Some theories about the Loch Ness Monster include:
* It is a plesiosaur. Plesiosaurs were large marine reptiles that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. They had long necks, long tails, and four flippers. Some people believe that Nessie may be a surviving plesiosaur.
* It is a giant eel. Giant eels can grow to be very large, and they have been known to attack humans. Some people believe that Nessie may be a giant eel.
* It is a hoax. Some people believe that Nessie is a hoax, and that the sightings are all fake. There have been a number of hoaxes involving Nessie over the years, including the famous "Surgeon's Photograph" from 1934.
There is no definitive evidence to support any of these theories. Nessie remains a mystery, and it is likely that we will never know for sure what it is.
