I am the Loch Ness Monster. My nickname is 'Nessie' and people have been hunting me for generations. I am nine hundred and forty-seven years old and have lived in my grotto in Loch Ness for all of my life. Hello! I'm Nessie!

I am basically quite a friendly monster. I have only ever eaten one human, but he tasted very bad so I went back to fish. I know I look a bit scary because I am so huge and my neck is so long, but I really can't help the way I look any more than you can. |

|
This is my mum and dad. Do I look like them? My mum had a very long neck and my dad was very dark and furry so I have inherited all of these features. | ||||||
|
On top of that I come from a very long line of monsters which date back to Prehistoric times. I believe I am distantly related to a dinosaur called 'Mamenchisaurus' which lived in the late Jurassic period. It had a body about twenty-five metres long and a fourteen-metre neck! It also had a tiny head, a huge, bulky body and possibly had two brains - that's probably why I am so intelligent and no-one has ever caught me. | ||||||
