A Nessie for the Yanks
November 22nd 2009 05:06
First it was Scotland, then Canada. Now a "Nessie" has turned up in the States! Reports of a Loch Ness type creature are turning up in the Florida area. The animal has been sighted in Florida's canals and was first thought to be a large snake before a fin was claimed to have been seen.
The Madeira Beach, Florida area creature, nicknamed "Normandy Nessie" after Normandy Road where one of the first spotters lives, is reported to be around 15-20 feet long which equates to around 4.5 to just over 6 meters.
As with any mystery of nature, there are several doubters. In the Gulf Coast area, there are several manatees and many believe this is the culprit. Others believe it is one of the huge snakes which exist in Florida. Still, before anything is disproved, let's remember mention of a fin.
Whatever the verdict, it gives us something to talk about!
