You've likely already seen the new video of Nessie, the legendary
Loch Ness Monster:

According to Newt Scamander's Fantastic Beasts, Nessie is
actually "the world's largest kelpie" (a type of water-demon
indigenous to Britain and Ireland), who "appears to have developed a
positive thirst for publicity." (p. xvii) The Office of
Misinformation (within the Department for the Regulation and Control
of Magical Creatures), whose purpose is to conceal evidence of
magical beasts from Muggles, has waged a successful campaign to
convince us that all photographic evidence of Nessie is fake (p. xx)
Perhaps Nessie's latest appearance was prompted by jealousy over all
the media attention currently being lavished upon JKR, and so it is
trying once more to return itself to the Muggles' limelight.
