Kind of nice to hear a news story that isn’t political
biden is not my president
Absolutely right 👍💯
I say this all the time
Absolutely right. I'm so tired of it.
This just in, FBI raided Mar-a-lago in search of top secret Loch Ness files
The only problem I have with this is very simple: in order for a species to have lived all this time it has to constantly reproduce itself .Therefore , there has to be more than one. I can't believe that with dozens (at least)of these things in the loch they are rarely seen. Also what do they feed on?
They are rarely seen yes but there are creatures at the bottom of the ocean and even in the middle areas that no humans have ever seen. We know more about space than our own oceans and it's believed they're are multiple species down there yet to be discovered. Just because they never been seen doesn't mean they aren't out there. She could be a deep ocean creature capable of surviving in surface waters for a period of time but always returning to the bottom or middle. If you seen the deep creatures that have been discovered they look alot like dinosaurs and other extinct species. For years the giant squid was a myth but now it's not and at some point in time I'm sure it was hard to picture it as anything but a myth
@@Wendy-dk1wu You have a point Wendy. I don't understand why we don't use a deep sea diving equipment-- everything is always surface stuff. we've gone to the depth of the ocean why not the depth of the loch. I believe they have and...nothing.
In the Loch Ness episode of River Monsters it's shown that there's a possibility that it could swim from the Loch down the River Ness and into the North Atlantic when the river is deep enough if Grey Seals and Sturgeon can do it then there's a admittedly small chance that the monster could too
@@JohntheLNERP2 I never saw that but if that's possible then yes it could go out to the Atlantic and hide in the Atlantic. well it's always an interesting thing always interested in finding new info.Thanks
@@eugenedegeorge5084 your welcome and you see this episode as it points to the Greenland Shark as the most plausible suspect behind the Loch Ness sightings and if look up this shark species you'll see just how plausible it is
I'm not saying Nessie is real, but we thought the same thing about wood buffalo. They were supposed to have been extinct for the last 200 years. No one had seen them at all. With all the explorers and technology, they were for sure extinct. Then we find a whole community of them a few years ago. We, as humans, don't know half of what is on this planet we live on, especially underwater.
wood Buffalo ? interezting
200 years is possible because of the very isolated area they were found. No way Nessy is alive.
Airtight logic, dude.
I am still hoping for the Dodo to show up not being extinct after all :P
@@erwaldox so sad.
The real question is why wouldn’t stuff like this exist? We haven’t even explored our deep water to even know for sure.. but I don’t see why not
Higherflight.... It's safe to say Dinosaurs went extinct "just" a little bit ago. 😏
Evolution perhaps. Animals such as Crocodiles 🐊,
Giraffes 🦒,
Elephants 🐘
Rhinos etc...
There is no “chance”. Scotland is full of fossils, because a lot of the rock formations are pretty old, undisturbed by recent large-scale geologic events. The real question is, what would Nessie eat? There is almost no life in the loch. It is phenomenally deep starting close to shore, and there’s no light to grow plants on the bottom beyond the first fifty yards or so. There is a canal link to the sea, so the occasional seal and once or twice a sturgeon gets up via the canal locks and can’t find its way back. Otters also sometimes come up or downstream into the loch. People who have never seen a family of otters in procession, or even a seal with their own eye, let alone a sturgeon, suddenly think they’re experts. There is no chance.
Loch Ness, which is nowadays more or less in a suburb, has been exhaustively explored by radar, sonar, deep-sea submersibles and drones. It is probably the most extensively scrutinised bit of water on the planet.
Not only that, scientist recently discovered what might be life under the glacial ice sheets of Antarctica.
@@eh1702 I don't really believe the monster is real but what if it just left and never came back?
I’ve had a theory since I was a child about Nessie. I believe that they take a route into Loch Ness to have their babies, but then take their babies back out to the ocean via River Ness and Caledonian Canal that connects to the sea. That’s why some months there are a lot more sightings than others, because once mating season is over they go back out into the ocean.
Interesting
I think maybe Nessie is actually the leftover energy from an ancient plesiosaur. Or it’s a giant eel. Or it’s some supernatural almost godly being
Good idea
But how do multiple animals of that size manage to navigate the locks on the River Ness without ever being seen? The deepest points in the Caledonian canal aren't even 20 feet, and there are places in the River Ness where the waters are almost that shallow, to the point that the navigable areas have to be marked with buoys to prevent the river boats from running aground.
