Hi folks,
Is there a Loch Ness Monster?
I don't think so, for several reasons:
1)How can a species like that survive for so many millions of years?
2)In the 65 million years that have elapsed since dinosaurs became extinct, there have been numerous ice ages. Just during the last ice age alone (about 10,000 years ago), the entire Lake Ness was a frozen solid block of ice. It turned into a glacier.
3)Lake Ness was a salt water lake for millions of years. It is now a fresh water lake. The Loch Ness Monster would have to convert from a salt water species into a fresh water species. This very rarely happens in nature. One exception would be skates in the Amazon River.
4)There is not enough fish in Lake Ness for the monster to eat.
5)There isn't enough oxygen in Lake Ness to support the monster.
Several years ago, a woman claimed to have shot the monster. A few days later, a dead sturgeon riddled with bullet holes washed up on the shore of Lake Ness.
Recently, there was a scientific expedition to Lake Ness. They didn't find the monster, but they found a new species of orange sponge/mushroom on the bottom of the lake.
