Well it looks like we have to start over on deciding what kind of dinosaur the Loch Ness monster is. It seems that the original idea that the "snake threaded through the body of a turtle", as some have described it, is a "plesiosaur, a marine reptile that lived 160 million years ago" - is not holding up to scientific scrutiny.
"The osteology of the neck makes it absolutely certain that the plesiosaur could not lift its head up swan-like out of the water," Noč says, ruling the reptile out as a candidate for the Loch Ness monster.
Ohhh... well.... back to the beginning. I guess we'll have to catch it now and do some genetic tests or something.

Genetic tests comparing it to...?
In my opinion, we should just get one pregnant and watch the development of the Nessie baby. We could probably trace its evolutionary heritage more easily that way. Plus, I've always wanted to knock up a monster.