I saw one use the Neptune's staircase and pop into the new Costa takeaway while he was there.
Regardless of what you personally believe, the subject and the Nessie community is absolutely fascinating!
Agreed! Such evidence as presented here does not entirely prove the existence of a remanant dinosaur now thriving in the Loch, but it makes a much stronger and compelling argument towards it. Nothing short of capturing this thing upclose and personal on a cell phone video will finally settle the argument as to its reality. But before we get there, the search coninues. And this search is fun and fascinating.
@Nomen Clature No doubt the technology has improved greatly for detecting creature life in large bodies of water. 1) How big, how deep is Loch Ness, and could an orbiting satellite with a gps scanning system far up above be used to pick up heat signatures of animal life over that entire lake? If not- how realistic is it to use a sofisticated sonar device in one corner of the lake, when possibly a massive animal could be way over in a far corner of that lake and assume that one tiny section of the lake, minus a detected creature, proves that the entire lake is absent of such?
Just trying to follow your argument.
2) Astrophysicists gaze up into the sky constantly- it's their profession. Yet they are argue that if there are outerworldly visitors coming down to the earth, they would most defiantly see them. All the while US defense pilots have captured numerous flying objects on film within the range of these airborn pilots flying their aircraft. I have no explanation for this. Perhaps you do.
@Nomen Clature Not joking at all. You didnt answer my question about exactly HOW widespread they are using their equipment in that lake.
Nomen in honesty, I don't know if that creature exists or not. I just like looking into the on going search for it. Loch Ness is 23 miles long, 1 mile wide and 755 feet deep. Unless they are using sonar equipment covering every square inch of that lake in its entirety at the same time, isnt it possible whatever many people believe is in there could be out of range of sonar equipment somewhere else in that lg body of water? If that is not possible, explain why. And try doing so with out appearing condescending. That only ruins your argument.
"OUCH!" No, not really. Not offended at all by your tone. But I do find it fascinating that you are so threatened and rather triggered by my probing you with logical questions when it took you several replies to finally provided me with some insight info on the reach of this advanced sonar equipment, when you could have so easily provided it for me at the very beginning. I guess you like proving how smart you are, yet at the same time, betraying how fragile your nature. I suggest you work on that.
Anyways, thinks for sharing and I appreciate that you finally decided to do some research on my behalf to provide me with what I wanted to know before you replied. And that's how you do it. Only next time, provide a source for your research. A true intellect isn't afraid to reveal that they don't know everything. Just some sage advice for you to grow from in the future.
Cheers.
Oh, just one more thing,
We are done here. And should you try to continue your relentless pursuit in demanding I recognize your "superior intellect" you will give me no choice in revealing just how interested I am in wasting my time dealing with you...
Not really when it’s already all known to be fake and or a known fish species!
It's fun to wonder. Besides, it's such a beautiful place to visit.
We believe in you Nessie! 🙏
ha! Nessie.... first of all- you've really gotta believe in YOURSELF.
Nessie for president 2024
We believe in the tourism!! lol
@@Boss-zo4lw Sounds fair!
I saw Bigfoot riding on Nessie's back being chase by a UFO at the Loch/Lake. And of course I couldn't get a clear picture/video of it, because Bigfoot and Nessie and the UFO are all naturally ( Shaky & Blurry ) 😂🤣😅😆
"Bob, listen to yourself..." Lmao
🤣🤣
😂😂
The myth continues to keep the money coming to the Loch Ness tourist trap. I went to Loch Ness years ago and the tour operators know it's fake. They put drawing of Nessie on the windows of tour boats, so you can "photograph" the monster on your boat adventure.
Plesiosaurs along with other aquatic reptiles including Ichthyosaurs and Mosasaurs have to breathe air (like whales and dolphins) so with thousands drawn to Loch Ness looking for them - and there would have to be enough to provide enough breeding diversity - they would have been seen and photographed many times by now as they broke the surface to breathe. Theoretically they could have developed gills but that's wildly unlikely. Even the crocodilians never did that.
Just saying, I don't believe in Nessie because of the enclosed ecosystem. However, crocodilians are extremely hard to see in the water, even when it's eyes and nostrils are above water. Even seasoned hunters and researchers can over look the individuals. The main reason crocodilians are so well documented is because they have so many offspring at once and are quite invasive, as well as being semi-aquatic. A fully aquatic, possibly pigmied, reptile that's main evolutionary trait is camouflage.... The chances are rock-bottom low, but never 0.
