    Loch Ness monster is real and as soon as he/she gets their 3-fiddy then it will disappear :P

    There are either Loch Ness Monsters or one very old monster. If it was some type of air breathing creature it should be seen a lot more often due to it having to surface to breathe and the numbers required for a breeding population.

    I don't think it's a air breathing creature otherwise we did have caught him by now. It might come up for other specific reasons unknown to us till now.

    It is definatly possible that something lives in the loch, its big enough, deep enough and has enough food to support large creatures living there. The problem for me would be the large differences in individual witnesses descriptions of the creature.

    Possible but not very likely - there has never been any solid evidence produced that there is anything unusual living in that loch.

    True I would agree with that.

    A new sighting, August 2013.

    As usual with Nessie there is a questionmark? Is it a wave/large ripple on the surface, or what . . . . .

    It's a wave. Looks like from a turning boat.

    There is no way that a breeding population of an animal as big as Nessie is reputed to be could remain undiscovered in Loch Ness.

    Hasn't the entire lake been sonar combed, & nothing was found?

    Sonar contacts where found at some point but nothing substantial followed the investigation.

    I didn't think they found anything that would lead them to believe it was more than a sunken log.

    Lads, lads... You're complicating things with your facts and your science. The Daily Mail wouldn't still be talking about it if it wasn't true.

    Really depends on the sonar used.

    Actually just looked it up:
    One sweep of the loch made contact with a strong, animate echo for nearly three minutes just north of Foyers. The identity of the contact remains a mystery. Later analysis determined that the intensity of the returning echo was twice as great as that expected from a 10-foot (3 m) pilot whale. On returning to the University of Chicago, biologist Roy Mackal and colleagues subjected the sonar data to greater scrutiny and confirmed dimensions of 20 feet (6 m)

    Could be a known animal or an unknown animal. We don't know. I personally don't see enough evidence to propose a new animal but I'm open minded.
