Lots of people have thought of it. They are wasting their time because it doesn't exist, but they thought of it. Let me ask you this: how would a dinosaur have survived in Loch Ness? And how come no one has found it? The lake is pretty deep, but it is not THAT big. So many scientists have spent so much time there looking with advanced technological tools, and nothing has turned up. It's just a fairy tale that has been around for over a century. If it were real, they would have figured it out a long time ago.

The Loch Ness Monster, sometimes called "Nessie" or "Ness" (Scottish Gaelic: Niseag) is a mysterious and unidentified animal or group of creatures said 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.
Along with Bigfoot and the Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster is one of the best-known mysteries of cryptozoology. Most scientists and other experts find current evidence supporting the creature's existence unpersuasive, and regard the occasional sightings as hoaxes or misidentification of known creatures or natural phenomena. Belief in the legend persists around the world, however. Local people, and later many around the world, have affectionately referred to the animal by the diminutive of Nessie (Scottish Gaelic: "Niseag").
If you ask me, i would have to say i believe anything is possible, you honestly cannot say there is not an animal from prehistoric time still out there, there is still crocs and aligators, those were animals that adapted from prehistoric times and there still alive and there are many many more...
Part of believing that this creature still exists means you need to have a fairly good explanation for what he might be. Theories abound. One theory suggests that he is a dinosaur that managed to escape extinction and lives on in Lake Champlain. Another suggests that the creatures could be surviving zeuglodons, a primitive form of whale with a long snake like body. These creatures have been thought to be long extinct, however fossils of them have been found a few miles form Lake Champlain in Charlotte, VT. Champ might also be a Lake Sturgeon. There are sturgeon in Lake Champlain and they can grow to great lengths. They are a very old, almost prehistoric fish with a scale-less body that is supported by a partially cartilaginous skeleton along with rows of scutes. Its single dorsal fin, running along its spine, would match many descriptions of the Loch ness monster, although its sharp, shark-like tail would not.
Another theory is that the Loch ness monster could be related to a plesiosaur. A plesiosaur is a prehistoric water dwelling reptile (not a dinosaur) with a long snakelike head and four large flippers. Plesiosaurs loved fish and other aquatic animals. Scientists date the plesiosaur to the Triassic period, 200 million years ago, through the Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago (when all dinosaurs are thought to have gone extinct).
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE AND I WOULDN'T DOUBT IT, THAT THERE ARE SOME PREHISTORIC ANIMALS, MAMMALS ECT STILL OUT THERE THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT!

I a lot of people think it was frozen in a block of ice and then it thawed in loch ness. but the monster hasn't been seen since 2005 the last time I checked. and in that same year someone found a huge carcass that could have been the body of the loch ness monster. Nessie probably died.
