从6世纪到现在,神秘的尼斯湖水怪一直吸引着很多人的目光。每隔一段时间,就有人声称看到这种水怪。然而,苏格兰古生物学家研究发现,尼斯湖水怪并不是苏格兰水域的第一种水怪。苏格兰在1.7亿年前就曾出现水怪,但现在早已灭绝。研究发现这种水怪生活在斯凯岛周边海域的温暖浅水区,是一种新发现的鱼龙种群。它们是一种类似海豚的海洋爬行动物,从口鼻部到尾部的身长可达到4.25米。
From the 6th century until now, the mysterious Loch Ness monster has always attracted many people’s attention. Every once in a while, someone claims to see this monster. However, studies by Scottish paleontologists have found that the Loch Ness monster is not the first monster in the Scottish waters. Water monsters appeared in Scotland 170 million years ago, but they are now extinct. The study found that this monster living in the warm waters around the island of Skye, is a newly discovered fish dragon population. They are dolphin-like marine reptiles that can reach 4.25 meters in length from snout to tail.
