness monsters size from eye witnesses are well proportioned. The Loch Ness Lake itself is connected to the sea via the River Ness and the Caledonian Canal which both feed into Moray Firth. “The Loch Ness is 51 ft. higher than sea level, 23 miles long and 1 mile wide”(“Loch Ness Water Facts”), and it has a depth of 788 ft.. This gives the beast enough room to move that wherever people might search it would move to another part of the lake to stay hidden. In reality this beast could just be scared and doesn’t know what to do, so it instinctively hides from anything considered a
threat. There are many theories that prove the existence of such a monster to be just a hoax from swimming pachyderm (elephant) to deformed walruses. One theory that is very strange is that the famous picture taken by the surgeon was actually just an “paddling pachyderm”(Chamberlin). In the 1930’s many circuses were traveling down a route that passed by the Loch, some of them may have pulled over and let their animals go for a swim. In 1933 a famous circus promoter was in the area and may have let their elephant swim in the loch as the famous picture was taken. This is false because how could an elephant swimming in the loch in 1933 be in a photo taken in 1934? The water would probably be much too cold for the elephant to swim in. Ha! Take that Logic! This seems too sketchy to be true. Another possible explanation is that the beast that St. Columba saw was in fact a walrus that somehow migrated to the loch ness or got lost. Since people in ireland don't come in contact with a walrus very often they could have triggered it or it was defending itself. It could have been a walrus with a special genetic mutation causing it to be huge, deformed, and have anger issues. This is a false theory because why would a walrus be in IRELAND? I mean, it's pretty unlikely that a walrus would find its way up 2 different rivers to a lake and charge a man to try and kill him. That seems highly implausible. Thus, proving that this beast in the deep is actually real. However, the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster is still unsolved. There are many eye witness accounts and scientific theories that support nessie's existence. Irish missionaries saving men from this beast's attack, eye witness accounts, and many other theories are all reasons that support nessie's existence.
Seaworld is a giant marine life theme park. The greatest attraction to these many theme park would be those killer whales. In fact, these killer whales are the face of the park. As gigant as these mammals are, seaworld is keeping them in some pretty tight quarters. Mr. Jett and Mr.Ventre says “Wild killer whales can swim a hundred miles daily as they socialize, forage, communicate, and breed. In stark contrast, with little horizontal or vertical space in their enclosures, captive orcas swim only limited distances, with most spending many hours surface resting.” The animals don't have the freedom they need. Also when taking the whales out of their natural habit the whales tend to be depressed and not as heath in that situation. They need their freedom in the big ocean blue. Bring them into the small living units, breeding whales in captivity all for the entertainment of humans. At young ages the calves are taken away from their mothers on to a new seaworld park. Mothers of the calves have even been seen denying their offspring.
Hey, I didn’t see you there, how are you?I'm just wondering whether or not a big ol' grizzly bear is going to come charging at me at any point in my life, but seeing as grizzly bears are endangered that probably won't happen. In the past, there were thought to be around 50,000 grizzly bears in North America, nowadays they are growing sparse there are estimated to be only around 1800, now not even a 20th of the population in the past. Most of these grizzlies are located in Yellowstone National Park and Alaska, but they can also be found in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Montana. Some are thought to be in Washington.
One of the most well-known urban legends told is the story of Bigfoot. Much of the research has shown that there are several names assigned to the mammoth ape. According to Napier (1973), Bigfoot would be the creature found mostly in Northwest America, Sasquatch would be a creature named in British Colombia, the 49th parallel in the north-west states of America and Northern California, and the Abominable Snowman, or the Yeti would be the creature named in the Himalayas. Of course, “Wild Man” and “Savage” have also been names used to identify the creature. There’s been thousands of sightings across the world, but there have also been many misidentifications where those who think they have seen Bigfoot have really just seen an ordinary animal or person. Arment (2006) states an individual’s perception may color the eyewitness account. Such misidentifications include: hermits, fugitives, refugees, bears, gorillas, and simply people making up stories or rumors. In addition to sightings, there have been photos, videos, movies, and TV shows that strongly indicates the possibility of the existence of this creature. Though there is much evidence from sightings, myths, and recordings that Bigfoot exists, there is also much proof that it could all be a hoax. Incorrect sightings have led skeptics to argue over the existence of this being stating Bigfoot is really just a fable. So one has to ask oneself, does Bigfoot really exist or is it just another urban legend?
