I do not think there ever was. I did a bit of research on it and found a theory that it could acctually have been an african elephant. A long time ago when circuses travelled about they may have stopped and let the elephants swim in the loch. They may have been underwater with there trunk above the water. This would explain some pictures. Also some pictures show humps going up and down the water. This could have been the elephants back and a part of the head.
Also i dont think there has been a recorded land sighting for many years. This may be because people know what an elephant is now.
Whta do you think to this theory?
Thank you, bye.

Maybe it was indian doesnt really matter this is more believble than a farfetched story about a dinasour. Has it managed to survive 65mill years?

I don't like it because i believe in the "monster." I think it's a small dinosaur that has survived, or maybe there is a new breed. In the pictures, sure it looks like a trunk but at the top of the trunk it doesn't look normal. It looks like a head. And i think its actually an Indian elephant that you are trying to refer to. I don't think that elephants can swim. They walk on shallow water. The Loch Ness Monster stays in DEEP freshwater. The elephant is too huge and un-agile to swim

This is a true story. I am English and on my first visit to Scotland this was the experience that made me absolutely certain IT OR THEY exist(s).
I had not heard until recently that Nessie is a plesiasaur, or a giant eel.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAW when I had this scary experience in a vastly smaller, nearby loch. Four of us went swimming and I got a little separated them. 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 with a dark and smooth body like a really giant eel - I would say about seven feet in girth - very briefly arched right 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. They stayed in thinking I was fooling around ignoring my obvious state of shock.
It convinced me that there is a monster and probably others and very much larger than what I saw, lurking in Loch Ness and the many other lochs. But that's what happens - a sighting is made, no one else sees it and then there´s disbelief and skeptism. Perhaps they only appear to certain people only. But even though I was a skeptic, there it was right before my eyes. I have had some other very mysterious sightings of creatures and beings since I lost my skeptism.

I don't know about the elephant, but I saw a show once that disproved the famous picture of "Nessie". I am talking about the picuture where you can see the neck and back, probably the most famous picture taken of the Loch Ness Monster. Scientists compared the size of the waves and the comparable size of the monster. It would only be a true picture if the Loch had waves over 10' tall, which of course it doesn't. It would be cool if it were real, but unfortunately it's just another hoax.

Nessie is real!!! (or at least was...). Not an elephant, but a water creature from ancient times. Look up Pictish symbol stones, and you'll see a creature often depicted. Myth, ledgend, imagination or real, decide for yourself, but I believe the people I've talked to who believe they have seen it, or something in the loch that defies any other explanation.

All of the pictures that have been published have been shown to be "misinterpretations" of easily explained natural causes. I don't think any of them were elephants, some were birds on other objects, but no large mammals.
