Observers on a boat using acoustic equipment reported four unidentified “gloops” but then realised their recording device wasn’t plugged in.

    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.
