A trail camera at Loch Ness snapped a series of photos showing a peculiar disturbance that may have been the site's resident 'monster.' According to a local media report, Nessie enthusiast Roland Watson placed the device on a tree overlooking the western end of the iconic Scottish location back in May. When he retrieved the camera a few months later and checked its pictures, three intriguing photos (one of which can be seen below) from late July caught his attention. The images, which came to light on Wednesday, show an approximately three-foot-long hump emerging and seemingly moving across the water.
"I was hoping to get pictures of something unusual, and I certainly have," he marveled, "I can't think of any other explanation for this." The creator of a blog devoted to Loch Ness Monster research, Watson dismissed the long-held theory that the creature is a remnant dinosaur and, instead, offered a more down-to-earth explanation for what might be lurking at the site. "If it was anything Jurassic Park, we'd know because it would be eating everybody. Whatever it is, it lies low," he observed, musing, "I think a big exotic fish is the most likely explanation."
