The Loch Ness Monster, sometimes called Nessie or Ness (Scottish Gaelic: Niseag), is a mysterious and unidentified animal or group of animals claimed by some to inhabit Loch Ness, a large deep freshwater loch near the city of Inverness in northern Scotland. Nessie is usually categorized as a type of lake monster. Its disputed "scientific" name, as chosen by the late Sir Peter Scott, is Nessiteras rhombopteryx. Although no evidence exists to suggest the alleged creature's sex, the nickname "Nessie" sounds feminine, so the creature is often referred to as female.
Along with Bigfoot and the Abominable Snowman, Nessie is one of the best-known mysteries of cryptozoology. Most scientists and other experts find current evidence supporting Nessie unpersuasive, and regard the occasional reports of sightings as hoaxes or misidentification of mundane creatures or natural phenomena. However, belief in the animal persists among many people around the world, with the most popular theory being that it is a plesiosaur.

I believe in the Lochness, but to call it a monster, in my opinion is not the right ending to this name. There are many mysteries in the waters and just because everyone has not seen it does not make it nonexistent. If we had all the answers and knew all the whys and wherefores, where would our challenges and quests come from or go, whichever the case may be.

i CANT vouch for the loch ness ,but I did see the ogopogo in Lake okanagan in BC,Canada.
2 other witnesses in broad daylite from a elevated vantage point.The top of knox mountain which is several hundred feet above the lake.Swimming a course.Submerging and surfacing 3 times ,finally submerging and not coming back up.
Lenghth was determined by seagulls flying close by to be about 85 feet.If that was a submarine ,it didnt have a conning tower or any other protruberances .And I dont think there are any subs in that lake.It isnt a military sensitive area

i think there is a loch ness monster, but i dont think scientists should go all out studing her, because somethings just arent meant for us to know the truth

scientifically a monster of that size could not obtain enough food in a lake. If something like that does exist it would have to be in the ocean. (There's supposed to be something similar of the west coast of Canada)

No one seems to know for sure. Is "monster" really the correct word for it in any event?
Wouldn't it be great if something so unique really does exist???

Duh! Of coarse they do! Even Napoleon Dynamite knows that they are real. People were going to blow poor Nessie out of the water if it weren't for the local wizards who cast a spell on the water.
