Monster Hunters Coming to Ireland in Search of Mythical Eel With 'Head Like A Horse' - Irish Mirror

Despite the dramatic title, this piece tells of the refreshingly sensible approach to crypto-stuff taken by Richard Freeman of Devon, England. He's head of the Fortean Centre of Zoology and is "providing support" for a US team who will visit the lakes of Connemara and use "state-of-the-art equipment" to learn more about "what causes such growth in eels." Meanwhile we learn of Giant Loch Ness Monster-like Sea Monster Fossils Found in Antarctica. "It is the largest elasmosaurid in the world," i.e. a long-gone critter which, even if it wasn't related to our dear Nessie, looks so darn much like most of us think it should. With a long neck, flippers, and sharp teeth, this cousin of the plesiosaur was found in 1989 and leaves Paul Seaburn wondering if any of its kind could have survived the mass extinction of 66 million years ago and ended up in Scotland.
