I think Jeremy wade has already been to loch Ness.
So old news.
If anyone was gonna find it, it was Jeremy wade
6 gill
He said it was a Grernland shark.
He has, it was where he caught the Greenland Shark
Jeremy wade isnt real guys sorry to burst your bubble but it's obviously a legend that caught these fish
..well a legend of some kind
25% of the DNA still unidentified means that it could easily be a species we haven't encountered, yet. Some kind of OTHER giant fish or eel swimming in the loch.
Greenland sharks live for up to 500 years. So it's entirely possible that *something* is down there.
Oh, give it up. The water temperature, extremely low biological content of the loch, & its relatively young age, all prove on their own the "monster" doesn't exist, & when you take a closer look at the eye witness accounts, & the supposed video evidence all reveal themselves to be extremely suspect. This DNA study is only the nail in the already half buried coffin.

>extremely low biological content
>one of the most highly populated lakes in all of Europe as far as species and density.
@@MakoRuu If so, lakes in Europe are super weak on bio content, because the main, determining factor is sunlight penetration, which allows phytoplankton growth, which is the base of food chain, & because of all fhe peat leeching into fhe loch, the water is basically coffee brown, & light only penetrates to about an eight foot depth, which means low biological content. And if you watch footage of the bottom of the loch, it's nothing but lifeless mud, punctuated by a stick, here & there, & the very occassional eel.
Adrian Shine, who has scientifically studied the loch more than anyone else, has stated that the loch could not support a breeding population of large creatures. You think you know better than he?
@@wassamattau5787 The problem I have with believing "experts", is that experts claimed that rogue waves didn't exist while sailors claimed that they did. As science so often seems to, once video evidence was captured of such a wave, the scientific community suddenly was ok with them. Imagine being a person arguing that experts were right and that rogue waves where a conspiracy theory, only to have the rug pulled out from under your argument.
When people see things they should be treated seriously. There's more than enough evidence to assume that something lives in Loch Ness, at least part time.
@@wassamattau5787 no rebuttal ?
5:21 eel be like:
LEAVE ME ALONE! DO I LOOK LIKE A DINOSAUR TO YOU!
I'll never forget that DISCOVERY CHANNEL dubbed a roaring sound for the eel.
Is no one gonna talk about the Bowser roar at 4:32
That's interesting bc there's a giant eel in the Super Mario 64
@El Barto 🤯 I think Nintendo knows something we dont
🤣🤣🤣 awesome spot! I guess for effect??
Eels don’t poke their heads up out water looking left then right and dive back in from what I know 🤔
Ancient Giant eels
@@unlo_lun nobody knows when eels when eels evolved also it could be Giant Pinniped Species that has survived
Neither do Plesiosaurs, as Paleontologists discovered that from studying Plesiosaur fossils, their necks were no where near as flexible like people used to think they were, and if they attempted to raise their necks out of the water like in all the “photos” they would break their necks and die
If I was an eel I’d want to know what’s above the water
What is an eel that are on LSD
25% unidentified. Yep totally conclusive research...I'm just amazed a discovery channel video didn't mention aliens for once.
i saw a huge eel in our local inland river and was in shock as it was something of a size you would expect to see in the ocean
The Loch Ness Monster has come out of the water for a COVID.19 test🙄
OK TGAT IS TRUE LOL
That's scary to think about of a giant eel in the Loch Ness
I like how he says if you don’t believe him then go get your own evidence lmao
A European conger eel is the most likely answer, they've catched them of the Devon coast before and one caught presently was at least 20kg so it's highly plausible of that or its an unknown species of eel that can grow to such lengths. The reason being is that there is no catfish or sturgeon in the loch it seems so it would thrive with no rivals. Equally a resent video online shows an eel caught going up the river towards the loch so highly likely it is an eel.
This is just about the limit Professor Gimmell! We will now have to genetically engineer a small plesiosaur (in Jurassic park style) and let it loose in this Lochness lake so that the legend is upheld 🤔 but remember, Plesiosaur DNA can be just about as elusive as the Plesiosaur like Lochness monster itself ! 🐲🐾
Pleisosurs weren't Dinosaurs
Last year 23 people saw one in Banks Lake, Wa. All descriptions were same and nobody knew each other. 1 said they were anchored and swimming when a large black log bumped into their 30 foot family boat, they reached down to push the log away, (It was as long as their boat) and it wiggled and dove deep. No swimmer or skier has ever been bothered. One old local gas station owner had previous knowledge of it and said there's more than one, and told them to keep their mouth shut, otherwise the lake would be flooded with scientists and hunters.......
That's a wels catfish not an eel. Do I really have to correct discovery???
