Does a Welsh Loch Ness monster lurk in city lake?
It looks like there is defiantly something there. I will be talking to Steve later today so I will have more info very soon.The creature is normally the preserve of warmer climes such as Africa, Asia and Australia, but fisherman Steve Jenkins is convinced he saw a specimen in Morfa Enterprise Zone’s Pluck Lake.
Mr Jenkins, who lives nearby, was on Sunday walking his dog around the lake, which is the size of four football pitches, when he saw what he first thought was a log in the water.
He said yesterday, “It was definitely a crocodile. There was a white van submerged in the water and it swam over the top of it so I had a good look. It was a metre long and had a long tail.
“I’ve been ribbed mercilessly since I reported it to the police – people whistle the tune of Crocodile Shoes when they see me. But I don’t care what people think, I know what I saw.”
Article also feature Beastwatch another well known organisation involved in British Croc hunts mentioned earlier. But why does it claim this is Welsh equivalent to Loch Ness have they forgotten about Teggy of Bala Lake? And of course whatever is in Langorse lake. I was trying to avoid it being called after Nessie but it have failed it looks like it is the Pluck Ness Monster. Morfadil sounds better.
It also go into the Daily Mail:
Hunt launched after dog walker spots 3ft-long crocodile
But professor of natural history, Paul Brain, said it was possible for it to survive in the colder British climate.
He said: "The crocodile would simply slow down or even shut down for a while during cold weather then spring back to life when the water gets warmer.
"There are a lot of exotic pets out there and this could be one which outgrew its tank and the lake may have been a suitable place to dump it."
A spokesman for Swansea Police said: "We have visited the lake several times and not seen anything - but we are not ruling it out."
A few extra details there.
