Les Scientifiques Viennent de Résoudre le Mystère du Monstre du Loch Ness

Sympa

Depuis des années, les gens se sont demandé si le monstre du Loch Ness était réel, mais les scientifiques ont peut-être enfin résolu l'énigme ! Une équipe de chercheurs a étudié les eaux du Loch Ness et n'a trouvé aucune preuve de reptile géant ou d'aucune créature préhistorique tapie en dessous. Au lieu de cela, ils ont découvert que la légende pourrait avoir commencé à cause d'anguilles géantes—oui, d'énormes anguilles ondulantes qui vivent dans le loch. Des tests ADN ont montré que le Loch Ness contient une quantité importante d'ADN d'anguille, laissant supposer que certaines pourraient atteindre une taille bien plus grande que la normale, pouvant ainsi être confondues avec un monstre. Bien que cela ne soit pas aussi excitant qu'un dinosaure vivant, cela explique bien toutes ces observations mystérieuses. Alors, désolé pour les fans de Nessie—il semble bien que le monstre n’ait été qu’une très grosse anguille dès le départ !

00:00Scientists have finally elucidated the mystery of the Loch Ness monster.

00:05Ready for a scoop, it is not a real monster.

00:08Maybe a dinosaur that has crossed the ages,

00:11or simply a pile of debris floating on the water.

00:14Thanks to the many discoveries about this enigmatic being,

00:18we have evidence to tell you a whole other story.

00:22In 1933, George Spicer and his wife were driving along the shores of Loch Ness

00:29when they saw an imposing silhouette with a long neck crossing the road.

00:34The appearance evoked a creature straight out of prehistory,

00:38a reptilian-like beast, different from anything they had seen before.

00:43This event marked the beginning of the brilliant propagation of theories

00:47about the existence of the Loch Ness monster.

00:50One of the most famous observations of the Loch Ness monster took place a year later,

00:55in 1934, when a man seized a cliché that had become emblematic of Nessie,

01:01the nickname given to it.

01:03A female monster.

01:05In any case, this photo, called Surgeon's Photograph,

01:09showed a silhouette with a raised neck emerging from the water.

01:12For decades, it served as evidence to those who believed

01:15the reality of the monster to be hard as iron.

01:18But many years later, the deception was revealed.

01:21One of the protagonists involved in the taking of the cliché

01:24admitted that it was a carefully orchestrated hoax.

01:27The image had been staged and, during its publication, severely reshaped.

01:32This manipulation gave the illusion that the creature was much more imposing than in reality,

01:37thus fueling speculations about the existence of the monster.

01:42In the 1960s, one of the first major scientific studies devoted to the mystery of Loch Ness was carried out.

01:48A team of researchers, armed with a sonar, methodically explored the depths of the lake,

01:53devoting long hours to the search for evidence attesting the presence of a large creature.

01:58What they discovered was disconcerting.

02:00Several moving objects have been detected in the depths of the lake,

02:04without any clear explanation being able to be advanced as to their nature.

02:08Although the team was unable to obtain irrefutable evidence,

02:11this discovery reinforced the idea that an imposing creature

02:14may be living in the waters of Loch Ness.

02:17Subsequently, research on the mystery of the Loch Ness monster never ceased to resurface.

02:22In 1972, thanks to underwater photography,

02:25researchers managed to capture disturbing images, briefly reviving the public's hope.

02:31However, despite the arousal, these first studies turned out to be far from conclusive.

02:38Of course, not everyone adhered to the fantasy theories surrounding the Loch Ness monster.

02:43A professor of zoology at the University of Oxford

02:46has thus affirmed that the existence of this creature was a biological impossibility.

02:51Here, my pediatrician said the same thing about me.

02:54In any case, he emphasizes that no skeletal remains have ever been discovered in the region.

02:59In addition, no fisherman has ever captured in his nets

03:03an animal that could correspond to the description of the monster.

03:07To his eyes, all this shows that the legend is not based on anything tangible.

03:11As for the famous photographs supposed to prove the existence of the monster,

03:15their explanation is, in his opinion, the most prosaic.

03:19He advances that these clichés show nothing other than floating debris or birds,

03:23such as cormorants, whose long neck and low position on the water can easily lead to confusion.

03:29Faced with objections, he invokes human psychological biases

03:32and underlines our tendency to overestimate the size of objects,

03:36especially when we only see them for a brief moment.

03:39This phenomenon still amplifies when the observer is animated by the desire to see what he is hoping for.

03:45A large number of these alleged clichés show an animal with a long neck and a small head,

03:50which led some to think that they were in the presence of a plesiosaur,

03:54a giant marine reptile that lived 215 million years ago,

03:58before disappearing at the same time as the dinosaurs.

