Whoa, awesome picture by the way, cool stuff!

I'm working on that video clip Mega.....got like 130 sites to check out: (I do believe the footage was of a dead giant squid though).

Wow, I am surprised I haven't heard of that. You have a link or something?

There was a story recently on CNN about the latest one that washed up...(look for earlier threads in this forum). The video, I believe, is from the most recent body find. Only problem is, that the plesiosaur doesn't live deep enough to avoid detection, and would consume an awful amount of fish and vegetation. Also, it wouldn't make ecological sense that only one would exist, but moreso that a small pod would have to exist. This kind of grazing would be easy to see in the setting, and there is no evidence of this to my knowledge....

What you think?

one problem.

cephalopods dont have bones. if the squid is big enough to resemble a large "loch ness" type monter it would need bones to hold up a tentacle that big out of the water to resemble a neck and head.


and giant squids live DEEP in the ocean. they are pretty much solitary creatures.


try again.

My morning paper said the fossil showed evidence of being from a saltwater environment, but the UT is biased, so I can't be sure. And yeah, it wouldn't likely wash up like that

Yeah, and how could a squid ended up in a lake?

Don't you know? Squid can crawl up on land using their tentacles and a water supply. They can crawl for hours.

hehehe, guys...

I just posted that pic for thought. Not to claim that "Nessie" was a squid.

I know Seekerof, I followed you

So, Loch ness is a sea version of Big Foot. About my age, let's just say I'm a sophmore in high school.

There is no monster in Loch Ness. If there was, it would, quite simply, be seen more often. The creature would need to come to the surface for air, perhaps as often as ever 15 minutes, as in the cold waters of Loch Ness, it would need to move to keep warm. The more the creature moved, the more it would need oxygen. However, sightings are not recorded very often.

Furthermore, considering how long people have allegedly been seeing the monster for, there would have to be a large population of monsters. Otherwise, there would have been no monster in the first place, and for the sake of argument, any monster which existed at one time would have died after a while.

If there was a large enough number of monsters in the Loch to sustain a population, there would be one or more coming up for air all the time, and sightings would be far more frequent.
