With 'Dick-pics' being all the rage on social media, it was only a matter of time before other mammals got in on the act.
'Boffins'...? Wow, that's a word I haven't seen in the media for some time!
By the way, there are no whales in Loch Ness due to the lock-system at the southern end of the loch and the shallowness
-plus a weir, at the Inverness area that leads out to the Beauly Firth.

Fans of the mythical Scottish sea serpent could have been looking at pictures of gigantic whale penises all along,
according to a new theory which says Nessie is just a long todger.
'Loch Ness Monster sightings are actually people glimpsing whale penises, experts now reckon.
Some whales have 1.8m long willies that have been seen rising from the water while mating, a study says.
Boffins reckon their giant members could have sparked theories of the mythical Scottish sea serpent, the Sun reports.
Researchers published in a paper in the Archives of Natural History claimed the Nessie 'neck' is really just a whale's
todger...'

They added that other accounts could be attributed to the male members of certain whale species.
Some of their members can be at least 1.8 metres long and are sometimes spotted rising from the water during mating.
The theory focused on the famous black and white photograph of Nessie, reportedly taken by surgeon Robert Kenneth
Wilson in the 1930s. The image is then compared with another photo taken of a similarly shaped whale penis rising
from the water.
The fake Wilson photograph and... well, a whale's 'todger'.
The bizarre theory has prompted the fact-checking website Snopes.com to investigate in a bid to clear things up.
Snopes.com stated that the famous photo of Nessie couldn't be a penis, as it was confirmed a hoax in the 1990s.
But added, as in the 2005 report, it's possible that other sea serpent and Nessie sightings throughout history may
have been misidentified whale penises.
The team at Snopes said: "The most famous photo of the Loch Ness Monster, dubbed the 'surgeon's photograph',
was a hoax that was created with a toy boat and some putty. "While the famous picture of the Loch Ness Monster
certainly wasn't a case of mistaken whale-penis identity, and while whale-penis sightings probably can't explain
every sea serpent sighting throughout history, it is plausible that some of these 'sea serpents' were attached to
the bottom of a whale."
Last month we reported the hunt for the Loch Ness monster is entering a new era, as the son of one of Scotland's
most famous 'Nessie Hunters' vows to keep his legacy alive. Much-loved skipper Dave Bell sadly died from a heart
attack at just 54 in February, but his son Mike has vowed to keep sailing the mysterious fresh water lake, near Inverness.
Dave, who was born in Wales, was well respected in the Highland community, and through his firm Loch Ness Cruise
he offered tourists from across the world the chance to try and glimpse the famed monster and enjoy Scotland's
beautiful scenery - in a boat called Nessie Hunter.
And now Mike, 26, has revealed that he is really looking forward to the challenge of following in his dad's footsteps
after coronavirus shut down their tours...'
