Morgawr the Cornish monster, Champ of Lake Champlain, the Lukwata of Lake Victoria, and Nessie of Scotland are known for having long necks.<br /> Is it possible for a long necked Cetacean to exist, or a long necked Dolphin or Whale? The extinct Zeuglodons had an entire body that was snake like, so why not a Cetacean with a long snake like neck? <br /> Author Bernard Heuvelmans also speculates that a long necked Sirenian(Manatees) could be the identity of some of these aquatic long necked cryptids of the sea and in lakes. That's not likely because Sirenians are peaceful herbivores while these unidentified long necked aquatic cryptids are described as being carnivorous and with an aggressive streak. A long necked Cetacean makes more sense, and maybe an unknown Mammal in an order of its own or an unknown Reptile in an order of its own could be the identity of these cryptids. A long necked eel is also possible. I don't believe that a catfish could be the identity for any of these long necked cryptids.<br /> Finally, Plesiosaurs could be the identity to these long neck cryptids in both sea and in lakes. Plesiosaurs could have survived extinction. If Tuataras, Crocodiles, Turtles, and the Coelacanth still exist today, then why not the Plesiosaur? Only time will tell what they are.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16113388150949998158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-39987442168129406292015-10-30T22:33:36.323+00:002015-10-30T22:33:36.323+00:00Sure did.
