I am a marine biologist with a decade of experience working hands on with marine mammals, including dolphins and beluga whales. Recently, I was asked to appear on Loch Ness Monster Conspiracy EXPOSED | History's Greatest Mysteries (Season 4) to talk about some of the theories surrounding the Loch Ness Monster. Here, I take a completely serious, scientific, and not at all immature look at the latest Loch Ness Monster theory.
For over a century, the legend of the Loch Ness Monster has been debated ever since the famed “Surgeon’s Photograph” became famous in 1934. Recently, and hilariously, a professor of molecular ecology at the University of Derby in the U.K proposed that Scotland’s iconic "Nessie" is actually a whale phallus. Could this be true? Is the Loch Ness monster real and if so... is it a whale? A marine biologist and whale expert weighs in and explains why it’s unlikely that there is an excited whale lurking beneath the waters of Loch Ness.
For starters, the legendary black and white photograph that appears to show the neck and head of a sea monster rising above the surface of the lake… is a known hoax. The man behind the photograph, Marmaduke Wetherell, was an eccentric filmmaker who had been publicly ridiculed for previously faking Nessie footprints. His son would go on to confess that they faked the photograph by using a toy submarine.

Second, the professor of molecular ecology who recently proclaimed the Loch Ness Monster to be a marine mammal member… confessed that this would be impossible since Loch Ness is a freshwater lake and there are only a handful of freshwater cetaceans. Whales and dolphins are also mammals, meaning they need to come up for air to breathe. This would lead to countless, confirmed sightings every single day.
However, he stands by his controversial theory when it comes to sea monsters. “Back in day, travelers/explorers would draw what they saw,” wrote Prof. Michael Sweet. “This is where many sea monster stories come from ie. tentacled and alienesque appendages emerging from the water - giving belief to something more sinister lurking beneath….however, many cases it was just whale...”

pitching a nessy.
Immediately pinning this comment 😂
Omg it makes even more sense now what Nessie from apex is based from.
A cute hard little cock or something lmao😂 it's cute how wattson taps it's head.
Kudos to you for getting through that video without totally losing it (she said before she saw the outtakes).
Yeah we had a few takes for sure lol.
I laughed so much at the "Free Willy" joke 😂 That came way too unexpected but so perfect 🤣
We got silly with this one haha
It wasn’t funny
@@mrchihuahuaboy4306 Go and cry in the dark 🙄
@@mrchihuahuaboy4306 😂
@@KPassionate excuse me???
Lots of giggles in this episode, 😄 😂😆 and informative as always. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You really can't take this topic seriously. But you tried. And it was great!
I gave it my best shot haha
If I recall right, a few years back they did DNA tests on Loch Ness water and found plenty of eel DNA, making them think Nessie's some kind of mutated eel. I don't remember nothing about whale willy DNA in there.
Hahaha well I wouldn’t expect too much whale Willy dna. But that is interesting about the eels!
The only eels in Loch Ness don't grow any larger than 4 feet, they are European Eel and are critically endangered.
At the time they gathered DNA samples the eels were reproducing if not getting ready to migrate out the loch and into the sea.