The amount of evidence supporting such a creature’s existence is astonishing. From footprint casting and fur samples to video evidence and numerous human sightings, Bigfoot’s existence cannot be doubted. There are three pieces of evidence supporting the existence of Bigfoot, the first of which is the thousands of eyewitness accounts. The first recorded sighting occurred in 1870 near a small town in California. The town newspaper, the Antioch Ledger, reported that a “gorilla man” or “wild man” had been sighted in the woods near the town.
Today everybody goes back to the film that was taken by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. It is the most famous evidence of the creature. The story is that the two men were riding horseback through the woods to Bluff Creek. When they got there they saw something crouching on the other side of the water. The creature got up two legs and started walking away, so Patterson hurried off his horse, got his camera and ran after it. In the video the creature looks like a woman and it did the Bigfoot look. They chased after it into the woods but lost it, when both of them got back to the Creek there were footprints. Both of them took plasters of the footprints. But throughout the years
One of the most intriguing creatures known to cryptozoologists it the Loch Ness Monster, often called Nessie. She is known to live in Loch Ness Lake in the Scottish Highlands, which is 23 miles long and almost 750 feet deep in certain parts, making it difficult to locate the monster. There are multiple theories on what N...
Over the past century and a half, the spur of Bigfoots existence has questioned many researchers and non-believers alike. Extensive research and findings have sparked many to seek out if there is another creature amongst our woods. Bigfoots existence is limited to substantial evidence such as sightings, footprints, and somatogenic traces. Ben Radford the author of “Bigfoot at 50 Evaluating a Half-Century of Bigfoot Evidence” explains effectively of the possible existence through extensive evidence and theories whether the beast actually resides among us.
Because it is very difficult to tell if Bigfoot is real, people have questioned his existence
...s made its way all the way to England and Illinois. Lastly, even though some people might not believe in this legend, it should definitely be considered and never dropped because one day something horrible could happen and everyone would be very clueless. This beast is amazing at doing what it does, and after all these stories one can conclude that this creature is real.
n the big beautiful place of Tennessee is a scary looking cave called the Bell Witch Cave in Roberts County unlike other caves that may seem scary but aren’t spooky. Bell Witch Cave gave people of Tennessee the chills and made them feel a little unusual about the dark rocky cave. What made Bell Witch cave so unusual and scary were all the living and non-living things that have been in the cave for years now. The cave had a gate that covered the entrance, but looked like it has been broken through a few times that made things strange about Bell Witch Cave.

The blue-ringed octopus uses an interesting technique to ward off its predators. Utilizing aposematic coloring (a warning mechanism), this creature can let other animals know to stay away. The tiny cephalopod bears about sixty bright blue rings, appearing as a pattern on its dermal covering. When these rings flash, one can tell that the octopus has been threatened. Although this tropical marine creature may generally be calm, when it is agitated, it can bite with its beak and inject tetrodotoxin into the blood stream. This venom can quickly kill an adult human. Typically, the blue-ringed octopus, or Hapalochlaena Lunulata, resides among rocks and shells on the ocean floor and exhibits a camouflaged appearance (Mathger et al., 2012). However, its skin contains many more interesting structures that allow it to have such a distinct presentation.

Have you ever wanted to slap eight people at once? Or if you're more of a mushy, touchy, feely person, have you ever wanted to hug eight people at once? An octopus can do either or both of these if they want to! So you know an octopus is lucky being able to do this but what's an octopuses habitat? Since they can slap eight things at once do they have predators? Or since we're on the facty facts subject where do they live?
