First of all the elephants are from a completely different part of the world and spend the majortiy of their time on land, second the photo you choose is a fake and the guys who created it admitted to creating it and how it was done. I have no idea what the loch ness monster is but I do believe something was out there, but lack of spotting's over the past 5 years suggest what ever it was has died or relocated. I do think what ever it was there was more than one because of the amount of time from when spotting first began until 5 years ago suggest that perhaps there was a family of whatever in the lake, perhaps with a underground tunnel allowing it to exit into the ocean, preventing us from finding a corpse or catching a better photo. I don't know but I am not arragont enough to presume I have the answer to a question that nobody has been able to prove to disprove for over 100 years.

THANK YOU Rev Two -- I now know I have seen a plesiasaur!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAW when I had a frightening experience in a smaller, nearby loch. I had always scoffed at the monster stories but this true account left me convinced that it is real and that there must be more. It's been etched in my memory ever since. Three companions and myself went swimming in this nearby but much smaller loch. It was very dark, almost black water with very little vegetation around it and was very still and quiet when suddenly, quite close to me, the body of this enormous thing(don't know how to describe it - but the body was dark and smooth like an enormous eel I would say about seven or eight feet in girth) very briefly arched out of the water without making a sound and disappeared again. Only I saw it and I yelled a warning to the others and rapidly got out in a panic. They stayed in thinking I was fooling around even though I was obviously in a state of shock. That was convincing enough for me to have no doubts whatsoever that a monster or monsters lurk in Loch Ness and other lochs. Our intrusion is what made it appear. Had I been able to snap a shot of it I am sure that would have also convinced all those doubters out there. But that's what happens - a sighting is made, no one else sees it and the disbelief is there. I am a scientific down-to-earth engineer, not one who readily accepts anything without positive evidence or proof..........

Hello. I don't really think that the Loch Ness Monster is an elephant. I am not insulting you but I do think that that picture of the elephant is funny. I do believe that there is something in Loch Ness because I saw on this show that they used an underwater camera to photograph what was a flipper. Fake or not I believe that there is something there.

No, that lake would be too deep for an elephant, i think it could've drowned being there, the Loch Ness Monster only swims in deep waters although it is claimed to be "spotted" by witnesses swimming on top water like the link you have there, but its not a swimming elephant.
Im not even sure if its real or just a myth.

i truly believe that the loch ness monster is non-believeable creature because anybody who has seen it has barely any proof and is so the proof could have been altered to fit a description of the loch ness monster but are the pictures ever clear and easy to see.the pictures on the net of the lochness monster are probaly pictures of the swimming elephant anyway.

Yeah, giant man-eating pacyderms are roaming rivers and lochs in search of human man-flesh. You can tell by their wee beedy eyes and their snouts which they put to good use as periscopes.
There is no conclusive proof that Nessie indeed exists, but that doesn't mean it isn't an interesting bit of folklore.
Ciao

I live in Vermont near Lake Champlain. In my waters is a sea-serpent named Champ. It's like a sea dragon.

No. Nessis is believed to be a plesiasaur, or a giant eel.
