I believe there is a Loch Ness Monster. I think it has been preserved in the clean waters for millions of years, there are two adults, every so often more are born, there are passage ways to other Lochs, and it is a dinosaur. Sound good?

What about the other lake monsters ?

It is hard to believe that they manage to conceal !

I believe in Krakens but I have no idea about nessies

Well maybe they are the same type of animals/dinosaurs......well creatures. What i am saying is maybe, just maybe the Lochs in Ireland are somehow connected. Get what i Mean?

I most definitely believe there is a Loch Ness Monster...

:mrgreen:  :arrow: i beleive that there is a loch ness monster and i don't care if anyone visits this site and sees my post and thinks that i am a nutter well maybe i am a bit of a nutter oh yess where was i ...oh yes all because there has nevere really been any hard evidence to prove the existance of nessie well maybe there is evidence but the gourvourment might destroy the evidence to hide the truth and maybe even scientists might stretch the truth to hide the facts and say that the mighty kraken is a giant squid they might know that the kraken is real and won't tell so the evidence is proberly destroyed and noone will know there could be dragons living in lakes. and my point is never trust science.

wouldn't it be cooool if the lochs were like connected via undergrouns flows, trough tunnels and holes an stuff:D yaaa that's an interesting theory

its fun to beleive in that stuff, but in the many, many years they say he has been around there ni photos that are  real, people admit to faking um. and btw first post he wouldnt be preserved in clean water it would be in cold but even after all that it might be true, there no proof its not after all. so im jus not sure

I want to believe.......

Thanks.... By the way, "Nossie" is short for Nosferatu, just so ya know. Been my nickname since preschool......

i doubt they are real. One would have turned up by now if there in lakes,but if it was a monster that lived in the ocean,it would be very possible.

As for this Loch ness monster being a dinosaur...... I strongly suggest all of you to look for pictures of a plesiosaur... look familiar?

Also, it is very possible for something like an ocean bound dinosaur to be hidden for hundreds and thousands of years before we even get traces of it. Need I point out the Giant Squids?

Someone at wikipedia raised the following questions about lake monsters...

1. Most of the lakes allegedly inhabited by these creatures were covered with ice during the last Ice Age. If these lake monsters are air-breathers, how did they survive?

2. No bodies have ever been found. When a large aquatic creature dies, gases from decomposition often bring it to the surface. The remains of sharks, whales and giant squids are often found floating or washed up on beaches. In an area as small and confined as a lake, the body of a large lake monster would certainly be visible. Since many of these lakes are in regions that have been inhabited for centuries, the remains of lake monsters should be commonplace.

3. There is some debate as to how much food even one lake monster would require. Most of the "inhabited" lakes contain large populations of game fish, but we don't know how large a population would be needed to sustain a giant predator.

4. Any aquarium owner knows the difference between caring for freshwater creatures and saltwater creatures. If, as most believers claim, these lake monsters swam upstream from the sea, or were stranded as the sea retreated, how have they adapted so quickly to life in a freshwater environment?

I ask from a devil's advocate point of view, btw.

1) Maybe it went into a hibernation period in which it was able to come back alive when it became unfrozen. I do believe some creatures can do that. (Also, connections between the certain lakes and the sea may be established and we just dont know)

2) We do not know alot about the composition of dinosaurs and what happens in the process when they die. Maybe the body just sinks to the bottom? Evolution could have had a hand in why gases from decomposition bring bodies to the surface.

3) I have a cottage by a lake and I can tell you that there are many many many leaves and weeds that could sustain a large monster. In the case with Nessy, as Ive said before, there could be tunnels that lead inbetween the sea and lake.

4) Evolution?
