Could Jurassic Park ever really happen? How much of what you saw in Jurassic Park can be considered real? Discuss all of that and more here...

Also the bodies most likely won't wash up. The loch is so cold and salinity count isn't very high thet the body sinks before gas bubbles are formed from the decay. Also, the peat moss makes the water slightly acedic which helps delay bacteria forming on the carcass. when they do appear though water pressure will not allow it to float back to the surface.

A few years back (1994/5ish?), off the coast of Japan, a fishing trawler pulled in a large rotting carcase of something that resembled a pleisiosaur (like nessy). It was estimated to wiegh 1 ton. It looked exactly like one as well. There was a photo taken, but the dead animal was thrown back into the ocean. I'll try and find a picture and possibly an article on the net.

Turns out to be a japanese fishing ship off the coast of new zealand back in 1977. I must've seen the footage in 1995ish. Makes sense - Discovery channel and TLC...

Well nessie is not likely to exist in the loch ness as a population, if nessie exists at all, for one main reason, if it were a marine reptile like a plesiasaur, or an ancient marine mammal, it would have to come up for air every few minutes, so the sightings should be far more common. The other thing is that there just insn't enough food in the loch to support a population of medioum to large animals.

I have a speculation about the "nessie caverns". There is an air supply in them and a population thrives there and they only come up to the surface when out hunting and they need to breath. I believe that nessies spend a majority of there lives in the cavern. Of course this is unlikely but this is what I believe. Nessie may stay underwater for hours too. We know nothing about plesiosaurs if nessie is a cousin at all.

Those "nessie carverns" are unlikely to exists in the loch, for one reason, the walls of the lake are made of granite, a very hard rock that can't be dredged out by flowing water, remember the loch was carved out by ice, not water.