@Nomen Clature Obviously you can spot them. That what I said. But think about it, there could be an undiscovered crocodilian species out there. For a (fictional) example: imagine a small species of alligator that evolved to look like baby American alligators, one that researchers never bothered to test the DNA for because they just assume if it looks and acts like a duck then it is a duck. Again, I don't believe in the Loch Ness monster. I DO know that crocodilians have existed since before the dinosaurs, and if birds and reptiles can evolve to be smaller and/or look incredibly different than their most ancient ancestors, then it's not IMPOSSIBLE that a few non-avian/non-reptilian dinosaurs survived and adapted as well. Just this year, a 140-170 year old lilly pad was tested and found to be a completely different (and new to science) species than once thought.
@@WaryJester and yet we see them all the time and have evidence that they exist. We don't have the same for the loch Ness monster and we should if it actually exists
@@UlexiteTVStoneLexite Again, that's what I said lmao. Why does everyone skip the part where I say that Crocs are well documented, but there could be different kinds of Crocs we don't know about, and that I DONT believe in Nessy. If Crocs escaped the mass extinctions, then it's not IMPOSSIBLE that there could be a species that DECENDED from those dinos to. New species are discovered everyday, and previously-thought-extinct animals have been documented retuning to to being endangered, and making a comeback.
@@WaryJester then maybe you should rephrase your statement because your statement is very confusing with the "however". When you stick the however in there it sounds like you are arguing against that.
I tend to believe anything is possible when it comes to the ocean depths and outer space.
The lake was formed after the ice age🤦
correct, and the so called experts always gets it wrong.
A couple of years back myself and one of my best mates were canoeing on Loch Morar,it was a clear summers day the water was like a mirror,no wind,no other people ,no boats ,no waves.We had set down on a small beach on one of the islands at the west end of the loch making tea.
After a couple of minutes there was a huge disturbance in the water about a 150 feet from us just out of sight due to the dense foliage,it created waves nearly 8 inches high and we heard the soundd of something very large thrashing about in the water.We ran as quickly as we could through the bushes and trees but it took us a few minutes as there was no way through and by the time we reached the point that we believed the disturbance started the waves were dissipating.My mate is a boat owner and a highly experienced canoeist ,We have canoed on many lochs for weeks at a time and he is a very blunt guy,he said he had never heard anything like it on a clear windless day with no other boat traffic and said it had to have been something huge to cause the disturbance we saw and heard,
We agreed to agree that whilst we never saw “Morag” we heard her.
To this day we have no idea what could have caused such a large still water disturbance,it only lasted about 15 seconds.
We had been swimming shortly before this happened,we didn’t swim again on that trip.
I was in Scotland in 1974. While on a Tour Boat myself and 35 other people saw it for about 6 seconds
just behind the boat - no time to take pictures. People on shore also saw it and photos were taken. All
the photos were "debunked" and everyone was ridiculed. Much like the CBS Toad at the start of this video.
saw a whale ? lol
Did it raise its head above the water?
@@DionLYA ...yes...
CBS Toad 🐸. Love it 😂👍🏻
Wonderful and fascinating piece. However, plesiosaurs were not dinosaurs. They were marine reptiles who lived contemporaneously with dinosaurs, but were not dinosaurs.
Thanks for clarifying, David.
Plesiosaurs are dinosaurs. C'mon man. If it wasn't a mammal or an insect, or a fish, it was a dinosaur
@@robinly just another marine reptile like an alligator
@@thetacoguyy it's not tho
@@robinly Dinosaurs have a respiratory system that includes a network of air sacs running throughout the bones. All dinosaurs have this. Birds have this. It's a one-way system where air moves in only one direction. They are the only groups that have this kind of way of breathing. Not like other creatures like humans where the air enters lungs which are like a dead-end pouch and then is expelled by pushing the air the opposite direction from that same sac. If plesiosaur was a dinosaur there would be evidence of a multi-sac respiratory system in the bones.
Sometimes it's just nice to want to believe! 🤗
Said every religious zealot ever.
Yes, but people don't believe unless there is reason,evidence and countless testimonies!
@@LittleRayOfSnshine69sooo, what do you believe in? and don't say "nothing" because that is a belief in and of itself!... 😏🤔
The British naturalist Sir Peter Scott mounted a monster expedition to Loch Ness in 1975, complete with underwater cameras suspended from a boat. Blurry photographs were released to the press of rhombus-shaped fins of some kind of large underwater beastie. He imagined the underwater creature to be something like the marine plesiosaur from the early Jurassic fossil record some 190 million years back. He even provisionally named it Nessiteras rhombopteryx (Ancient Greek for "monster of Ness with diamond-shaped fin").