Mike Hunt Ik right they big dumb
They talk about them in the video
@@konradvesterberg7318 it was in the click bait. A small segment like that in a video shouldn't be presented on a cover
@@mikehunt7019 Yup
Welsh catfish don't have a long neck & poke their head out of the water by a few feet, I have caught them 100 pound +
Has people forgot about the trench at the bottom of the loch
have*
Got Grapes? Have*
There’s a trench and how big is it?!?!?!?!??
And yr point is?
@@richardwalker4220
The point is that the trench isn't well known or well searched. So who knows what kind of fauna lives down there.
Thats a sea serpant if its that damn big😂
Well, the evidence that the scientist related was as concussive as his hair......HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY HAIR!
I was using subtitles and it said the wels catfish grows up to 1215 ft in length lol
Mango The Carnotaurus same lol
Raid the Loch They can't stop us all.
Yeah but once we're done raiding Area 51. One at a time buddy.
They should do this in lake Champlain
Omg yeah there is one picture that is soo compelling that it's a dinosaur. Like jese
Same creature huh… 🤣
Sure is a beautiful place
I hate to say your wrong, Nessie eats eels, this creature is so unique and comes into this area, remember this rule, what brings in a smaller preditor brings in bigger and meaner, your on a track, what eats Moray eel???? Something with huge teeth and maybe has a smell like a eel but is not...keep looking for answers.
Keep hunting, keep asking
So, where exactly does one acquire plesiosaur dna to compare findings with in the first place?
plesiosaur is a reptile, there's nothing alike in the lake
It’s so hysterical they give the eel a growling sound. SO SCCCCCRRRRYYY
so basically Nessie is Unagi the giant eel from Super Mario 64.
more likely just a normal eel that was over exaggerated due to the conditions at the time
You're more likely to come across Nessy than a Scottish accent around the Loch.
Dude at the end has the greatest beard of all time.
Didn't the bearded guy claim there was evidence supportive of seals in loch ness?
The eDNA only explains recent sightings over the past year. The monster is probably a composite face: early sightings of giant animals are sturgeo onr seals, some are wels, and more recent sightings are eels.
People need to hear facts and data, eels seem to be the most likely answer. thanks for this video
I’m doing homework on this so I need to come up with a 5 min presentation and I’m just writing down every single thing I see about it
Lovleen Kaur what a coincidence. I’m also doing a presentation on this!
Bruh they really got Santa on the show
Gonna need about TREE FIDDY
We need joe rogan to talk about this
Lol
We need Eddie bravo to go into a Alex Jones sponsored submarine into the Loch
Like he talked about sasquatch, & got so terribly, unforgivably wrong, even in the face of the Sierra Sounds recordings, which, if you are not ignorant regarding that form of evidence(& the world's premier crypto linguist, & numerous sound analysis experts who've studied the recordings, have all explained why they have to be real, & what they mean), you understand _are_ irrefutable scientific proof of the existence of an as yet unacknowledged, non-human primate living in the wilds of North America(& it is only one of multiple forms of such proof, which includes DNA, video/film, dental impression, track/dermal evidences, which again, if you're knowledgeable about any of these forms of evidence, & aware of what has been collected, you undetstand these creatures most certainly exist, just like the absurd number of credible witnesses all claim)?
I like a lot of what Joe does, but when it comes to subjects like this, no thank you.
Finally a actual scientific way
Greenland Shark might account for some sightings. Up to 23ft known length.
That is a very gid shout m8.
The Japanese found the Loch Ness Monster in 1977. It is a prehistoric dinosaur, very much so a plesiosaur. There could be different types of plesiosaurs. The one that the Japanese found was ginormous and fit all of the eyewitness descriptions. The Japanese found him not too far from Scotland. He hadn't been dead that long. He had not decomposed that badly.
That was the corpse of a basking shark. Old news.
@@amberslagle5436 I never stated that it was a new news report. You're claim that what the Japanese caught was a dead basking shark is your interpretation. If that factually was a basking shark such to as you say then maybe so. My friends saw the photo from different angles and all agreed that wasn't a shark of any kind of type they had ever seen. I simply commented about the famous photo
If you are referring to the Zuiyo-maru carcass it’s almost certain that was a decomposed basking shark. Sharks once decomposed barely resembles what it used to look like. Trey the Explainer made a good video on it.
@@BBQporkramen there's no factual DNA evidence verifying that's a basking shark, and that looks nothing like a decomposed basking shark. Interpretation varies
@@trevinhickman9022 Yup
The most astounding thing in this video is that dude's beard.
Adrian Shine is such a cool dude.
Could definitely be a massive eel. One bigger then normal its a huge lake with underwater caves and such. A 12 - 15 ft eel could explain it.