04:01The hypothesis that a plesiosaur would have survived to this day

04:05has been circulating since the first observations of the monster.

04:08However, this researcher categorically rejects this idea.

04:11He recalls that no fossil of a plesiosaur after 66 million years has been discovered in the region.

04:17In short, the existence of a prehistoric creature buried in the waters of Loch Ness

04:22rests on no scientific basis.

04:26Another theory, this time defended by a British naturalist

04:30who devoted more than 50 years to the study of the phenomenon,

04:33adopts a less spectacular approach.

04:36According to him, most of the testimonies reporting the presence of a creature with a long neck

04:40would only be simple errors in identifying much more ordinary animals.

04:44He suggests that the witnesses think they see a sea snake.

04:48Stories mentioning the appearance of the Loch Ness monster have existed since the 6th century,

04:53long before the invention of Scottish whiskey and many other explanations.

04:57The first stories describe a group of large creatures with elongated bodies,

05:01resembling those of snakes and harboring several bones.

05:05Some even claim that they reached the size of a boat,

05:08while others swear to have seen a silhouette swimming in the waters.

05:12Many of these observations of sea snakes could actually be misunderstandings

05:17or exaggerations related to the common fauna of the loch,

05:20such as big fish or even birds.

05:23It could be large eels, a well-known species to populate the waters of Loch Ness.

05:27In motion, these elongated and sinuous creatures

05:31could easily give the illusion of a wavy silhouette.

05:34Observed from afar, especially in low-light conditions or misty weather,

05:39they could be confused with something much more enigmatic.

05:44The third theory goes a step further.

05:47Nessie would be nothing more than a series of stationary waves.

05:50These phenomena appear when the crevices of two boats meet,

05:54forming a prominence on the surface of the water which, seen from afar, could evoke the creature.

05:59The enthusiasts of Loch Ness even demonstrated this phenomenon

06:02thanks to images filmed in Fort Augustus, where a river spills into the lake.

06:07These enthusiasts also had great projects.

06:10They intended to use drones equipped with infrared cameras and underwater microphones

06:15to explore the depths of the loch.

06:17With its 37 km long and more than 200 m deep, the Loch Ness is truly immense.

06:23They were not convinced that these technologies would put an end to the debate.

06:26However, despite all their efforts, Nessie remains untraceable.

06:30But the Loch Ness monster is not the only creature to challenge scientific explanations.

06:35Many testimonies report the existence of Yeti and Sasquatches,

06:39without any tangible evidence confirming them.

06:42Some even made films in the hope of unraveling their mystery.

06:46However, according to the most recent research,

06:48it is unlikely that tangible evidence of their existence has ever been discovered.

06:53Science claims to be able to explain Sasquatch observations.

06:57And here is how.

06:58Biologists specializing in the study of wild fauna

07:01have been using photographic traps installed in remote areas for a long time

07:05to capture images of stealthy animals.

07:08These cameras detect movements and take clichés,

07:11thus offering valuable data on the biodiversity of ecosystems.

07:15As photographic traps accumulate clichés,

07:18the diversity of species is widening.

07:21However, after a while, this figure reaches the ceiling,

07:25indicating that no new species are detected.

07:28Although it is impossible to have absolute certainty,

07:31researchers estimate that after a massive deployment of cameras,

07:34the probability of discovering new species,

07:37in particular large ones like Bigfoot or Yeti,

07:40becomes extremely low.

07:42Studies based on these photographic traps

07:45have been conducted for years in the regions where these creatures are supposed to live.

07:50But no tangible evidence has ever been found.

07:53Instead, the only traces of Bigfoot or Yeti

07:57come from blurry photographs or shaky videos

08:01taken by witnesses claiming to have seen them.

08:04In addition, our knowledge of biology

08:07makes the existence of Bigfoot highly improbable.

08:10Often described as a great monkey,

08:12it should have evolved in North America.

08:14However, the great monkeys appeared in Africa,

08:17and the only one to have reached the Americas is Homo sapiens,

08:20whose ancestors crossed the Bering Strait

08:23only 16,000 years ago.

08:25A very short period of time

08:27to allow the emergence of a new species like Bigfoot.

08:30As disappointing as it may be for cryptozoologists,

08:34the scientific evidence converges to an undisputed conclusion.

08:37Beings such as Bigfoot or Yeti

08:40are much more related to myth than to reality.

08:43After decades of in-depth research,

08:45it can now be said without reserve

08:47that science has uncovered the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster.

08:50It belongs to the realm of fiction.

08:52And you, what do you think?
