The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep - Fun Facts for Kids
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep tells the story of a rare and magical water horse that becomes the famous Lock Ness Monster. Loch Ness is the most voluminous freshwater lake in the United Kingdom, and the legend about a monstrous creature inhabiting the lake has been around for years. In fact, the photo used in the movie to begin the tale of the Water Horse is actually a real photo that, although proven to be a hoax, circulated for a time as proof of the Loch Ness Monster. You can learn more about the legendary Loch Ness Monster on The Legend of Nessie, the Ultimate and Official Loch Ness Monster site.
