The Sun reported on June 10 that the researchers discovered 70 million years of fossils of giant aquatic monsters buried in the Antarctic ice sheet.
Experts say this is an unprecedented fossil and one of the most complete ancient reptile fossils ever discovered.
According to scientists, the sea monster weighs about 15 tons, belonging to the elasmosaurid family (snake neck lizard), which existed in the Cretaceous period. National Geographic describes the elasmosaurid’s form as the combination of the body of the sea ox, the neck of the giraffe and the head of the snake.
The monster is dubbed the "Loch Ness monster" (Nessie) in real life because its appearance is quite similar to some of the supposedly Nessie images.
The news of this amazing discovery is well received, especially those who believe in the existence of "Loch Ness monster" - the famous beast believed to live under Loch Ness in Scotland.
However, the scientists pointed out that the time of the appearance of two sea monsters is completely different. "Loch Ness monster" appears later than their monster monster elasmosaurid.
In addition, ancient underwater reptiles had no gills and if Nessie was the same type as their elasmosaurid, it would have to constantly float to Loch Ness lake and be easily detected.
