 One of the most iconic photos in modern history may just have been solved as the Loch Ness Monster mystery hits the headlines once more. Wait till you hear this. Common in nature is the sight of a whale, tummy up, penis facing skyward. Yes, whales like to get the sun on the places where the sun don't shine, and it could be that a whale accessed the waters of Loch Ness through underwater cave systems linking to the sea. So the Loch Ness Monster mystery may be nothing more than a giant willy sticking out of the water, according to a study published in a paper in the archives of natural history, and the study speculated that many accounts of large mysterious sea creatures with serpent-like tails are actually large whales and its snake-like penis. The researchers added that other accounts could be attributed to the male members of certain whale species, with the smallest one ever recorded measuring a whopping 1.8 meters long and are sometimes spotted rising from the water during mating rituals, and this theory is focused on the famous black and white photograph of Nessie, taken by Robert Kenneth Wilson in the 1930s, and the famous image is compared with another photo taken of a whale penis rising from the water. And I tell you what guys, this is a pretty convincing explanation as the Loch Ness does reach the North Sea. At the northern end there is the Bonan Arrows which opens out into Loch Dock-Four, which feeds the River Ness in a further section of canal to Inver Ness, ultimately leading to the North Sea via the Moray Firth, but what do you guys think about this one anyway?
