THE LOCH NESS MONSTER


The Loch Ness Monster, also reffered to as "Nessie", is a creature or group of creatures said to live in Loch Ness, a deep freshwater lake (known in Scotland as a loch) near the city of Inverness. Nessie is generally considered a lake monster. Along with Bigfoot and Yeti, Nessie is perhaps the best-known mystery in cryptozoology. "Nessie" was born by a journalist in a newspaper article in 1933 after the first modern sighting of a monster in loch ness was reported. The oldest sighting on record dates back to AD 565 when St Columba was said to have seen a large monster in the water. Since the first newspaper report thousands of sightings have been reported on the loch and on land, many report the long neck and head emerging from the loch, others see moving shapes and objects on the loch surface or a large beast crossing the road in front of them.

Over 50 images have been recorded but only six of these have stood the test of time, the others are either fakes or mis-identifications. The most famous of these images is the 'surgeon' photo taken by gynacologist Kenneth Wilson in 1934.

His photo showed what looked like a large neck and head emerging from the loch although with nothing visible in the background a scale could never be found. It is now pretty much agreed that the surgeon photo was faked by using a plastic-wood model attached to a toy submarine.

In 1968 the first sonar investigation took place in an attempt to track large objects in the loch, this was unsuccessful. The second attempt Operation Deepscan in 1987 employed 20 sonar boats and made 3 possible contacts between 77 and 178 metres. The latest scan was made in 1992 to build up a picture of the bottom of the loch, no evidence of caves or anomolies were found. The picture reproduced here from the 1987 expedition may look impressive but questions have been raised about the high level of computer enhancement.

Many theories have been put forward to explain what is in the loch but it is a mystery to this day. The most popular of these was the plesiosaur theory. An extinct dinosaur that some believe has survived in the loch without detection for millions of years. It was only the 'surgeon' picture that held any real evidence for this theory which is now discounted by most serious researchers. The ancient plesiosaur is also an air breather and a surface dweller which makes it a very unlikely candidate. Although lots of sightings have been made of a creature resembling a plesiosaur (or at least at long neck and small head) some if not all of these have been influenced or shaped by the media.

There are many less exciting explanations for the numerous sigtings in the loch such as birds and deers. Otters are another candidate that could also relate to some land sightings. The loch has a wealth of other phenomena that could lend a hand in the explanation such as gas bubbles arising from decomposing matter shifting rocks, logs and assorted debris around the loch. The loch which at its deepest measures 230 metres can also give rise to thermoclines (cyclic temperature variation) which can also displace objects. The wakes of boats have been known to cross the loch for up to 20 minutes and have often been mistaken for nessie. Especially hot summers can create a mirage effect across the loch that seems to magnify all objects(curiously the first sighting in 1933 occured in one of the hottest summers on record).

Other known creatures found populating the loch are eels which live on the bottom of the loch but seem to thin to be misidentified as a monster and seals which were videotaped fon the loch in September 1998. The seals which travel from the sea via the river ness have led others to speculate that the beast may be a whale travelling via the same route. Unfortunatly the chances of a whale swimming up the river unnoticed are slim as they are airbreathers and need to surface regulary.

An extinct long necked ancestor of the whale, the zeuglodon was also forwarded as a candidate in the midst of the dinosaur theories. Like its modern equivelent however, this creature was also an air breather but over a 100 million years of evolution can do wonders for a species.

If there is a creature in the loch that's been popping up to keep the tourist trade alive than the best contender so far is the sturgeon. This mammouth fish which can grow up to 20ft(6m) and live for a hundred years would certainly account for the many 'upturned boat' sightings, but why have no carcasses been found?

Many people doubt that there can be any unusual creature in the loch but it is worth noting that the exsistence of the mountain gorilla was only officiallly recognised in 1902. Before this time it was only known in reports as a hairy beast living in the jungle before science looked hard enough to find it. This, one of the most enduring of cryptozoology mysteries could be solved at anytime if the right photo is taken or the right evidence found, or it could remain forever a pilgramage for nessie hunters and the sales of many cuddly toys and postcards.

Either way, regardless of whether anything is actually in the loch or not, the Loch Ness Monster has some significance for the local economy. Dozens of hotels, boating tour operators, and merchants of stuffed animals and related trinkets owe part of their livelihood to this monster, although people visit the loch for many reasons other than to see the monster. Hence, the legend is likely to endure for quite some time
 
Evo i ja nesto da napisem.
Oduvek sam voleo letece zmije pa sam sad i iskopo nesto o njima
ARABIAN FLYING SNAKE
From ancient times stories about flying snakes in southern Arabia have abounded. Most of these stories were connected with frankincense trees. In ancient days it was believed that flying snakes inhabited the groves of frankincense trees, protecting them from intruders but also making it much more difficult for the owners of the trees to harvest the precious resin.

Recorded stories have come down to us from Greek historians like Herodotus (430 BC), Strabo, and others. However Pliny the Elder considered such stories to be fantasy.

However, it is interesting to note that even today there are people in the area who believe in flying snakes.

Oral traditions like these that have survived to today are largely independent of written sources, thus strengthening the argument that perhaps there is, or once was, a basis for the existence of such creatures.

