I think it's possible that the two could be of the same species.

It stands to reason that if we have found fish that date back to the era of the prehistoric period then we could also have other creatures..especially in areas of depth and distance so great as our planet's bodies of water.


I think that too many sightings have happened in too many places to really assume it's a hoax.

this seems similar to an African legend, the Mokele Mbembe. Which is also a dinosaurlike creature.

From Wikipedia. The link is given above.

According to the traditions of the Congo River basin the Mokele-mbembe is a large territorial herbivore, approximately the size of a small elephant or a large hippopotamus. It dwells in the Congo river and the surrounding swampland, and has a preference for deep water, with local folklore holding that its haunts of choice are river bends.

I'll try to put this delicately. I copied the image (both pictures), and loaded it into Photoshop. I confirmed that there is absolutely no detail in the dark patches (the supposed sea monster), in the middle. This indicates very badly damaged photos, a drastically improper exposure, or bad fakes. I tend to go with the latter. Even if the supposed creature was jet black, the fact that it would be wet and that there are highlights on the water, tells us that there should be highlights on the creature, yet their are none. It looks rather like a black and white photo of some water, after someone took a rudimentary editing program and blacked out a shape in the middle.

Does anyone else feel the photos look doctored and unconvincing?

Alot of fake pictures are to bee known and this one i would say is the same, Even tho the legend may hold true, but people after proof finally give up and make their own, i would like to say these photos are just that a hoax. great legend tho.

I think that they're both part of the same species, a species that has survived since the time of the dinosaurs. There have been way to many sightings in several places to say that they've all been hoaxes. Many the Morgawr, lochness monster, and other similar creatures out there are descendants of the Plesiosaur, and they've just evolved or adapted to survive as things changed.

I agree with Nista, I think it is entirely plausable that there could be such a creature about. There are all kinds of creatures that are still undiscovered in our oceans.

Take the giant squids for example, untill recently they too where believed to be mythical creatures.

But those creatures are hiding in our oceans which are much deeper than the lakes or rivers that some of the sightings have been in. I'm not saying that there's no possible way that the creature couldn't exist, I'm just pointing out that it would be much easier for a creature to stay un-noticed in the ocean than it would be for a creature in a lake or river...

While it's entirely possible for something to have survived these millions of years, I'd say, judging from those photos, that this particular one is a hoax. There are stories of sea monsters from around the globe, most of which are implausible, but like the coelacanth, there may be some large aquatic creatures from the mesozoic still 'lurking in the deep'.

I'd say it's the Loch Ness monster gone on holiday.

I'd say that if these are real pictures and if there was a "nessie" than it's either the same creature in a different spot or a creature just like it.

If there is such a creature, I'd venture to guess that it's a very long lived, rare dinasour that has by some miracle been able to escape notice or discovery by the world at large.

That being said, I don't find the photos convincing. This is something I would have to see with my own eyes.

I believe it is possible for such a creature to exist, even if it dates back to prehistoric times and even the time of the dinosaurs.

There is plenty of proof in nature that dinosaurs still live today, crocodiles and sharks for example.

They could just a rediscovery waiting to happen,

Nay to be one to argue, but there are plenty of places in Loch Ness that havent been able to be sonar mapped, so "Nessie" or any of the others would have plenty of places to hide and play

Endangered species in the area sure would benifit from some of the money alloted for hunting possibilities.

The illusion of the photo, many monsters pics taken are of toys or other man made monsters before the new computer graphics of today so this is why they look dopey.

it may be a plesiosaur or a large seal.nessie turn up in large brackish lakes or cold shallow seas all over the world.they found a dead one in japan.

There may well be such creatures after all we find "living fossils" all the time. However, the images are fakes. They're little more than altered "Nessy" pics.

Most of the early pics are flase pictures or fakes with computers now the pics are getting harder to classify as fakes. well untill one washes on the beach it will always be a myth.

i do believe that its possible that such an animal exists....
that said, i think the photos here are fake. i dont think anything out of the ordinary is in loch ness...there have been sonar scans all over it, and they show nothing.

while some might be amused that im skeptical, i indeed am a skeptic. i just think that almost anything is possible!

skeptism is a ggod trait especially when trying to determine a prank or hoax. yet the skeptic may say that the pic was taken after the person actually saw it. then the mystery lies in skeptisism.

many wonders have yet been discovered on mother earth. and soon maybe things will be known.

alot of the pics are hoaxes and have been proven just that. but in all actually do we believe that a creature could exist and be alive. alot of animals thought vanished have resurfaced.

and more species have been discovered latley.

I feel that the picture is a fake - the shape looks almost like someone took a picture of the area and then just cut out a shape to look like Nessie.

That being said, I do believe in creatures like this. Just because we've had no substantial proof yet, doesn't mean they don't exist. Take, for example, the pink iguana that was just discovered on the Galapagos Islands. This iguana has probably been around over 10,000 years but was never discovered until now. Who knows what else we'll find if we don't destroy our planet first.
