Jaw-dropping footage captures the moment two loved-up 'Nessies' emerge from the depths of their watery abode in Scotland.
Or so claims monster hunter, Eoin O'Faodhagain, who spotted the two 'captivating' shapes while watching the famous Loch Ness via webcam.
'On close examination of the footage, there are actually two creatures breaking the surface,' he said.
'The first disturbance that rose up out of the water was of a smaller height, and also not as long as the second.
'The second was longer and higher, out of the water by at least four feet, with a distinct hump at the rear, and a smaller one at the front.
'I believe the images represent two Loch Ness monsters.'
In Eoin's footage, two mysterious shapes can be seen surfacing in the distance, one after the other, separated by a short expanse of water.
In subsequent clips, captured a few minutes later, one shape resurfaces nearby and then moves steadily south, against the flow of the water.

The existence of Scotland's legendary Loch Ness Monster has been hotly-debated for nearly a century. Affectionately referred to as Nessie, the large marine creature is said to inhabit the freshwater loch south of Inverness - and be a species as yet unknown to science
Mr O'Faodhagain, a veteran Nessie hunter, believes the footage could show a courtship display.
He said: 'It is the behaviour of both objects that make this sighting intriguing.
'What is going on? Could it be something to do with breeding – a male Nessie showing off to a female Nessie to attract her attention?
'Or is it just feeding behaviour? But if it was this, I would imagine this behaviour would be visible all the time on the surface.'
He added: 'It was captivating observing these three examples of unexplained phenomena in Loch Ness.'
The sighting was recorded using a webcam maintained by Visit Inverness Loch Ness (VILN) at Shoreland Lodges, near Fort Augustus at the loch's southern end.
It unfolded over the span of several minutes last Saturday, April 12.
Given the distance from the camera, Eoin estimates that the first creature was 10 to 12 feet long, while the second was 15 to 18 feet long.
Mr O'Faodhagain, a veteran Nessie hunter, believes the footage could show a courtship display or a 'mating dance' - an act preceding sexual intercourse
Famously, the legendary marine creature is said to inhabit the freshwater loch southwest of Inverness
'There are no known creatures in Loch Ness that come near those dimensions,' he said.
'It is unexplained what these live creatures are – you have to label them Nessies.'
Mr O'Faodhagain, 60, often logs on to watch the water from his home in County Donegal, Ireland.
Over the years, he's racked up multiple entries in the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register.
The earliest report of a monster in Loch Ness is AD 565, but 'Nessie' became a global phenomenon in 1934 upon the publication of Surgeon's Photograph, which purported to show the beast (although doubts surrounding the snap's authenticity remain).
In the near-century since, many visitors have taken blurry photographs of what they think to be the beast in the 23-mile loch.

What IS the Loch Ness Monster?
Rumours of a strange creature living in the waters of Loch Ness have abounded over the decades, yet scant evidence has been found to back up these claims.
One of the first sightings, believed to have fuelled modern Nessie fever, came in May 2, 1933.
On this date the Inverness Courier carried a story about a local couple who claim to have seen 'an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface'.
Another famous claimed sighting is a photograph taken in 1934 by Colonel Robert Kenneth Wilson.
It was later exposed as a hoax by one of the participants, Chris Spurling, who, on his deathbed, revealed that the pictures were staged.
Other sightings James Gray's picture from 2001 when he and friend Peter Levings were out fishing on the Loch, while namesake Hugh Gray's blurred photo of what appears to be a large sea creature was published in the Daily Express in 1933.
Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London physician, captured arguably the most famous image of the Loch Ness Monster. The surgeon’s photograph was published in the Daily Mail on April 21, 1934 - however it was later proven to be a fake
The first reported sighting of the monster is said to have been made in AD565 by the Irish missionary St Columba when he came across a giant beast in the River Ness.
But no one has ever come up with a satisfactory explanation for the sightings - although in 2019, 'Nessie expert' Steve Feltham, who has spent 24 years watching the Loch, said he thought it was actually a giant Wels Catfish, native to waters near the Baltic and Caspian seas in Europe.
An online register lists more than 1,000 total Nessie sightings, created by Mr Campbell, the man behind the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club and is available at www.lochnesssightings.com.
So what could explain these mysterious sightings?
Many Nessie witnesses have mentioned large, crocodile-like scutes sitting atop the spine of the creature, leading some to believe an escaped amphibian may be to blame.
Native fish sturgeons can also weigh several hundred pounds and have ridged backs, which make them look almost reptilian.
Some believe Nessie is a long-necked plesiosaur - like an elasmosaur - that survived somehow when all the other dinosaurs were wiped out.
Others say the sightings are down to Scottish pines dying and flopping into the loch, before quickly becoming water-logged and sinking.
While submerged, botanical chemicals start trapping tiny bubbles of air.
Eventually, enough of these are gathered to propel the log upward as deep pressures begin altering its shape, giving the appearance of an animal coming up for air.
