Words belong to the American zoologist Ivan Sanderson. He, as you recall, took part in the survey body “prehistoric man”. He was particularly attracted by all the mysterious in nature. It was San derson was the creator of “Society for the Study of unexplained”. He is ready to immediately fly to another hemisphere, barely reaches the ear of a mysterious phenomenon worthy of attention of scientists.

He always has a chance to risk their scientific credibility. In seeking to explain the unexplained, he often makes a rather risky hypothesis, causing the attacks and even ridicule. However, because the dethronement and false hypothesis - a step forward compared with the omission of a lazy mind.

Sanderson once saw unknown monster in the waters of the African rivers. Not far from the boat vzdybilos something huge and revom plyuhnulos back. A zoologist brilliantly-etched black head, like a seal, but the size of an adult hippopotamus.
- Mkuum-Bemba! - Africans cried out in horror and fell to the bottom of the boat.
They are very scared, but not very surprised. The beast was familiar to them. According to them, these animals have long found here. The animal, whose name appears at the Sanderson heard from Africans, conducted in a lake in the Congo. This mokele-Mbemba, a well-known to local residents.

The first expedition to search for it was filled back in 1913, but the war interrupted her. The expedition was able only to record the stories of Africans on the animal the size of an elephant with a mobile neck, and a strong tail, similar to the tail of a crocodile.

Hiking to the lake is already in the seventies of our century have made three expeditions: the French, American and American-Congolese.

The first proper Congolese expedition in 1983 led a Biologist Anyanya, a graduate of the University of Havana. She arrived in those places where people only recently seen the mysterious creature, with fierce breaks revom trees. Anyanya made copies and photos of his footprints. He picked up a few pieces of dust, with a bronze tint, leather. However, the mokele-Mbemba before the expedition, very difficult to break hard to the lake, and did not appear.
Only on the last day …

Accompanied Anyanya Africans excited zasheptali, pointing to the dark surface of the water: “Look at this! Look at this!”
“It was something with the ophidian head on long neck.

Anyanya rushed forward in shallow water, lovya creature in the camera viewfinder. The film quickly end. Then the biologist has been looking through a strong lens. He saw the black, the sun shining on the back of the head, smooth brown neck and a broad trehmetrovuyu back.

Being at the approach of people slowly immersed. Only the head and neck for some time above the surface about meter. Then the head disappeared.
Anyanya rushed to the camp, shells, and the boat went to the place of the meeting. Water has been fixed. Monster disappeared. Biologist has been cautious in the conclusions. As the magazine “Knowledge - force”, he only admitted that mokele-Mbemba roughly corresponds to our perception of a brontosaurus …

Traces of the same “trehpalogo” as found Sanderson, met on the shores of New Zealand, Tasmania, Australia and tridevyat land from them, in one of the islands off the coast of the USA and later in Florida. They left on shelf out of the water a huge creature. In addition trehpalyh prints two paws remained deep lanes, which were similar to the trace of a heavy tail.
Such traces might belong … dinosaurs!

Perhaps, said Sanderson, the so-called terrestrial dinosaurs lived there, like the fact, seen in Africa, coastal swamps and rivers, took to the sea shore, and gradually learned the new elements? Seventy - Eighty million years - enough time to fully adapt to the marine environment.

Sanderson did not insist that a mysterious “trehpaly” necessarily “neodinozavr. But, he observes, “the fact that no dinosaur still alive no one has so far not seen, yet does not prove that they do not exist.”
And Sanderson, like many, again refers to the “extinct” One hundred million years ago, a contemporary of dinosaurs, kisteperuyu fish, or tselakanta, who in 1938 appeared in person - a healthy, not fossil. ” Is still do not live in many places all known next of kin and age of dinosaurs - Ordinary crocodiles?

Legends of the sea snakes, one generation of seamen transferred to another three thousand years ago, with almost all the seas and oceans. These monsters seen on the road to the ice in Greenland and in the warm waters of Polynesia. Witnesses whose testimony had become fairly well write about a hundred years ago, told of a monster, coming from a high speed and at a few meters, rises above the water zmeeobraznuyu neck with a head like the head of a dragon. In the top of the similarities, it is razevalo, then shut down fall with terrible jaws.

Unlike many other cases of mysterious creatures, there are no witnesses were single, and commands the ships, there are tens and hundreds of people. A case in which the passengers in front of the ocean vessel monster attacked the small boat and overturned it. It happened in the seventies of the last century, when, unlike today, loose strap a camera was not a constant companion nearly every traveler and tourist.