It turned out this was an anagram for 'Monster hoax by Sir Peter S'!
He co-founded the original LNIB but I'm sure it was Robert Rines who placed the cameras under the surface. If I'm mistaken then I apologise.
i remember that, i was always wondering if the photos were touch up ? if not, something big and mysterious is in the lake or was.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ No thank you.
@@jodyguilbeaux8225 nice

Flipper pics were in 1972. The Pics in 1975 were dubbed the Gargoyle Head (which Turned out to be a Tree Stump) and the Body Neck which was probably also Debris on the Bottom. The Anagram was pure coincidence, and Peter scott came up with one Himself , which included the Words," Yes both pics are Monsters". The flipper pics were heavily retouched by a Magazine Editor, and originally just Looked Like the silt being disturbed by the Camera Rolling about .on the Bottom
I don't know whether Nessie is real or not (probably not) but it's a great story and Loch Ness itself is wonderful with or without her.
Where are it's parents? If they're Maine reptiles, don't they need to breath on the surface? Just like big foot, where are it's parents?
sadly it is in the same file cabinet as , bigfoot, mothman, flying saucers and noahs ark, just to name a few. a whole lot of questions and NO ANSWERS even after 80 years of looking.
They have found some remains of Noahs Ark, get your facts straight ^
@@erwaldox Noah’s ark is fake.
Honestly, it's probably for the best that people think that Nessie is a myth, if she is real, then humans will probably stop at nothing to study her and contain her, rather than leave her alone.
My brother and myself were fortunate to get a very good sighting many years ago on a family holiday. We were standing on elevated ground around Urquhart Castle looking down over the Loch. Something suddenly caught our eye swimming just beneath the surface approaching quickly from the right of the Castle. All I can say is it was what many have said over the years. We saw the distinct outline of a very large animal, small indistinct head attached to a long neck which was attached to a very large body, 4 flipper-like appendices and a short stumpy tail. The image has stayed with us years later, the sighting didn't last long as it moved from right to left very quickly, and it was our assertion that it was probably chasing fish near the surface
Is it possible you think, that these things are inter-dimensional? meaning, when the conditions are right, they or it can slip in and out of another reality, to ours for a short while, then slip back over.
Because in other lakes, here in the US, even on the west coast, people report the same thing. And reports go back long time, like the loch ness.
Because obviously something is going on and still avoiding detection somehow from high tech sonar, But yet still produces eye witnesses such as yourself.
@@deeznutz3958 nice idea, but it is even weirder, these are shape shifting aliens (which actually live in other dimensions), and it explains why no remains of the creatures are found, same with Big Foot...
The Loch is nearly 800ft deep in some parts & more than 20 miles long bordering Scotland & the UK. It's possible that there could be many undiscovered species within its depths, both small & large.
The water environment is known to be very 'peaty' in nature, hence visibility is extremely limited.
On the matter of food, a Lake that large must have some kind of sustainable ecosystem for aquatic life to flourish.
Given the size & majesty of the great Blue Whale, which ironically lives on the 'smallest' organisms such as Krill & Plankton and very rare to be seen, who's to say that an unknown species cannot thrive in Loch Ness in a similar fashion.
There's also the possibility that IF such a species has ancestry from the so-called Dinosaur era, it could be something entirely new or a variant which adapted & survived.
Remember the Coelacanth & Friled Shark for example?
problem is there is zero evidence, this was started off as a hoax, and even after the person who started the hoax showed it was a hoax people still believe it. the ocean is so much larger than the loch and we have found blue whales and whale bones at the bottom of the ocean, nothing at all has been found in the loch to support that there is anything large living there. they have used ocean sonar in the loch people have been going there just to try to spot something for years and nothing at all has been found. besides if there was only one of this creature it would be dead by now. there is zero chance it could have been a dinosaur and survived this long in the loch. scientifically impossible. "Coelacanth & Friled Shark" are bad examples. the simple reason is we were not looking for them and we found them in the massive ocean, yet with loch, people have been actively searching and found nothing. the loch is so many times smaller than the oceans of the world and people have used every scientific method they and peace of equipment possible to search for it, but nothing has been found. sorry but all those who think "nessy" is real are out of luck logic and facts do not support it
Consider this one simple fact. The loch has been extensively scanned with sonar that gets progressively better, year after year, and yet there has never been anything even remotely close to the size of this creature ever found there. The Coelacanth and Frilled Sharks live in the oceans, which are slightly larger than the loch and a little more difficult to scan, although the US has mapped the terrain of them all.

