The video explores the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster, known as Nessie, which has intrigued people for nearly 1500 years. A 2019 DNA test conducted in Loch Ness found DNA from about 3,000 species, with eel DNA being the most prevalent. This has led to speculation that Nessie could be a giant eel, such as the European Conger, which can grow up to 10 feet long. The video is part of the series 'History's Greatest Mysteries' and airs on the History Channel.
