Loch ness monster?

Question

Is it true that the sea monster or the loch ness monster is real or is it a myth OR a dinosuar??????

Answer 1

People are still debating the existence of Nessy. Here are a couple of websites about the evidence supporting the existence of Nessy and one that disagrees.

WHAT IS NESSIE?
What is the great beastie that inhabits the loch? There are numerous theories on what it is, but each one has its problems. Undoubtedly the favorite is the plesiosaur. But there are other theories that are as equally plausible as the plesiosaur theory.

The Plesiosaur
Plesiosaur is actually a broad term for marine reptiles with long necks and flippers, but no one knows what type of plesiosaur the Loch Ness monster is. The elasmosaur, the biggest and longest of the plesiosaurs, is the best candidate. There are others that also fit the description. Indeed the photographs taken by Robert H. Rines fit the plesiosaur theory, but there is always one nagging fact pulling it down. The plesiosaur was supposed to have died out almost 70 million years ago, but of course there are problems with that too. Unless killed off by man, like whales, sea dwelling creatures do very well, they have a nigh unlimited space to live in and an unending food supply. A meteorite cannot explain why the plesiosaurs died. Another problem is that it is hardly ever seen at the surface, and since plesiosaurs were air breathing animals, they have to come up for air. Sea turtles, however, don't have to come up for air very often; they can hold their breaths for hours. It's fair to assume that we know nothing about plesiosaurs other than they lived in the water and ate fish, so we don't know how often they had to come up for air. There are also motor boats constantly traipsing the loch, and because water is an excellent conductor, the sound from them would scare any prehistoric beast. Nessie has learned by now to stay away from humans.

The Eel
Another good theory is that the Loch Ness monster could be an eel. Eels fit the hump description much better than the plesiosaur, but one of its faults is that the monster often sticks its head up out of the water, a characteristic usually not attributed to an eel. Another is that no eel has been found that reaches the length of the Loch Ness monster. The largest eel, the conger eel, reaches only about 1/4 the needed size to fit Nessie's size.

The Zeuglodon
The zeuglodon, or the basilosaurus, is another likely candidate for the Loch Ness monster. It is a long, slender whale, which died out long ago, but it seems that a few may be around today. The monster of Okanagan, referred to as Ogopogo, also seems to be this creature. The zeuglodon may be too large though; they grew to over 70 feet in length, yet Nessie does not seem to exceed 50 feet. It also shares one of the problems that the eel has; it doesn't have a long neck to stick out of the water. Once again, the best theory seems to be the plesiosaur.

Whatever the Loch Ness monster may be, scientists are still unconvinced of its existence. They never admit when they are wrong and try to prove theories wrong with other theories instead of solid facts. The plesiosaur may be the most unwanted creature in history because the discovery of one may hurt their methods of dating and maybe the theory of evolution itself. A monster in Loch Ness, a very romantic idea....

Answer 3

I have mixed feeling on this subject I watched a documentary which was shown on Australian TV last week & it showed how the best knownPhotograph was faked back in the 1930's
But there had been of dozens of alleged sightings BEFORE then, the persons who faked the pic were just perpetuating the idea that SOMETHING was / is in there.
By the way the Loch is 22miles long, that is as narrow as The English Channel is at it's narrowest point.
I've driven along the road next to the Loch, once , but I didn't see anything, Even if the investigators found anything I doubt if they'd admit it , It'd ruin the tourist trade,
There's not much else going on in that part of the world.

Answer 4

No, that is in basic terms a place in Scotland called Loch Ness, the tale began while a individual sooner or later lower back many some years in the past nonetheless he observed a monster in the water which began the finished Loch Ness Monster tale. There are pictures that tutor what appears like a monster of a few what even nonetheless it’s no longer actual.

Answer 5

Hi....Very good question... Both the Loch Ness and the Lake Champlain creature seem to be possibly of the same species according to witnesses that have seen these creatures. I'm assuming that these creatures might have survived or evolution kept them evolving from the dinosaur period. It's a possibility. I have an open mind regarding issues such as this because there have been too many witnesses that have come forth about these creatures. Just like 'Big Foot' too many sightings on this creature. I admit that some individuals fabricate or exaggerate certain stories but these witnesses can't be all lying. So I have to have an open mind regarding to these creatures. Have a great day!

Answer 6

It's a myth. The famous "Surgeon's Photo" is a hoax. The person who took it admits it wasn't a monster and if you look closely the ripples make the shadow too small to be classified as a monster.

Most of the other attempts at proving it to be real has been labeled as hoaxes and scientists haven't really come up with much so far.

Well, I can't say for sure, but it's extremely likely that it's fake. I'm 99% sure.

Answer 7

always seemed to me that there would have to an adequate number of these creatures to provide a breeding population, seems then that there would be enough that it would be easy enough to prove their existence if they do indeed exist, further the gene pool would over all this time (since Loch Ness became land lockred) become inbred, my guess is that reptilian genes could withstand this for a good long time but not this long. I am highly skeptical on this point.

Answer 8

Very real. When I visited a space ship from another Galaxy, the extraterrestrials told me they were the ones, who brought those monsters to Earth (they keep them as pets on their planet, but they are running out of room there...)

Answer 9

The answer is inside of you. Go swimming in the largest body of water near you. Once by day. Once by night. Its
easy to listen to yourself then. Feel free to voice a primal
fear as bubbles. Be the man.

Answer 10

I believe there are many undiscovered species of life on our planet. Sealife, plantlife and even mammls are discovered all the time. Just because we haven't caught or killed it doesn't mean it isn't there.
As for Nessy, to many sightings over to long a period not to be real.