I saw that movie. The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. Unless, of course, you mean actual megafauna, etc. that really existed.
Bob is smoking so much great weed from South Park, Colorado 😂😂
I was in Scotland on vacation and decided to visit the Loch to see if I could see anything during my trip. Surprisingly I ended up seeing something off on the distance, but the distance made it hard to gauge the size of the thing off in the distance. I paid a ferryman to take me out onto the water where we waited for hours in the general area of where I originally saw the thing and after awhile we caught sigh of something under the surface of the water. It was pretty big. Bigger than any fish I'd ever seen. I decided, in the name of science, to jump in with my camera and managed to snap a few shots off before resurfacing. When I took the film back to the processing store I was shocked when I started looking through the photos. To my surprise, and to the surprise of the world, there were three Starbucks and six Walmart and a small group of merman and merwomen who all looked like Jason Momoa. They must have been inbreeding for years. Scouts honor.
Jesus, dude. You gotta be careful. The Mer-mo'ans are extremely territorial

When I was in college, I was in a public speaking class and I got the side of the debate that the Loch Ness Monster exists. It was the most fun I ever had doing a speech.
I like this kind of banter with fun news. Thanks!
Can a species exist for 60+ million years without evolving into something completely different?
Yes. Sharks have, many insects have (like roaches). Turtles have. Evolution doesn't necessarily result in something "completely" different. They still might have evolved slightly but not dramatically.
Horseshoe crabs today are essentially unchanged - from eons BEFORE dinosaurs even evolved.
The coelacanth is a "living fossil" that was thought to be extinct for 66 million years until one was caught in 1938.
@@ashleyc.6189 The coelacanth was long considered a "living fossil" because scientists thought it was the sole remaining member of a taxon otherwise known only from fossils, with no close relations alive, and that it evolved into roughly its current form approximately 400 million years ago. However, several more recent studies have shown that coelacanth body shapes are much more diverse than previously thought.
And nothing to breed with?
There is a video where scientists DNA the water in that area and found evidence of a high amount of eels in that area. It could be a large eel.
yup I saw this
Maybe the reason it hasn’t been truly found is because everyone is looking for a “gaint dinosaur”. A creature of that magnitude wouldn’t be able to survive in that environment but a smaller creature around an alligators size could.
Boa constrictors are literally just tiny Titanaboa’s and they lived and considering how mammals were one of the top creatures during the ice age it’s not to crazy to believe a smaller version could exist tucked away in a lake of that size.
Yes but what is described as Nessie is not some small thing is it?
@@craigjomaia That problem is simple: artist depiction
Historical example: Gaint squid
When the gaint squid was discovered by some randoms they described it as “bigger than our boat” and that it could’ve devoured them instantly.
This lead to a bunch of illustrations of titanic sized squids roaming about the ocean ready to devour any unfortunate sailors that dared to get in there way. When it was eventually discovered and documented it was rare and only lived in Arctic waters, it was indeed large but wasn’t nearly the titanic behemoth that it was described to be.
Very well said
The Loch Ness monster is really a long neck seal very rare
An undiscovered seal is more plausible than an extinct reptile.
I think that most scientists had already agreed on the theory that the LN "Monster" is actually a giant eel,which likely do exist and grow up to 30' or more.
Even that would be really cool.
Except we've never seen an eel that big. The biggest eel on record, while massive, falls far short of that.

Tourists go to Loch Ness in the hope of seeing the famous monster. They sit in a bar on the shore, talk and wait. At one point, one of them asked the barman:
- When does the monster usually appear?
- Most often after the fifth large whiskey.
There are approximately three to four species of these amphibious creatures that are in the waters of Loch Ness and The Thames- a typology of the pliosauroidea (non-threatening): Loch Ness has a mastodonsaurus; an elasmosaurus: and possibly an aigialosaurus. (Other UA-cam videos ascertained it’s existence) recently as of ( Dec 2022). Sounds far fetched but these are the closest descriptions of what these appear to be in their physical makeup and comparison with the former ones eons ago.
It's a tourist trap
Napoleon Dynamite believes and that’s good enough for me. A toast and salute to Nessie and all our other aquatic allies.
