The Internet is abuzz with the latest Loch Ness Monster news coming out of Scotland. It seems a ship captain named Marcus Atkinson snapped a picture of a sonar image showing “a long, 5ft-wide serpent-like creature.” Furthermore, this creature was 75 feet below water level, deep enough that it’s fairly unlikely to be a normal…

The Balance of Nature theory states that an ecological system, if left to its own devices, will essentially self-correct. In other words, if nature gets out of whack, it’ll eventually fix itself. It’s a popular theory, believed by practically everyone…except for ecologists that is.

Does Bigfoot exist? The jury is still out on that question although recent evidence hasn’t proven particularly promising. However, even if Bigfoot doesn’t exist, that doesn’t mean that giant apes never co-existed with humans (or at least with hominids).
