Loch Ness researchers deep down find toad, not Nessie

From the BBC:

US researchers carrying out a sonar survey of Loch Ness have been amazed to find a common toad crawling in the mud 324ft (98m) down.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has been attempting to unravel the mysteries of the loch.

However, MIT said it did not expect to come across the amphibian so far down.
