Could have been hungry and looking for a snack.

THE Loch Ness Monster may have been found – but a little far from home.
Footage captured the moment what appears to be a huge sea creature in the Great Prespa Lake – a massive body of water shared by Albania, Greece and Macedonia.
The viral video shows “Nessie” poking its long neck out of the water before ducking back down.
Many viewers have been wondering whether the mythical beast has gone on holiday away from its usual home in Scotland’s Loch Ness.
And it could even be a trip it’s made before as a similar giant sea creature was spotted in the Greek section of the lake five years ago.
But some local residents remain unconvinced of the legend – preferring to believe it is actually a giant catfish.
Geography professor, Sima Jonosk, who led a tour of the lake and was the first person to swim across it back in 1970, said: "I remember when a ship sank in Albania, near Mali grad, a lot of children drowned in Prespa Lake.
"Then I found out that the divers who searched for them saw great catfish.
"They were so scared that they stopped the search. I think that it was one of those catfish that the Greek fishermen saw."
But he added: "Sometimes things happen in Prespa Lake that don't happen in other lakes.
"When I was a teacher in 1976 I saw a large pillar of water rising near the border with Greece, shaped like a mushroom. It came down only after 10 to 15 minutes."
This is certainly not the first and will undoubtedly be the last sighting of the Loch Ness Monster.
In October, some Londoners became convinced the beast was actually living in the River Thames after strange footage emerged of an unidentified black creature swimming in its murky depths.
I’m hoping it was Hillary going down for the third time.
The monster looks amazingly like Web Hubbell....
Aaarrrggghhhhhhhhh, look at the horrid sea monster!!!
I call fake. Too stiff every single time its shown.
They made some decoy and someone’s out there pushing it up and down.
Good God...Is that Prince Charles lost sister?
“Loch Ness, bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts all use the same cameramen.”
As does the Fresno Nightcrawler I just came across while looking up Nessie.

Wow! That’s the largest sock puppet I’ve ever seen.
Lol! Nice sock-puppet. Is obama missing a best friend?
Nessie Hubbell — with SCUBA diver in the background...
Grebe or cormorant.
They made it with a bigfoot’s sock!
Does it taste like Chicken?
It looked kind of real, but the going straight down without bending it neck thing kind of blew it. It’s faintly possible, though.
That’s it? LMAO.
I’ll believe it when I see clear evidence of it. Otherwise history says it’s another fake.
These days everyone has a camera in their pocket. Someone should be able to get some real evidence.
Note: this topic is from . Thanks nickcarraway.
“If the subject isn’t distant, out of focus, lacking size perspective, or the video is shakey, I call fake.”
Quite right. Things like Nessie and UFOs are not captured by today’s digital imaging. Takes old film to record them.
Might be like Hillary. She doesn’t see her reflection when looking in a mirror.