People also forget that Nessie is based of a Plesiosaur, which lived in salt water, if you somehow found one in the loch ness, that there Plesiosaur wouldn't be present tense very long.
There are definitely lots of things wrong with all the Loch Ness theories lol
Was gonna say this. Thanks for stealing my idea jerk😂😂😂
One eyed monster 😂😂😂😂 Great video KP 😍
Hehehe 😂
Omg! I wouldn’t have imagined until I saw your footage and squinted real hard! I saw a program that posed “Nessy” was a Greenland shark which ok I know that there is a river that drains the lake into the ocean and it’s cold enough. But old maritime sailors thought manatee’s were mermaids. I guess a life on a ship with only men they fantasized a lot. Hilarious take though! Sending this to BF!
Hahaha yes the sailors life seemed like a lonely one. Leave it to them to make phalluses out of everything
Always remember to take your vitamin C
I find it funny that "Free Willy" is brought up a few times, and yet it doesn't make sense that a whale or dolphin could have been stuck or washed up into the lock. My uncle and aunt live in Scotland and say that there are so many caves under the surface. Marine mammals wash up on the beach all the time in some parts, and Scotland used to be(sometimes still is) a mostly wet land where it does flood. That coupled with some giant waves...it's likely. Also a marine mammal *could* live in the lock for a while. Yeah they live in the sea, but assuming there were washed up into the lock, the sea water would make the ph saltier and no, given the caves, the lock isn't actually as closed off as you think. Or it wasn't when this all started. Basically, I have the opposite opinion. I think the myth is solved.
you showed images of whales sticking their 'equipment' out of the water, so i don't think it would be impossible ancient sailors to have seen that from a distance in low light or fog and wondered "what the heck is that" without ever getting a good look at the rest of the animal. Not every sailor was a whaler and would have the same knowledge. And it's even possible it never occurred to the whalers since the whales they caught and butchered - one would assume - did not typically have it all hanging out.
Just thought of something. Are there any old boats or parts of one that have damages that are said to be from a sea monster? Even just a recorded case?
I was completely unprepared for the Free Willy joke.
Hahahaha
2:50 " i have sometime seen male with vestigial mammary glands"
My NB ass: androgenous ( is that the term in english? Androgène in french) whale
Hahaha I wasn’t sure if the term only applies to humans or not. Needs research
nope, it's an elephant doing underwater backstroke !
Good eyes!
Yar, because a fisherman can't tell a willy from a Nessie! 🤣
I mean they also thought belugas were mermaids sooooooooo... hahaha
@@KPassionate that is true...
Good job on History’s Greatest Mysteries!
Thank you!
Great video! Had me laughing 😆 !
Omg lol thanks for the laugh KP 😂😂
Imagine making an entire genre of movie, dedicating so much research in the lochness monster. And it ended up being a whale's reproductive organ. Glad it is not the case.
I love how you couldn’t keep your face straight while saying monstrous mammal members! LMFAO!!
Not every sailor was a whaler and would have the same knowledge. And it's even possible it never occurred to the whalers since the whales they caught and butchered - one would assume - did not typically have it all hanging out.
Everything about the blue whale is huge!
"Whale Wankers?" 🤔🤣
🤷♀️ hahahah
@@KPassionate You may or may not be aware of this but the word "wanker" is British slang for...well - let's say similar to what Americans call a "jerkoff". 🤣
Always easy to call someone nutty or a hoax if you weren't there to see it...
In your personal opinion do you think there's a chance that are still fantastical or bizarre creatures dwelling in the deep. Creatures that either we simply have not discovered yet in our fantastical in their attitudes or creatures that might have directly inspired ancient legends
She get so excited when it comes to Free Willys happy for her.
It's true I seen the video buddy got his nephew to help
This actually makes way more sense then a monster lol omg it's hilarious but I'd bet this is true hahaha
I feel like she has been waiting a long time to make the Free Willy joke. Or maybe she does so all the time and everyone rolls their eyes :)
Isn't there a scientific version of cryptozoology that studies the stories, rather than the alleged critters themselves?
Good question. I’m not sure. I would find that interesting as long as everyone was aware it was just fairytales
Folklore studies. In cultural anthropology.
I wouldn't say that it really is a "scientific version of cryptozoology" per se. Cultural anthropology itself is very much a genuine discipline of academic study ... of human beings and human nature. There's no "crypto-" in it. But I'm fairly sure this is what you're thinking of. :)
In any event, if you are interested in the subject, I will say that some of their major texts can be extremely entertaining. It's fascinating to see what stories humans have concocted over the millennia and to think about why we have done so. I highly recommend it.
You can also find historians who specialize in folklore. (My discipline is cultural history so I've met a couple of them.) They take a different approach, often trying to track down the origin of these legends and myths. Most will focus just on one tale and spend years trying to find primary sources tracing it back in time. It's NOT easy research, to be honest. But it often ends up revealing how an entirely normal event gets twisted and exaggerated over time, turning into a legend.
Nessie is actually a swan
Lol perhaps!
The maturity level is high, here🤪 Great video, though!
Lol that would be hilarious
No viewer discretion? 😂
So Loch Ness is cold as shit ! So if it was a whale schmeckle why is there no shrinkage ?
That’s a question for a different video! In short, because there is a literal bone called a baculum in most mammals penises that prevents this problem lol
@@KPassionate Oh God. The irony of the American slang term "boner" is almost too much to bear.
Ok. I'm cutting myself off. Thanks for the laughs.
@@RobespierreThePoof hahahaha
Wankers is a real swear word
So if the whales exposing their male genitalia to the sailors back in the day were adolescents; Makes you wonder if they're doing it for the same reasoning human juvenile delinquents act like wankers to most adult authorities🤔. Or to say, "My flag pole is bigger than your ships and I bet it can't do this.." Which makes me also wonder if their are any reports of any whale intentionally peeing on whaling ships/ crew?
A false killer whale once peed on one of my guests during a program…
👍😂😂😂🤘
Without watching the video, the theory only has one real flaw I can see; I’m pretty sure there aren’t any whales in Loch Ness.
Very beautiful lady
A smart intelligent beautiful woman!! I wonder if she's married??? Lol🤔🤓
She is hahaha
@@KPassionate should have known see the rings now lol lucky man!! Lol 🤣 thanks keep up the good content!!
I would guess male whales have nipples for the same reason men have nipples, because women need them.
Believe it or not most male cetaceans don’t have nipples
Given your love of walruses I'm surprised you didn't mention that while whales may have the largest penises, walruses have the largest baculum. They have an actual 22 inch bone in their boner.
And here's a fun fan theory: some people say that the 'rib' in genesis was a euphemism for a baculum. Humans ate lots of animals with a baculum and noticed those animals had a bone with no analogue in humans. So they made a just-so story: men don't have a baculum because God made Eve out of Adam's baculum.
Hahaha yes well I think if I made every video about walruses somehow then my audience might grow tired of me hahahaha
of course dinosaurs are still alive
there are still tons of stories TODAY
of dinosaurs walking around
