    I guess that would mean then that Nessy is'nt 10 million years old..

    I love hearing that things that were thought to be extinct just have been hard to find. Take the Okapi animal big as a horse thought to be extinct found living and well, or the Coelacanth big ole armored fish thought to have been extinct for 70 million years. and local fishermen off South Africa have known and been catching them for generations.

    What if bigger stuff like some sea going dino's could have survived? People's first reaction is we would be seeing them.
    Well hello!!! there have been sightings of what is described as a Plesiosaurs. in Lock Ness since the 13th century. Sailors have long told story's of sea monsters that the drawings of them look remarkably like Dino's long before the first dino bones were ever even found. What if we are seeing them and like Bigfoot people are seeing a real honest to God animal that has managed to adapt to avoid humans and doing just fine. I remember a documentary where some guys went in to the amazon and showed native people pics of some "swamp dwelling" dwelling dinos these people have never seen them on T.V. or the net. And yet they have a name for it know it by name and see it on a regular basis while hunting. I love that possibility that there's still big stuff that just know when us little men are coming.

    Fun stuff to think about.

    The lake isn't that big. It's very young. It was also dry land for an extremely long time. So unless plesiosaurs waited on land for the lake to form for a couple million years....they're not living in lock ness.

    There is an unproven theory that Loch Ness is actually connected to the sea via under water tunnels. So that would account for that.

    it isnt that big! dude
    With a depth of 788 feet (240 metres) and a length of about 23 miles (36 km)
    The watershed of Loch Ness covers more than 700 square miles (1,800 square km) and comprises several rivers, including the Oich and the Enrick.
