The lake has been scanned so many times already. Sonar is not new. Drones do not add very much to a lake search.

[@roberthewittt2633]

I think that if it was actually real we would have found it already.

[@platinum-or3y]

yep

[@redx1106]

What about Bigfoot chubacabra and ufos

[@adamrushford]

seems like this is the first time a real shot at it has occured, most other mysteries of the world have been solved, why such a negative attitude?

[@SarcasticData]

@@adamrushfordBecause Nessie based 100% off of eye-witness reports and zero evidence. You are just as likely to find a megalodon as you are a dinosaur that has somehow survived, in a lake, for millions of years without an ecosystem to support it.

[@angr3819]

@@adamrushford It isn't the first time. Far from it. Don't you think people went looking over all these centuries? Don't you think the military ha been there with high tech equipment? C'mon. Perhaps you are a child though so I won't tell you off two much.

[@Iamrightyouarewrong]

Loch Ness is probably the most explored lake on the face of the Earth.

[@adamrushford]

you don't know you lakes

Nessie is just a marketing monster to sell merchandise.

[@joninfiction]

Didn’t the guy admit to faking it?

[@larryo6874]

Yes, he admitted it was a fake picture but the media still publishes it as real picture of the Loch Ness Monster.

[@InflatableConan]

These people are just like Peg Bundy when she first thought she saw Elvis in one of Al's stained shirts.

[@nightslayer6951]

If the Loch Ness Monster were real, wouldn't someone have found it years ago

[@joetotale6354]

Explain the logic behind that?

[@nickgiannico7995]

Maybe they are a almost extinct creature so they are hard to find

[@nightslayer6951]

I feel it there and it could be a spirt so you never catch him.

With all the technology we have you figure they could find it, if it exists.

Silly humans🙃

but they have money for thermal cameras, echo sounders and hotel rooms near the lake)

[@IanS-80]

My grandfather caused more false sightings of the Loch Ness monster than probably any other individual. It was what he did when travelling through the loch in the steam powered fishing boat on which he was an engineer.

[@patrickfuchs3859]

People should leave the lake alone for ecological reasons. The idea that some sort of dinosaur lives in it is a marketing a tourism ploy to drive the local economic engine. However, the lake itself and surrounding habitat suffers from trampling and other disturbances.

[@mybabypeiyu]

Yeah

[@papagen00]

Not again. It had been proven decades ago it was actually a sea otter.

no, it was a hoax from the start.

[@lydia1570]

Seriously? Anyone who would believe that this is real is absolutely insane. It's just the fin of a whale.

Isn't he in Miami? Oh, you mean "Nessie..."; I thought you said "Messi"... 🤔🤣😉

[@smrtnz5995]

It would be harder to find a local that doesn’t imbibe a wee dram in the region.

[@ronnorris7821]

Ain't no such thing, it's just a way to get tourist to spend their cash. Besides that how does anyone understand the way they talk? I understand about every 4th or 5th words coming out of their mouths. That's why I won't watch any movies where there is a Scot speaking or mumbling as I have heard it called.

[@thedisabledwelshman9266]

you will never find something that does not exist.

[@binghamguevara6814]

“You’ll never find a Nessie on the zoo”

[@bryansanchez8448]

Not saying it doesn't exist but they did prove that this main picture of it is a hoax

[@Ak-yg8fr]

I believe it's been related to the marine reptiles since the dinosaurs.

[@pedrogabrielduarte4544]

Actually now it's now believed to be a giant eel

[@SarcasticData]

Belief is a good word to use since there's zero evidence of it.

[@robinleebraun7739]

Sure, why not. It’s not as if there are other things that they could use those resources to do like starving people or sick children.

[@gamingelke6968]

Does sonar help starving children?

[@cosmicpsyops4529]

You cannot prove something does not exist...there may be one lurking around a corner somewhere in the universe. If there is one on Earth. Is it not still just an animal? If you want a boogie monster, you won't find one.

[@rabidgoon]

it's never done anything remotely monstrous as far as we know and yet we refer to it as a monster.

[@SarcasticData]

Monstrous is attributed to size, not actions, just like Monster Drinks.

[@RodneyOrff-js3xz]

I just wish they would stop using that same photo since 1950... not saying there might not be something in our waters but using a photo from a camera from the 1950's is stupid... they dont have any better photo's after what 73 years? Remember kids if you say "it cant exist" that you can only dive down so far... people still dying just trying to see the Titanic

[@bryanmannoia8410]

the pic that was an admitted hoax, at that.

The only thing to solve this is to drain the lake!
