The legendary Loch Ness Monster mystery might finally be put to rest after a team of international scientists travelled to Scotland to conduct a DNA survey of the famous lake.

New Zealand scientist Neil Gemmell says the technique the team is using is called “environmental DNA”, a mechanism through which they will collect cells from the living things in the Loch Ness.

However, Professor Gemmell says it’s more likely the search will uncover more discoveries on a microscopic level.
