Eldorado Posted February 20, 2021 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) An American investigator of mysterious animals and legendary creatures has focused on the Loch Ness Monster in his new book and is convinced the creature is descended from an ancient group of extinct serpentine whales. Globe-trotting cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard has written The Essential Guide To The Loch Ness Monster and Other Aquatic Cryptids, drawing on interviews with leading Nessie experts and reported encounters. It also features a foreword by Steve Feltham who has set a world record for the longest continuous vigil of looking for Nessie, having been watching the loch for the past 30 years.

Popular Post Carnoferox Posted February 20, 2021 Popular Post #2 Share Posted February 20, 2021 If Nessie is anything it certainly isn't a basilosaurid. I really don't know why this discredited hypothesis keeps coming around, but then again it is Ken Gerhard. 9 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

openozy Posted February 20, 2021 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Nessie can be related to ancient turtle, whale or whatever. Nessie will be whatever you want her to be, ideal women really, lol. 3 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted February 21, 2021 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2021 For Nessie to be a whale, there'd have to be a viable breeding population of fresh water odontocetes living and breeding in the Lock. Since they're air breathing mammals they'd be hard to miss, popping up everywhere frequently to breath. 4 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essan Posted February 21, 2021 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2021 And presumably these marine anmals walked there after the ice age? Or did the space aliens drop them off after the ice melted and the glacial hollow turned into a lake? No way could a whale or anything similar swim up the River Ness (seals could - in theory - only because they can survive out of the water) 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trelane Posted February 21, 2021 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Ah, now we're on to the prehistoric whales theory. Wonderful. It's good to just keep guessing. Thankfully the obvious issues have already been brought up. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
