Who Studies Nessie?

Believe it or not there is a real study of the Loch Ness monster. It is something called cryptozoology. Cryptozoology is the study of hidden (undiscovered) animals.  This means that people who study animals that have been claimed to be seen and are yet still undiscovered ( some examples are the yeti, Bigfoot, and sea serpents) are called cryptozoologists. The way they study these animals is by studying the evidence others have found such as pictures, videos, eyewitness accounts, but some just go out and look for the evidence themselves. Even in modern day time now there is still a crytozoologist living at Lake Loch Ness year round. Some cryptozoologists dedicate their lives to the search and have not seen a bit of evidence. Proving that the Lochness monster is real is very important to these dedicated people who have seen no evidence yet they still believe.
    But, you dont have to deticate your life to the Loch Ness monster to study it. There are people who organize expeditions to search for the Loch Ness monster. An example of a Loch Ness monster expedition is the Sir Edward Mountain Expedition. He read a book on the monster and decided to order a search made up of twenty men all with binoculars and cameras. They stayed at the Loch for five weeks, but sadly none of their information was conclusive.
    So as you can see you dont have to have your whole life wrapped around the study of the Loch Ness monster, in fact you dont even have to know barely anything, to study it, but you still can.
