Killarney lake
Dear Jon,
I am a student of English and History and am approaching my final year of third level education at the University of Limerick. I am composing this email in accordance to your video which claims to capture an unknown creature in Muckross lake.
I have many relatives in Killarney and the surrounding villages and I have spent many summers by the lakes fishing. The video which you have uploaded, as intriguing and entertaining as it is, I feel does not paint the true picture of the animals that dwell in the lake. I have seen them myself on several occasions in a much more secluded lake. The lake of which I am referring to is Lough Bran.
From what I have seen the animal is much like what you have described, its constitution is very similar to that of a large eel approximately 18 feet long. Its back is a dark muddy colour from its head to its tail and its underbelly is milky white. It has two short stumpy appendages sprouted from the top of its head. I do not believe that the Loch Ness monster still exists nor, if it did, it is a plesiosaur-like animal. I believe this creature is some form of large eel or snail that can travel over land from lake to river to lake as it pleases.
My relatives and I all agree that this animal me be dwindling away for a reason we do not know. I feel that if a major effort is not made to try to document these animals once and for all, then soon our chance will be gone. I hope that this email will be of some use to you. I am not sure if the footage of the Muckross lake shows one of these elusive animals or if is simply birds but I do know that they do live in the lakes and that they are still there, for how long more, I do not know.
Kind regards,
J.M
Happy hunting!

In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

The two appendages on the head still sound like the ears of the master-otter, and are diagnostic of the type.
I also do not "Believe in the Loch Ness Monster" but I am afraid our correspondant would fail to grasp the importance of what I mean by that statement. Plesiosaur-shaped creatures are indeed (rarely) reported there, and similar reports occur throughout recorded history and worldwide. There is no good reason to gainsay the entire category on a matter of "belief." There is also no reason to call any such a creature "The Loch Ness Monster" even if one should happen to be in Loch Ness any more than a large eel, seal or otter in that same lake should be called by that same name. Using the name gives the false impression that there is only a single underlying cause for all the reports, and that is a most decidely untrue assumption.
I believe you.
Also, if you don't mind, would you mind being more specific w. the location of Lough Bran
