The joke is on the Cryptozoologists; this isn’t Nessie, it is Champy!

This is indeed suspiciously similar to the legends of the Loch Ness monster, which never fail to mention extention and apparent air cavities. But I have bad news…at this point sightings go back more than a century. If there were only one of these things, it would probably be gone or at least not there for too much longer.

Immaculate Deception.

What’s another century or two when you’ve already outlived the rest of your species by 65 Million years?

Could be a family of them.

But I like the Doctor Who explanation of its the livestock of evil shape-shifting aliens living in Scotland.

“[It’s the] strangest thing that I have ever seen on sonar in my life,”

"We are not a sonar experts and I don’t know what it is, and I can’t tell you how big it is.“

[Anselm]

After nearly 100 years of eager investigation we know by now, from a number of lines of evidence, that with a probability as close to certainty as it gets there is nothing in Loch Ness that we wouldn’t expect in any other run-of-the-mill Scottish loch. Definitely not plesiosaurs. Let the tourist industry have some harmless fun with Nessie, but from a scientific POV the monster question is settled.

And of course, there’s an xkcd for it.

The guy who took the very first “pic” of nessie, on his deathbed, admitted this was all a hoax. This is widely known. Why then, do people still act like this is a thing?

There’s still money in it.