However, this age is not a poor facts. In 1947, for example, marine snake hit the ship “Santa Clara”, and in 1964 two diver was able to make pictures of a wounded beast, selected on the shallow water.

Then swept by the light striking the news: Japanese fishermen catch of sea snake and the dead, it seems, he was … plesiosaurus! Again, a guest from an infinitely distant past: this type of giant pangolin is considered to be extinct a hundred million years ago.
Unfortunately, the corpse spread. In tropical waters preserve finder could not be identified. Remains monster raised deck trawler “Dzuyomaru, photographed, measured and … thrown overboard.

Riddle and has remained a mystery. One can only argue who is right: there are scientists who do not doubt that the network is raised to the surface plesiosaurus, or who assumes that the focus should be on the remains of a gigantic seal, who met in the waters of the world around twenty million years ago. And perhaps the truth on the side of the skeptics who claim that corruption, as many are no longer part of the torso, could turn into “plesiosaurus” the corpse of a big shark?

It seems none the mysterious substance has not been a truly world-wide fame as a Nessy. You probably also heard about a “Loch Ness monster”, and therefore limit the shortest help.

Lake Loch Ness in Scotland, like a romantic legend: the ruins of a medieval castle, mountains of dark coniferous forests, gloomily sky and frequent fog.

This lake is known, it seems, almost everything. We know that the length of forty kilometers, the width of an average of about two places in the depth of over three hundred meters, the bottom of granite with deep cracks and caves, as well as remnants of ancient buildings that were once located on the banks, and later sank. Known properties of local waters, of which one is extremely upsetting to everyone interested in discovering secrets Loch Ness: the water color like strong tea, and the transparency of its minuscule.

First polulegendarnye news that the Loch Ness elected their residence underwater monster, refer to the VI century BC. Since the thirties of this century, has accumulated more than four thousand testimonies of people who saw it. Filled with dozens of expeditions for the discovery. It has been photographed.

And it is still not found, although at present there started in the course of recent technological innovations, ranging from small submarines, underwater camera and projectors, electronic sensors and so-called sonar, sending pulses of water and they “feel” everything that is in the lake or on its bottom.

The search was not fruitless.
Sonar has been found in deep water some large moving objects. Does this mean that they actually managed to catch the traffic monster, known worldwide for tender named Nessy? Disclosure of the secrets of nature requires tremendous effort, perseverance, ability to cope with frustration and a thousand times recheck the facts.

In essence, what the Loch Ness? The relatively small body of water in the ancient and densely populated European countries. Apart from the expeditions are seeking Nessy employs a lot of fanatics. Some of them even settled on the lake shore. With the world’s tourists come here with hope: what if they are lucky? And this interest is not always disinterestedness, because of proof of the existence of Nessy announced a big cash prize.

But if such a complex and lengthy searches for the lake were in Scotland, what to say then about the Himalayas and the Pamirs, on the deep ocean, on lakes in the cold of Yakutia, which also saw the strange animal, the impassable swamps and tropical forests! What can be done tremendous work there to be able to firmly say “yes” or “no”!

So far, the response of the world did not hear from researchers and Loch Ness. You can take a typical view of an eminent paleontologist, having examined the results of the sonar:
- We can no longer have to pretend that it is a myth or legendary creature. Something, it seems, lives in the lake, but we do not know what kind of beast.

And if that “something” would be reptiles resembling plesiosaurus extinct, it will, perhaps, even change the attitudes of scientists and exciting to the problem of the fantastic to the present day large animals left outside the purview of science.

There were, of course, and other witnesses. There are some photos Nessy, however, no more distinct than the long-known. The difference is that in one picture in the predawn fog can be vaguely discerned something like the outline of three “monsters”. Doubles Nessy allegedly seen at a northern Swedish lakes and even in several places.

A mkuum-Bemba, also known as “mokele-Mbemba?
See a close, it is of “poluslona-poludrakona also failed. The expedition of scientists going to the Congo, has found only traces of the strange, and with them the vegetation looked as though it hurt his tail huge reptile. Regasters American traveler assured that he and his several meetings in the jungles of Congo unknown beast roar of which was recorded on tape. Scientists who listened to it and compare it with the help of special equipment with the voices of all the African animals, acknowledged that the roar belongs unknown substance.

Enthusiasts continue to search for, seek rede mysterious and unknown. Few said a categorical “no.” Maybe from the indisputable judgments warns all the same old top tselakant, alive suddenly appeared from stomillionoletney given shocks to our contemporaries?