Let's Go !!!!!🤣😂
" last week Japanese scientist placed explosive detonators at the bottom of lake Loch Ness to blow Nessi out of the water." - Napoleon Dynamite
This has to be the most peaceful monster that never existed
I saw the monster once, It stood above us looking down with these big red eyes, it was scary, ...and I yelled, I said, "What do you want from us monster?" And the monster bent down, and said, "I need about tree-fitty."
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 oh man I needed that laugh. Like I was all in until you said the last part. I literally LOLd
In my opinion, anything is possible. Especially when it comes to the ocean's depth. there are so many species we have not discovered yet. Maybe Nessie only comes into the lake for months and otherwise lives in the sea. That's why you see it so rarely.
Maybe it's not a dinosaur living in the lake, but another animal that hasn't been discovered. there are always pictures that show that there is something living in the lake.
A lot of pictures have come out to be absolute BS. If there is anything there, than it's probably a subspecies of eel that gets bigger than most. When they did DNA testing of the loch, eel DNA was the most prevalent.
Years ago there was a Japanese fishing boat that pulled up a giant rotting carcass of something that appears to look like this type of dinosaur. They said the smell was so foul they had to toss it back in the water
Let's remember, sharks have been here before the dinosaurs ever did about 190 million years before and survived what ever killed the dinosaurs. We know more about space than our own ocean. The creatures at the bottom that currently exist won't be seen for hundreds if not thousands of years until technology evolves more. With those facts alone it's very possible she exist. There is a tunnel/cave under the lake and it's believed she travels in and out of it.
Flew in from Neverland?
@@anastasiabeaverhausen8220 she's absolutely correct there is indeed tunnels in Loch Ness.
👍From someone actually from Scotland🏴
The original sighting of the "Loch Ness Monster" was by a couple literally driving home at night from seeing the original King Kong movie which featured long-necked dinosaurs. From there journalists looking to make money spun the story out of control and hyped up multiple hoaxes.
@@HelloThere-xx1ct the original sighting?
What about the biblical account of St Columbas encounter with a sea serpent in Loch Ness that attacked a man🤷♂️
@@kryoboy2.074 First off, that account is not in the bible. It's a story from 564 AD told to justify the canonization of St Columbas after his death. Nearly all accounts of saints from this time period have them fighting mythical monsters. The monster in Loch Ness is not even the only monster St Columbas is said to have encountered.
If you want an even more "well attested to" mythical creature, look up Monopods. These one-legged humanoid creatures have a 1000-year history of being claimed as real and even Marco Polo was still claiming they were real when recounting his journeys. Suffice to say, humans are dumb. Life is already extremely cool and complex, no need to entertain mythical creatures without hard evidence.
I wonder if all these sightings of mysterious creatures like this and Big Foot are inner Earth dwellers that come to the surface every now and then. The same goes for crop circles, a message coming from inner Earth to not just humans but to the cosmos.
Portals.
Crop circles have been debunked many many time.
@@edmundblackaddercoc8522 I beg to differ. None of the crop circles that I have made have ever been debunked.
Can I please have some of whatever drugs you're on?
Dont forget "Champ" on lake Champlain, dozens of people saw it while out on a tour boat. They were around, whether a sustainable population could still exist, who knows.
If they died off, the bodies would float and be discovered by human if in either the lock or the lake.
I’m a singaporean and I’m so joyed and Very suspended to know about Nessie every time . I hope i can do some tour someday
So the thing that makes me doubt lochness is that in order to be hundreds of years old either this animal would have to have an extremely long lifespan or there would have to be multiple reproducing and dying. No bodies have been found, and if there were multiple that come up for air then how come the only photos are breif flashes. I don't think all these people are lying or crazy. There is an explanation. I just dont think its an undiscovered animal.
Yea basically people believe this for fun but you’re completely right
Tortoises live hundreds of years.
Long lifespan does live out there for certain thighs that live in the ocean. Yeah this one I dunno
Better tell the local wizards and Napoleon!
But her outfit fireee though. Plz tell us where you git the blue heels from. Lol.
Definitely one of my favorites stories
The train to the Loch is worth the trip alone
It’s beautiful up there
They keep calling it a dinosaur but it’s really, really important to understand that a plesiosaur is a different kind of reptile, the kind that needs shallow warm water to survive. Ironically dinosaurs could handle the cold better. Also this argument is the same as saying “we found evidence of mammoths in grasslands, therefore mammoths could have survived extinction because there are still grasslands.”
