Loch Ness Visiting Monsters
ReplyDeleteThe “Loch Ness Monster”sightings are probably of different creatures that are out of place and only visit the lake but actually live in the Atlantic Ocean.Seals have been confirmed on occasions in the lake and known to enter freshwater.Other sightings are probably sturgeon and eels which also live in the ocean and do travel into rivers and lakes too.Deer sometimes swim too and if they don’t have the antlers,can look like a lake monster.Those are all known species that can be mistaken for unknown or thought to be extinct creatures when in a lake resembling a plesiosaur with only part of the body showing above the surface of the water.If any sightings are indeed one or more Plesiosaurs,it would definitely be a visitor species that lives in the oceans and breeds in the tropics and migrates to colder climates like sea turtles do.However,there is another thought to be extinct species from a much more recent time that is far more likely to be a loch ness visiting monster than a Plesiosaur and was a new fossil species found in Ethiopia and had similar or the same species in the Mediterranean Sea.That would be the “Bear Otter”that is estimated to have been between 7 - 10 feet long and weighed 200-400lbs and was probably the largest mustelid ever to exist.
Here are some sites about the creature which is probably the same or similar on seen in Ireland,Japan,and other lakes around the world.