The only problem, is that eyewitnesses describe an animal with the skin texture of a whale and the shape and appearance of an overturned boat.
Eels have a fin going down their backs and aren't stationary, they are fish and tend to be active and move a lot.
The most likely explanations are that the mysterious animal in Loch Ness is probably a reptile, amphibian or mammal. It isn't too far fetched, because certain reptiles, amphibians and mammals have been known to move to places to reproduce and stay near the mouth of the river that connects the lake to the sea. The only eels in Loch Ness are the small species that grow no more than 3.5 feet.
But then again, who really knows what the Loch Ness mystery animal is, just because there was a significant amount of eel DNA doesn't mean it is a full on eel, maybe the eels are a food source to the mystery animal that has been seen for centuries.
Its a loch ya bawbag. But aye could be a massive Eel or greenland sharks a good shout aswell.
@@warrioromarzthefirst5949 hell yeah snake
He did say there were 25 unidentifiable left. Also, how would you test for something you don't know what to look for??
No plesiosaur dna, So everyone just casually have plesiosaur Dna on their fridges huh
This now should be easy to find. Mearly post cameras everywhere with constant recording.
After 6 months or a year u either have enought footage to form a plan or no footage and game over
I believe underground caves could allow hiding preventing being found.
No giant catfish? Oh....
*Puts away giant deep fryer*
Sorry guys it was me swimming in the lake
Lol
Did the creature ever kill anyone? No, then how is it a monster?
It did kill one of the members of the holy mission leader st Columba encountered it and a guy was in he water and it killed him and they burned the body
Just another reason why I wish I lived at Scotland
If it was a cat fish, then we got catfished by a catfish
I've seen the Smegness Monster. Yes it is in my pants.
Cleg Smegson you mean Smegness Dawrf in your pants?
Shit!
i would like to know why they keep ommitting the known fact that there is still yet fully uncalculated) underwater caverns shooting off the lake
I read a book about the LOCH NESS MONSTER and there was a picture of it's fin and it was a diamond shape so all you need too do is look at the fins of the creatures and if you find one with a diamond shapes fin then there you go.
The photo was a fake!
Lmao a photo is not good enough proof, also that specific one has been identified as a fake.
@@leonardotheuseless4188 Spot on mate!
Penny wise the dancing clown wow if only someone would have thought of that before!
Beautiful!
Aquatic animals are known to grow outside their natural size of they don't reproduce. Given that it could be many species.
‘It cannot escape the building blocks of life'...
Yet the research team didn’t find any seal or otter DNA within the Loch even though they are both frequently seen and visit the waters. This DNA experiment brought absolutely nothing new to the ‘mystery' of Nessie.
The lochness monster is in the background at 5:00 look above the rock that’s on the right
Its the at 5:00 but gone at 5:05
What if it's A BOAT? Honestly I live for the thought of there being a fn lakemonster so I do wanna believe ur comment :'D
Lol thats right
I actually thought the rock was the creature for a second...
They should be focusing on the vast DNA that could not be identified or explained. Surely that’s more important? Their findings unfortunately have brought absolutely nothing new to the table. Of course there’s Eels in the Loch, there’s Eel in most Scottish Lochs and there’s zero evidence of any giant Eels, in Loch Ness they grow very little over a foot long.
Its not an eel, its a dinosaur. I should know, I live in Brooklyn.
Frank Frank It’s not a dinosaur, dinosaurs are all dead. It’s just a dumb eel.
@@danielledewitt1 All dinosaurs are not dead. Scientists now classify birds as dinosaurs.
Frank Frank Birds are dinosaurs yeah good joke. Dinosaurs died out a very long time ago. When was the last time you saw a T rex?
@@danielledewitt1 I see them all the time, on TH-cam.
Frank Frank That’s fake ones, I mean real ones.
What does DNA have to with it?
2:20 something “pretty scary” boy oh boy, believe me, nothing is scarier than my mother in law. Lol
If it is a eel why has there been pictures of flippers back in 1972 it's clearly a pleasiosre in loch ness the description matches what everyone is saying it probably has evolved into living in fresh water
Oh so explain how it got in the loch it was not around 65 million years ago
@@Novel_X maybe during ice age it apparently got into the Loch I think it’s a family of pleasiasos living there
We gonna ignore the fact that the thumbnail is a wels catfish and not an eel
This isn't enough, DNA doesn't last long.
The mystery animal of Loch Ness have left the loch long before they mounted this expedition, meaning that any possible DNA traces has degraded due to the crrtain conditions of Loch Ness. The eels themselves are probably a food source for this mystery animal of the loch.
