Can you believe we haven't done a Loch Ness Monster episode before now? Neither can we! In this episode, we take a look at the foundational stories that established Nessie as the legendary cryptid we know and love today and discuss the geologic and biologic feasibility of a large, carnivorous reptile existing in a cold, not-so-ancient, Highland lake. **Uncropped Surgeon's Photograph: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lochness/legend3.html2025 Nessie sighting: https://nypost.com/2025/03/04/lifestyle/loch-ness-monster-sighting-reported-first-in-2025-fantastic/**WE WROTE A BOOK!
