If the Loch Ness monster is ever caught, it will go on display in the Natural History Museum. Also a the deal made in the late 1980's bookmakers William Hill pays the museum an annual fee for the guarantee its experts will provide “positive identification” of the animal. So far the museum's made £22,000 out of this.
The same deal also covers verfication of the yeti. William Hill currently offers odds of 500/1 on the existence of the Loch Ness monster being proved within a year and 200/1 for the Yeti.
It seems like the Natural History Museum is the only organisation they reckon is objective enough to prove it exists.