When it comes to the Giant Eel, Loch Ness... you are...Not the father
sure an eel is a good animal for nessie but what about nessies (back , tail , flippers) what about those who seen a back tail and flippers
haha he sounded a little bit pissed. Probably spent a little bit too much money on the expedition.
I still have my bet on a plesiosaur
Do this everyday for 10 years and you will change my mind
I think the Loch Ness monster is a ancient Dolphin called a Ichthyosaurs that's only possibility since lots these fossils were found in U.K
No not a dinosaur, a marine reptile so a plesiosaur cos dinosaurs were land animals
I think the Locc Ness monsters are pleisosaurs dinosaurs who survived in Locc Ness there are not giant sala or giant cat fie they are real aquatique dinosaurs!!!!!
One video I saw said they didn't find seal DNA but they are seen in the Loch from time to time, is this true? In any case if you have something that is 25% unidentified then there is a possibility they have something that someone doesn't know about. What it is, is anyone's guess. The one thing he didn't say is the creature is a figment of someone's imagination and that he invites more scientific research, which is still needs to be done even if this thing is not what we want it to be.
*says it might be an eel* literally shows a Wells catfish
You can still ride it, mr. President.
Give it up people, there’s nothing there but fish 🐠 😂
i hope they keep searching,
Could be a giant Eal but showing a catfish... how stupid😂🤣
What's an eal?
That's a moray eel, a saltwater creature. Sheesh.
If the eunuch eel doesn’t breed, how is it producing offsprings?
He called a plesiosaur a dinosaur
I still find it absurd that people seem to be talking about one single animal. How old is that thing by now 50 a 100, 200, 300, >1500 years? Will people still be seeing Nessy a 1.000 years from now? And one is not a viable population, a healthy breeding population would consists of many animals and could never go under the radar unless they hide all the dead bodies that should have been washing upon the shore or s;potted on the lake since the year 564 and even earlier...
A gigant eel???🥸
It would be perfect for Unagi Sushi 🤭
Energy brought this guy to ness , so that means there’s a Dino! Guess that’s how science works
Maybe Greenland shark, basking shark, seals, otters or whales?
Jeremy wade said it was a Greenland shark.
sixgill shark or beaked whale also possible imo
People suggesting this thing is a pliesosaurus don't use common sense. "IF" this loch monster monster exist it's definitely not an air breathing animal, considering the amount of time it spent submerge underwater.
Back in the 19 hundreds Catfish were put in the water so that's my best guess.
Viewers need to read Steven Alten's "The Loch". It explores the eel possibility.
Why don’t they send a submarine down there and if it was nessy they would just capture it for testing in science labs or it would be bought out by a rich company and put in a tank at a zoo
Too expensive
i think someone did that but because of how murky it is they couldn’t see anything
I could have sworn I once saw a Loch Ness program where they showed the Lake having some kind of connection to the ocean. If that were the case maybe the real monster is only visiting to spawn or something like that. Like salmon.
Maybe only occasionally visiting it doesn't leave enough plesiosaur DNA for that guy to pick up.
Imagine a new species of dinosaurs found🤔 new DNA that hasn't been discovered yet🤔
When Santa pulled up
Hey kids, plesiosaurs weren't dinosaurs. We can be more accurate, let's set a precedent!
Funny looking eal in the thumbnail, looks like a catfish to me
100 years ago was the Georgian Period. The Victorian period ended 119 years ago.
No Victorian erra ended when queen Victoria died that was after the georges. the Georgian erra was before
Yes, I am an absolute idiot.
Supposedly the discovery channel yet when talking about eels in Loch ness shows footage or morary eels.
CMJGLLP 3 yep conger and European eels are the only species in the loch
Has no one in the scientific community thought that a species has evolved since the prehistoric age? That dna unknown to us cannot be guessed based on crocodiles and birds since paleontology shows dinosaurs, crocodiles, pterosaurs, and birds are fundamentally different even genetically. And we even have for example marsupials, who are derived from mammals but isolation has made them altered to fit the environment. Could Loch Ness see a similar scenario.
Well if you didn’t know the Loch Ness monster looks like Fred Astaire from
BBC in London he’s the chief commissioner
I’m just waiting for them to take out all the water
If they find it tomorrow, and its just a bigger than average eel. Will the place be renamed 'The Loch Ness Eel'? And will it still be a tourist attraction?
The place is not named the loch ness monster its just loch ness
With the technology they could put submarine cameras and récord and check if something strange gets on the images
A giant undiscovered salamander
are they not able to scan the whole lake? what sort of imaging technology do we have suitable for this? would such an animal of significant size have any heat that could be picked up by thermal?
nice
NIOCE!
Nice locomotive
