It is said to have a long neck and one or more humps that protrude from the water.” In case you’re wondering what cryptozoology is, it is the study of cryptids.
Cryptids are animals whose existence have not been proven. But a team of people think it’s high time these mysterious reported sightings were proven or disproven once and for all.

The Loch Ness Center is funding for an expedition that will be the biggest of its kind in 50 years. The center, located in Drumnadrochit, will be partnering with a volunteer group called Loch Ness Exploration to carry out renewed search for the mythical creature, commonly known as Nessie.

This will reportedly eclipse the 1972 search by the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau and will take place from Aug. 26- 27, with the Scotland-based organization on the lookout for the next “generation of monster hunters” that will lend a hand in uncovering the truth.
Speaking via The Associated Press, the organization revealed that the search will make use of drones that produce thermal images, infrared cameras, and a hydrophone to “search the waters in a way that has never been done before.”
While the lake is scanned with these technical equipments, it is the job of the volunteers to keep an eye out for any “inexplicable movements” and breaks in the water.
“We are guardians of this unique story, and as well as investing in creating an unforgettable experience for visitors, we are committed to helping continue the search and unveil the mysteries that lie underneath the waters of the famous Loch,” Paul Nixon, general manager of the Loch Ness Centre, said, per CBS News.
The weekend gives an opportunity to search the waters in a way that has never been done before, and we can’t wait to see what we find.”
