The main thing that bothers me is how they say that lake was dead still and calm, when even a blind person could see the ripples and small waves from the footage of back then
People are very poor at reporting things they've seen, you also have all that history of conditioning people into believing they're looking at something extraordinary.
I remember back in the 90s they put a line of boats with sonar and went from one end of the lock to the other. Along with that play head underwater cameras which took a picture that looked like the patrol fin of a water bound dinosaur.
@@anastasiabeaverhausen8220 kind of hard to airbrush a video. I believe they also had a deep water camera. And they were videotaping the screen when it went by.
That was in1987. We happened to be driving from Inverness to Fort William when they were doing it. We did that drive regularly, as my grandparents lived in Fort William and Ballachulish.
There is a logical flaw when you use a Coelacanth as a yardstick to determine whether other extinct animals can still be alive like Megalodons and Plesiosauruses. Firstly, it was rediscovered in 1938, a time when we didn't have any advanced technologies to find hidden species of animals so that is the reason why it gained so much popularity. If a Plesiosaurus that was a hundred times bigger than a Coelacanth was still alive, we would have discovered it a long time ago. Secondly, the Coelacanth has well-adapted lungs to breathe in low-oxygen environments and requires little food to survive (they have a very slow metabolism) which is why they can live in deep-cold water. Megalodon and Plesiosaurus, on the other hand, are coastal sea creatures with high metabolism that require a large amount of food to eat every day. They are massive and they cannot remain in deep water with nothing to eat for very long. Also, these creatures can not breathe in low-oxygen environments like the Coelacanth (their paleontological anatomies proved it).
I’ve loved watching D the O . It’s amazingly to see the technology. It’s one of my favorite shows. That being said, I think i rather still believe there is a Nessie. Since I was a child I have been fascinated by the idea that there could be a prehistoric creature in the loch. While in my heart I know the truth, Nessie will always be the most fascinating of all creatures.🦕
Don't forget that Tim Dinsdale did a thorough study of the Loch Ness monster back before we had all this high tech stuff. He interviewed someone (or maybe it was himself) who had actually seen the monster out of the water along the side of the lake. This is back when the road surrounding the loch was small and there was a lot less traffic.
I live in Berlin and we have in a forest in the city area a lake called Lake of Devil if we translate literally from German (originally Teufelssee). Somewhen the people believed that the devil lived inside those waters. It’s astonishing that tourists don’t to our lake in mass as those who come to Loch Ness.
Once I read a joke about the monster. A tourist stays in a hotel on the lake of Loch Ness and asks the receptionist when the monster can be usually seen. The receptionist responds: “After a fifth glass of whiskey, sir”.
This doc is basically,this is what people are mistaking for a lake monster.It’s been proven that there is not enough fish in Loch Ness to support even a small population of lake monsters.
I lived on the shore of Lake Champlain in Vermont during much of these investigations & we supposedly had our own lake monster, but although I saw many interesting things emerge from the deep cold waters, I never thought for a moment that they were anything but optical or photographic illusions. Excellent for Vermont publicity as well as tourism though
As a Kid this was so interesting to me. As a adult I don't think there is a dinosaur swimming around. There would have to be a population of them for there to be even 1
It was interesting for me to see that the Loch Ness is being compared to the lake of Baikal. I grew up in Russia but never had to stay there living far away.
With all the cell phones around I don't think nearly as many people believe in Nessy. I'm traveling there this fall because it's by Inverness, I recognize the name and there is a glass blower in fort Augustus. I don't believe in a monster. There could possibly be a marine animal that has eluded scientists , but it's unlikely.
Nessie might be able to dive very deep and stay submerged for a long time BUT she’s no fish; she’s an air breathing creature. In order to find her all that needs to be done is watch the surface for her to breathe.
I’ve been once at the lake of Como in Italy and watched then a documentary about that place. Any monsters would have been seen, told the moderator. The difference is that the world doesn’t know them as well as that of the Loch Ness. Anyway, the life was more boring without legends of this sort.
People might have seen a Greenland Shark and thought it to be a monster. This could be a possible explanation of the origin of the legend of Loch Ness monster.
What the legends fascinate the people for is the matter you can’t really prove whether it’s true or wrong. The Loch Ness monster is a clear evidence to that.
National Geographic is not losing credibility over a photo on a topic that most people recognize as a myth! People with half a brain would be able to put together this is for entertainment they are just using photos that are available because there aren’t any actual photos.
I think k there’s a deep cave in the lake I also think lochness is actually a humongous serpent. See how an anaconda snake swims, would be similar to what eyewitness see in the lake
She could have lived in the ocean years ago, after the ice age, could have moved and migrated to the Loch. We dont know. Maybe back then there was a way to get from the ocean/sea to The Loch, even tho there is not one right now.
It's been pretty much settled that there is no nessie.there isn't enough food for it in the lake, definitely not enough to support a breeding population of them . which you would need to still have them around.possible yes, probable no.
@@2l84t it's not even that....they can never say what formula they use to get BILLIONS of anything. And they won't, because there isn't one. There is NO known method for dating anything in the billions.
What makes the legends like that of Loch Ness fascinating you never find a certain evidence whether it’s true or not. Even if the evidence of science may be sure enough the mind refuses to believe because it destroys the fascination. Even getting adults we need fairy tales anymore.
