Discovery fuels Loch Ness Monster believers 

Kind of nice to hear a news story that isn’t political

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

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?

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.

We believe in you Nessie! 🙏

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.

Regardless of what you personally believe, the subject and the Nessie community is absolutely fascinating!

It's fun to wonder. Besides, it's such a beautiful place to visit.

I tend to believe anything is possible when it comes to the ocean depths and outer space.

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.

Sometimes it's just nice to want to believe! 🤗

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.

"Bob, listen to yourself..." Lmao

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.

Wonderful and fascinating piece. However, plesiosaurs were not dinosaurs. They were marine reptiles who lived contemporaneously with dinosaurs, but were not dinosaurs.

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'!

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?

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

Antartica ice is melting new creatures will be discovered.

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.

I don't believe the Loch Ness Monster ever existed, but I also believe it will never die. My inner child is OK with that.

Imagine years from now in like 4030 announcing human and dinosaurs have been living together this whole time we just didn't know it

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.

This broadcast should have included a disclaimer that the most famous silhouette photo of Nessie is known to be a fake. An admitted fake.

Bob is smoking so much great weed from South Park, Colorado 😂😂

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 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.

Napoleon Dynamite believes and that’s good enough for me. A toast and salute to Nessie and all our other aquatic allies.

I just finished watching the Flintstones. I was unaware that man & dinosaur 🦕 lived together. 😏

Can a species exist for 60+ million years without evolving into something completely different?

The Loch Ness monster is really a long neck seal very rare

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.

It's a tourist trap

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."

I like this kind of banter with fun news. Thanks!

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.

This has to be the most peaceful monster that never existed

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.

" last week Japanese scientist placed explosive detonators at the bottom of lake Loch Ness to blow Nessi out of the water." - Napoleon Dynamite

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.

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 RU-vid 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.

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.

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

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.

Better tell the local wizards and Napoleon!

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.

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.

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.”

But her outfit fireee though. Plz tell us where you git the blue heels from. Lol.

The train to the Loch is worth the trip alone It’s beautiful up there

God Dammit Loch Ness Monster, I ain't gonna give you no tree fiddy!

I cringe every time they call a plesiosaur a dinosaur. Its a marine reptile!

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

I love the idea of Nessie

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.

Or... and here's my theory... too much Whisky.

Looks like a scary big eel to me...

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.

That last picture looked pretty damn legit if you ask me

Once again, this means nothing.

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.

Many miles away something crawls from the slime of a dark, Scottish Loch.....

"So you're telling me there's a chance."

We have one here called Champ in NY Lake Champlain. 😉

MIT scientist doesn't mean that he is not a nut.

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

We will believe what our minds want us to believe

Told ya! Was dropped off by UFOs since the earth is flat.

Long live Nessie.

Definitely one of my favorites stories

Learned people used to think that the earth was flat too...BUT "possible" that it could be round.

It is out there

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

Look at the coelacanth, they thought that was extinct for millions of years only to find its a living fossil.

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.

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.

It does live.. in the minds of those who believe it

That's just me I was swimming upside-down....boing! Lol

absolutely love that they’re playing beach fossils I literally thought my Spotify started playing while I was watching the vid LMAO

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...

The pygmy brontosaurus is still alive in the Congo. Look it up, it's real.

I do believe that nessie was the whole autumn season,womenkind for today since the eternity,hallelujah..

It's just Bigfoot holding up a soggy tree branch while hunting for clams

The Loch Ness monster as a reptile is not plausible but that doesn't mean there is not a Loch Ness monster.

The Geological timeline could be wrong?

Only being 10,000 yrs old makes it close to absolutely impossible!

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

There is nothing in the lake, it's just technology getting better.

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.

Am I the only one who noticed the "Beach Fossils" song playing at the beginning lol

Flexible but stiff hose attached to an underwater motor, hose, head, and motor covered with vinyl (faux leather), dark grey/ green/ brown color, remote control, etcetera, get the chairs and snacks, let the circus begin.

I always knew it was real!!!!

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.

That lake was frozen 10 thousands years ago, none chance for any plesiosaurus

The ice would have completely covered this lake several times during ice ages since these things lived. With the lake being completely covered, there would be no way for it to breathe…..case closed!!!!!!!

There are more convincing pictures of Bigfoot than lochness....🙃

Biggest hoax ever... still fooling ya...

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

Wow😮
