What does it eat? Large creatures need large amount of food. The water is fairly cold too, meaning the creature needs to eat a lot more.
Actually, it seems cold conditions make animals more likely to grow big in order to be more energy efficient. That is why lots of deep sea creatures are larger than their counterparts that live on the warmer waters near the surface.
Jacob Gellar’s video on this is excellent… is a sentence you can say about many subjects. Anyway he highlights how the open ocean is kinda like deep space with zero visibility. Any square mile of open ocean is several cubic miles of water. Animals the size of cruise ships disappear at that scale.
Not so much in one well-searched lake.
It eats the wild haggis that stumble and fall into the Loch
It’s a massive, massive lake. It could sustain several Nessies, should any exist.
23 miles, so it’s not massive. it is deep. but there’s a fixed food supply; does the Ness river provide unobstructed access to the sea?
when I think massive I think lake superior. not something you can see across in both axis (weather, obviously depending)…
You understand that fish breed, right? That all the food that any of us will ever need for generations to come does not currently exist in the here and now?
yes, fish breed. and eat each other. and nothing in that entire ecosystem suggests it can support a gigantic predator.
No one has even quantified the entire ecosystem of Loch Ness. What makes you so cocksure of yourself?
Fish breed but Nessie fucks around for hundreds of years without a single shit washing ashore or a decent photo. In fact we live in a world of cameras, my phone has 5 of them right now, any of which would do just fine.
Bruh.
