A biologist says he believes a mysterious creature spotted in Alaska's Lake Iliamna may in fact be nothing more spectacular than a large sleeper shark.
Writing in the Alaska Dispatch, biologist Bruce Wright says he thinks the same kind of shark may be behind Scotland's famous Loch Ness Monster as well.
Pacific sleeper sharks, also known as Greenland sharks, are commonly seen in the waters around Alaska and have been known to grow up to 14 feet in length. If a sleeper shark has managed to survive in Lake Iliamna, Wright says it would have an abundance of fish to feed on and no natural predators.