Excellent points!
I'm decended from the Urquharts who had the land the monster was legend to keep out pickers. Now it's big business, makes big money. Suckers are born every minute.
Exactly.
That last picture looked pretty damn legit if you ask me
I explain it all with portals, that allows them to come and go through out time. I also have a bridge in London for sale.
Sometimes weird things fall out of the sky , so a portal might be as real an explanation as anything else .
I cringe every time they call a plesiosaur a dinosaur. Its a marine reptile!
ok
It's just a general term , just grouping everything that's millions of years old together in a simplified manner . You know the difference , I know the difference ,but not everybody knows or cares .
It's entirely possible an air breather could hide in a large lake. There are plenty of air breathers that also have gills. Crocodiles are extremely difficult to see, and are air breathers. They feed on land animals, so would not likely develop gills AGAIN since they evolved lungs already, although they certainly did have gills before lungs, like all other air breathers. So that DNA is there in the genome. And pleseo feed exclusively on fish and crill in waters, not land, so gills could reemerge.
There also are plenty of sightings. It's not arguing a creature nobody has reported is there. Plenty of reports in similar lakes around the World. Species can live 700 years or more if their metabolic rate is slow (Greenland shark), and also live in the deep cold waters.
The lake forming 10,000 years ago is a silly argument. The lake has salmon, doesn't it? Where did they come from then? Species don't stay put. Try finding a lake without fish, frogs, and reptiles. Unless it's polluted by humans, lakes populate with abundant life.
Does this mean there is a Loch Ness monster? No. But it's certainly possible there WAS and could still be a few left. Possibly even a breeding population, although that seems less likely.
😁
*sigh* your logic is flawed in so many ways, look for my comment above yours I'm not going to go through everything you got wrong. would take far to long
I love the idea of Nessie
I have seen a monster well three of us have in lake Havasu nevada Head sticking out of the water Long neck, and than went right back in the water when the boat stopped
Absolutely not possible. There would need to be enough of them to keep a healthy breeding population. Them being that big, there would be much more evidence
Looks like a scary big eel to me...
absolutely love that they’re playing beach fossils I literally thought my Spotify started playing while I was watching the vid LMAO
Being in fresh is not surprising at all since they were here before the flood in marshs and rivers and lakes before there were oceans only about six thousand years ago , not millions.
Once again, this means nothing.
We have one here called Champ in NY Lake Champlain. 😉
Ogopogo, Chessie, everybody wants one...good for local tourism.
As someone that froze my nargs off in that lake while scuba diving numerous times, I'd say the only monster in Lochness is the one that's been cooked up to bring in tourism.
So.... you have no more nargs?
My teacher at School..Classical studies saw something in Lochness and what ever I was had young with it. A few people saw them at the same time.
Or... and here's my theory... too much Whisky.
That'll scotch'll addle ya.
The Geological timeline could be wrong?
YES! Dinosaurs and man roamed earth together when it was first created 6,000 years ago but god killed them all off during the great flood except the plesiosaur because it could swim. When the water receded, Nessie became trapped in Loch Ness and has been living off the corpses of drowned Scots ever since.
Learned people used to think that the earth was flat too...BUT "possible" that it could be round.
Am I the only one who noticed the "Beach Fossils" song playing at the beginning lol
Side note : Do Scottish people get tired or annoyed of hearing bagpipe music every time someone talks about their nation? Like as if that's the only cultural thing Scotland has contributed to society.
You kidding?! They get MAD if they DON’T hear them pipes!!
It is out there
Id be more inclined to believe in the Lock Ness monster if we were talking about a creature like this in the ocean but not when we're talking about something the size of Lock Ness
"So you're telling me there's a chance."
MIT scientist doesn't mean that he is not a nut.
The Loch Ness monster as a reptile is not plausible but that doesn't mean there is not a Loch Ness monster.
An over grown freshwater eel is a far more likely scenario. I'm also convinced that some of the photos are faked. It is so easy to fake a black & white photo then reshoot it with a low res film.
@@nunyabiznez6381 It is harder to fake a video than a still photograph and there are some pretty good videos of the Loch Ness monster (and other lake monsters) including one back in the 1960s that British military intelligence examined and came to the conclusion that it was an animate object in Loch Ness.
