(Solves lots of problems, like how would the Loch sustain a population of Nessies, why are there no young ones being sighted,etc.)Also I suppose there would be more sightings of Nessie than of the salamanders, as I can see absolutely no need for them to surface ever.... But I admit, two unknown animals in the same lake might be a bit much, but I think it isnt unheard of...Typhonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08087409371952413589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-6048275221709440192016-05-15T23:11:45.200+01:002016-05-15T23:11:45.200+01:00The Wels Catfish idea sounds pretty sound.

And the idea of there being two different cryptid species in the loch (assuming that the longneck is a cryptid, and not merely an artefact created by misidentifications of known species) is one that in my view simply doubles the improbability of this lake housing any large cryptid. But, hopefully, one day we shall know for sure...Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-43745061735557720622016-05-11T23:49:02.627+01:002016-05-11T23:49:02.627+01:00Thanks for inspiring me to seek it out!Thanks for inspiring me to seek it out!Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-50960767364138425672016-05-11T10:25:35.881+01:002016-05-11T10:25:35.881+01:00Thank you Karl, I'd never seen the full text o...Thank you Karl, I'd never seen the full text of the original Northern Chronicle article before, just watered-down and/or embellished versions. It really does sound more creditable in the original account! From my perspective the only thing problematic about Macdonald's sighting is the relatively small size, as it otherwise corroborates the theory "Nessie" is a giant, short-necked amphibian. And if the animal Macdonald saw had a longish tail, he could well have missed seeing it.Steve Plambeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651489411808346005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-63658389805619416682016-05-11T10:05:40.657+01:002016-05-11T10:05:40.657+01:00I think the only other one was the Robert Badger u...I think the only other one was the Robert Badger underwater sighting, but it lacked any details other than calling it large.Steve Plambeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651489411808346005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-78423306810942676012016-05-11T09:09:26.343+01:002016-05-11T09:09:26.343+01:00Makes me think of a giant salamander.
