He said there should be DNA from the monster's skin, urine and other things. Gemmell says he will test water from the loch. Some people say they are just car tyres floating in the water. All of the photographs that people have taken of Nessie over the years are blurred. They have even sent sonar equipment to the bottom of the loch, which is 230 metres deep. Many scientists have tried to find the monster before.

The word 'loch' is the Scots word for 'lake'.

Sightings of the Loch Ness Monster are often in the newspapers. Professor Gemmell says this will show if the monster really exists or not. A research team, led by Professor Neil Gemmell of the University of Otago, will use a technique called eDNA sampling to try and find some of Nessie's DNA. Now, scientists from New Zealand will use a special technique to see if there really is a Loch Ness Monster. Since then, there have been many sightings and a few photographs. It looks kind of like a dinosaur, with a small head on a long neck and humps on its back. It is called the Loch Ness Monster, or 'Nessie' for short. There is a legendary monster that people say lives in the deep Loch Ness lake in the north of Scotland.
