Question

The report attracted thousands of readers, of whom some were brave enough to see and even try to capture the animal.

A photograph taken by surgeon R.K Wilson on April 19,1934 seemed to show a large creature with a long neck gliding through the water. However ,decades later the photo was said to have been faked by Marmaduke Wetherell after he was hired by the Daily Mail.
