I agree with the possibility of something big living in the sea, but I wouldn't expect anything large to be living in something the relatively small size of Loch Ness.

Right, but there is a difference between a giant lake, and the sea.

Although it is not that much of a stretch to think that there may be a way underground, under the water, for Nessie to dive down and go through some type of underwater tunnel and surface into the North or Norwegian Sea.

Not out of the question.

I hear there is a documentary about the real life Nessie with actual shocking footage coming out in a few weeks. It is titled Godzilla.

One is salt water, one is fresh(I think). I can't say I know too many mammals/amphibians of that size able to exist in both environments, not saying that happens. I know of fish that live in salt, but spawn and are born in fresh, but the odds of that happening are slim and none. It is not impossible, but it is improbable.

You're right.

Trust me, I'm no marine-biologist or scientist, I'm just throwing stuff against the wall.

Me too, along with Sasquatch, etc. I know the chances of any being confirmed are nil to none but at least it adds a little mystery to our lives.

I did watch that "Survivorman" episode(s) where Les was looking for Bigfoot evidence, got me a little excited in what they found :)

There's a Bigfoot museum in Felton, CA that I've taken the kids to. It's a crazy guy in a double-wide trailer, but it's fun to go in there once to look around and have him explain the evidence and tell you about his encounters with them screaming at each other in the woods. I talked to him for 10 minutes about Bigfoot-scat one afternoon, much to the dismay of my wife, who couldn't get out of that trailer fast enough. :)

I think that is fine.

What I have a hard time believing with all of this Lochness and Bigfoot "sightings", is the fact that we have satellites and cameras pointed EVERYWHERE on Earth, and nothing has been caught on film. To think, an ape like species is lurking in the back woods of Kentucky or Virginia, is ridiculous. My first question would be, where else in North America is there an ape species(Yes I believe in evolution). But, what people describe, is something like Harry and the Hendersons size. It just doesn't make sense. As for the Lochness, yes new life is discovered, but usually somewhere in the ocean. And also, life expectancy, when was it first sighted, vs today, 100yrs ago, 200yrs ago, doesn't make sense.

Dex did you ever watch destination truth? Josh Gates found evidence of the Yeti a few years back. It was a big deal

Well, the Coelacanth was thought to be extinct in the late Cretaceous period, but they found one in 1938. Each year apporx 15,000 new species are discovered and not just in the oceans. The Olinguito, for example, is a new carnivorous mammal recently discovered in South America, which has alluded classification for all of modern history up until last year.

I am not saying it doesn't happen. The shear size difference, would be one thing. Also, I do not think Scotland is a 3rd would country like Columbia is.

Yea, saw it on an episode of "Finding Bigfoot". That guy was pretty out there but interesting.

Anything is possible. I have relatives in West Virginia who believe in what they call the Yahoo there. Bigfoot.

the bull shark can survive in fresh water.

We have our moments! Also it's a loch not a lake and is definitely freshwater. If you have no luck finding Nessie though may I suggest you take to the hills in search of the Haggis?

The babies are born in fresh water, also dolphins and crocs can go between both

I didn't say, no animal can go between both. What the one post was suggesting, was there was some underwater link between the lake and the sea. Humans can also survive in salt in fresh water, but that really means nothing.