@@conceptualclarity There is no video of a Loch Ness monster from the 1960's. Video cameras were not sufficiently portable to have been taken to that location. The only moving picture images purported to be a Loch Ness monster from that period are grainy black and white 8mm amateur movies. I have seen all of the ones that are known to exist predating 1970 and none are of sufficient quality to make any kind of guess as to what they are. The only one that has sufficient reference points to even guess scale shows an object sticking out of the water roughly 12 feet and roughly 8" to 12" thick and looked to me like a floating tree branch. I have not viewed all the ones claimed that were made after 1970 so I cannot make any comment on those except for one I saw that supposedly was made in 1978 and it too looked to me like a floating tree branch. I wrote a paper on the Loch Ness Monster in college. I don't recall all my research at the time but my conclusion is that there is a greater chance that you will kiss a real unicorn and marry a real mermaid than that you will ever see a real Loch Ness monster. There is far more evidence for both than of a Loch Ness monster.
That's just me I was swimming upside-down....boing! Lol
God Dammit Loch Ness Monster, I ain't gonna give you no tree fiddy!
I am so sorry to scare everyone I was doing the backstroke sometimes my head goes underwater sorry everyone you know it’s both a blessing and a curse
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
The pygmy brontosaurus is still alive in the Congo. Look it up, it's real.
The locals are full of s___!!!!!
For the Loch Ness Monster to be real, one of two things must be true. 1) There must be a relatively large number of them to keep breeding, or 2) There must be one of them that is 70 million years old. Neither of these hypotheses is likely.
it's certainly possible but given that there have been sonar, lidar, radar, et al scans, and all that has been detected are the schools of fish, there doesn't seem to be any chance something as reportedly big as nessie lives in there
Told ya! Was dropped off by UFOs since the earth is flat.
Long live Nessie.
How often does the lake freeze over?
Is it just me, or does the Still Image for this video look kinda like a bent section of pipe or pole exposed by falling water levels?
The world's oldest book, genesis, clearly states that God created humans and animals less than 7,000 years ago, so this video is not telling you the truth.
It does live.. in the minds of those who believe it
You just described every religion on the planet.
We will believe what our minds want us to believe
My husband and I seen a bioluminescent pterodactyl flying over a field in Louisiana March 13,2021.
Wow really?
I wouldn't trust a physicist/engineer to tell me that there are descendants of aquatic reptiles from the Cretaceous period still living in the loch anymore than I would trust a paleontologist to tell me what the upper safety limits of a bridge's load-bearing capacity were...
@@rjmaxx1258 Yes, there have been many such examples in the history of science, but there are SO many issues with the notion that there's a 65 million year old species of Cretaceous reptile in Loch Ness, that claims to that effect are laughable and display astounding levels of ignorance about paleontology. If you're going to bring up coelacanths, let me cut you off right now by pointing out that the fossilized species (plural) of coelacanths were very different from the modern species (two species) found off the Comoros islands on the east coast of Africa and off Sulawesi Indonesia.
The modern species are MUCH larger than all known fossilized specimens, and there are some distinct genetic indications that those two living species diverged from a common ancestor around 200k years ago.
So even if there could somehow be a long-necked turtle-shaped species of significant size in the loch - or up and down the loch in the River Ness, the question is how does the species survive, since there isn't a sufficient year-round supply of prey species (plural) to support such a population.
Once again this is based on the notion that a "dinosaur" aka 65+ million years old reptilian plesiosaur species somehow took shelter in the loch some 10,000 years ago when the last vestiges of the most recent major ice age ended.
While I'm on the subject, there's also the issue with any large aquatic animals trying to navigate the River Ness, which becomes quite shallow at various points. How could multiple animals of significant size manage to navigate the locks on the Caledonian Canal, and the River Ness itself, without ever being seen? They would have to travel that route at least twice a year if they are going into and leaving the loch on a seasonal basis. The deepest points in the Caledonian canal aren't even 20 feet, and there are places in the River Ness where the waters are almost that shallow, to the point that the navigable areas have to be marked with buoys to prevent the river boats from running aground.
There is nothing in the lake, it's just technology getting better.
There is a fish that was thought to be extinct 65 MYA but was caught in 1938 called the coelacanth, So it is possible!
What a beautiful place. Probably won’t get there this time around but that’s okay.😅
I always knew it was real!!!!
Biggest hoax ever... still fooling ya...
Bigger than UFO's and Bigfoot? 🤔
Nope. That be god.
Look at the coelacanth, they thought that was extinct for millions of years only to find its a living fossil.
That lake was frozen 10 thousands years ago, none chance for any plesiosaurus
