After being called an eel that's just adding insult to injury for poor Nessie
Sit up, man!
It's a disappointment because they created all that fuss and fanfare just to tell us something that we already knew. I look forward to their next project, perhaps to tell us that cattle sheds contain cattle DNA or that eucalyptus DNA is found in koala poo. The full DNA results are interesting right enough but they don't tell us anything about size.know there's a general air of disappointment out there, but I can't help wondering whether those feeling most let down have ever actually seen an eel.
Also, why is this eel story being illustrated by the known hoax of the surgeon's photograph?
That was just a model attached to a Woolworth's toy submarine.

I didn't realise the adapted toy submarine used for the surgeon's pic was from Woolworths specifically .. if that's true, I might be able to find one on ebay one day ..Wiki quotes the largest known eel as measuring 13ft in length.
Impressive, but hardly a monster. I suppose that, if a huge eel were undulating just beneath the surface though, the effect of the waves could give the impression of a larger size.

Yeah, granted - it was kind of deflating. That said, I was probably insulated from any disappointment by a natural mistrust of anything that comes with premature trumpets.
But the DNA just points to the presence of eels which we knew anyhow, there’s no evidence for giant ears other than Gemmel saying yeah that might be possible.I don’t think it’s disappointing at all. I’ve been saying it’s an eel for years. But a possible huge eel is interesting. In fact a genetic lineage that can cross land, breed in the Sargasso Sea and return to the loch would make more sense than some air-breathing Scottish Godzilla that survived an ice age and decided not to emigrate.

Damned autocorrect!

It is obvious that Nessie is not just one thing. As well as being a possible large eel, or other unusual or possibly unknown thing, it most certainly has been mistaken identifications of regular animals, logs, waves, and hoaxes. It's really frustrating for me, who likes paranormal and mysterious topics and possible explanations, to have to listen to the media and many people's assumption that it is one specific thing, some smoking gun. That's so biased and wrong.