Izvinite ali nisam uspeo da nadjem sliku:(
 
e, ovako...prije nego ova tema postane...kupusiste
ajde da opet usaglasimo neka...pravila (opet);

tema je zamisljena kao neka vrsta atlasa (s kritickim osvrtom na svaku vrstu...)
znaci, kad navodite nekog kriptida
napisete sve sto ste iskopali o njemu, postavite fotke I LINKOVE
zatim najslobodnije komentirajte - po mogucnosti kriticki, iznoseci argumente i svjezije informacije...

ova varijanta - milion slika, bez linkova i s copy/paste tekstovima nije
narocito dobra - samo se pravi rusvaj, a informacije su vrlo...oskudne...

faja. :)

Једнорози су највероватније носорози, које су неки далеки путници покушавали да опишу својим сународницима као животиње налик на коња, али са једним рогом. У нашој народној митологији, то је (мислим) инорог, за кога се веровало да његов рог има нарочита својства, па тако кад се сагне да пије воду на мутној реци или бари, оног тренутка када умочи рог учини воду чистом, па се тада све остале животиње сјате да пију.

Не знам како ми овде није пао на памет рунасти носорог:

200px-Woolly_rhino-Mauricio_Anton.jpg


У питању је врста носорога са крзном који је живео на подручјима континенталне климе Европе и Азије, између осталог и на словенском простору од Балкана до Сибира. Сматра се да је изумро око 8.000 година пре нове ере, мада је и ту тешко проценити да ли је у том периоду потпуно нестао, или му је бројност пала на ниво угрожених врста и као такав преживљавао још неко време у појединим областима. Тако се, на пример, показало да су мамути постојали још један временски период након што им је бројност драстично опала, а који се период узима за време њиховог истребљења.

Рунасти носорог, мамут и европски бизон су били мета ловаца и храна тадашњих људи. Верује се да је и то био један од разлога изумирања рунастог носорога. Мамута такође нема, а европски бизон је реткост и угрожена врста... многи чак не знају ни да постоји. Словенска реч за бизона је зубр или жубр, али га овде не знамо под тим именом јер га овде нема, па је и име нестало. Занимљиво је да је бизон национални симбол Белорусије јер је она једна од ретких земаља где ове животиње још увек има у природном окружењу.

Због специфичног изгледа рунастог носорога, мислим да је заиста могуће да су у време његовог изумирања и када је постајало све теже пронаћи га или видети негде, на основу његовог изгледа почеле да се испредају легенде о инорогу и једнорозима. А како једну такву животињу описати некоме ко је никад није видео, него као коња са једним рогом који му избија из чела...

Mongolian Death Worm (allghoi khorkhoi)

mongolian-death-worm.jpg


Izgledom, navodno, podsjeca na crijevnog parazita; odatle mu i ime...

Prica se, po carsiji, da nastanjuje jug pustinje Gobi u Mongoliji.
Prvi put je pomenut 1926. u knjizi "On the Trail of Ancient Man", prof. Roya Chapmana Andrewsa, americkog paleontologa (po kojem je, navodno, skrojen lik Indiane Jonesa...;)). koji bas i nije bio ubjedjen u postojanje te zivuljke, ali mu je izgleda cijela prica bila dovoljno zanimljiva da je pomene u svojoj knjizi.

Ivan Mackerle (slovenski, mislim, lovac na cudovista) pise slijedece:

"Sausage-like worm over half a metre (20 inches) long, and thick as a man’s arm, resembling the intestine of cattle. Its tail is short, as [if] it were cut off, but not tapered. It is difficult to tell its head from its tail because it has no visible eyes, nostrils or mouth. Its colour is dark red, like blood or salami… It moves in odd ways – either it rolls around or squirms sideways, sweeping its way about. It lives in desolate sand dunes and in the hot valleys of the Gobi desert with saxaul plants underground. It is possible to see it only during the hottest months of the year, June and July; later it burrows into the sand and sleeps. It gets out on the ground mainly after the rain, when the ground is wet. It is dangerous, because it can kill people and animals instantly at a range of several metres."

Znaci, u pitanju je zivuljka koja prsce smrtonosnu kiselinu i proizvodi elektricni naboj
+ taj... otrov izaziva koroziju metala...he he he :lol:

Navodno je i sam mongolski premijer, kao i drugi mlogobrojni ocevici, vido ovog crvuljka, ali za divno cudo, niko sa sobom nije imao fotoaparat...

Crv, izgleda, vecinu godine hibernira. Aktivan je iskljucivo u Junu i Julu.
Zasto, kako - to je samo njemu jasno...

Postoje razne "teorije" o tome tko je zapravo u pitanju;
- neka vrsta slicna "elektricnoj jegulji",
- neka vrsta "zmije pljuvacice",
-"magicna zivuljka" ; neka vrsta Cuvara koja je "zaostala" iza neke razvijene, davno izgubljene drevne civizacije koja je tu zivjela...

Sve u svemu, zabavan i inspirativan neki crvi,
al brz i neuhvatljiv mamu mu...ko svi kriptidi...a? :lol::lol::lol:
