The Loch Ness Monster is a creature in Scotland. It lives in a deep, cold lake. It has a long neck, and it is big like an elephant. It looks like a dinosaur. In fact, some people think it is a dinosaur!
Of course, many people don't believe in the Loch Ness Monster. These people say there aren't any dinosaurs. The monster only brings tourists and money to the area.
