Related: About this forumThere is no real evidence for the Loch Ness Monster
all the supposed eye witness sightings can be explained with more prosaic answers.
There is also much counter evidence that no large unknown animal lives there (especially any surviving aquatic dinosaur).
Young age of the Loch. Number of animals needed for a continuing group over time, no physical evidence, etc...
So the great probability is no creature exists.
Or as believers would say it's 50/50.

The Loch Ness Monster, as it is popularly known, is the world's largest Kelpie. Its favourite shape is that of a Sea serpent. Wizard observers from the International Confederation of Wizards discovered it was a Kelpie when they observed it changing into an otter on the approach of a team of Muggle investigators, then back into a Sea Serpent. The Office of Misinformation has worked diligently, convincing the Muggles that all photographic evidence of "Nessie" is actually fake.

You know if there is any possibility, we have to accept it as likely.

(1,896 posts)The beast was created for the Billy Wilder-directed The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, starring Sir Robert Stephens and Sir Christopher Lee.
It has been seen for the first time in images captured by an underwater robot.
Loch Ness expert Adrian Shine said the shape, measurements and location pointed to the object being the prop.
