I posted that picture before. I think we wrote it off as being hoaxed, somehow. like someone took a picture of a cardboard cutout and then a river and spliced the two, or something to that effect.

You seem quite determined to find photographic evidence of Nessie. There is a nessie cam, you know. I beleive i posted it on one of your prior posts.

Well, I've never seen this picture before, but...looks like a swimming elephant to me. Generally most animals within their respective classes share a (very) rough similarity in body structure, and the curve behind the "neck" looks too steep to be the spinal area of any sea animal I've ever seen. I know these lake creatures could be dramatically different from other creatures, but you would think that they would be at least slightly limited by the same factors that cause the shapes of the various other large sea-dwellers out there.
Unless of course this is the fabled creature of Hunchback Lake.

I found that picture in American Monster's Non-Extinct gallery, under the title of "Mokele Mbembe". I never thought of elephant (though if it is in Africa, that's a possiblity), I thought, "That is way too convenient."

Could be if someone toyed with it.
Try to dig up my post on this picture, see what we found out about it. Don't remember what I named it, though...

Those are
some swimming elephants. How it looked would depend on the depth of the water, size of the elephant, type of the elephant (Looks like an Indian to me, but that wouldn't make sense if it's from Africa, if indeed it is), the way the elephant happened to be holding it's head at the time, etc. There's a lot of variables with wildlife.

With the first photo, CryptoRay, There is almost nothing to compare the size of the monster to, except the background, which doesn't help much

This means it could be just a small cardboard cut- out, maybe 5 or 6 inches to a foot

Oh yeah, and to help with the elephant theory, if you look at the enhanced photo, right near where the "neck" starts, there is a dark spot, which could be the elephant's eye.

again this is a hoax(i'm not a skeptic) the second pic the swimming elephants(the top one) is interesting cuz i seen no elephant go that deep before but elephants can swim in ponds and rivers if the depth of the water is not that big.

This picture's are really telling! the first set looks so fake, But the elephants do show who easy it is to mistake something for another animal.

Its an elephant.. in some of the pictures you can even see little white/grey spots where the eyes would be.

So, Nessie is also an elephant! Man, how the hell did that one keep out of sight for so long?! Must be an amphibious elephant... God, I'm leaving tomorrow to get Nessie and now he turns out to be an elephant... I could have gone to Kenya instead!
Man I hate it when that happens...

Still think its a swimming elephant?

Yes it is a hoax...
NO it is NOT an elephant.
Observe...
This is a brontosaurus model kit. Notice the shape of the head, the curvature of the back and the patterns of shading around it's legs...
Next the same picture, converted to BW with lower contrast and a motion blur.
Look familiar?
Thank you, thank you... no need for applause *takes bow*

anyone who knows anything about the lake "monsters" around the world would know that mbembe isnt nessie.

a few nessie photos can be elephants yes. but definitely not all of them (excluding the other fakes)

There is no way an animal as heavy as Mokele Mbembe (a sauropod) would have that much of its body out of the water.

True. Nessie and the like are supposedly plesiosaur type animals. MM is supposedly a sauropod, i.e. not a lake monster.
