    Well, nobody knows whether the loch ness monster exists or not, except for the photo evidence which mostly has been proven fake. But yes, sea monsters did and do exist, depending on your definition of sea monsters. The loch ness monster is supposedly a plesiosaur, which is a aquatic dinosaur. Bones have been found of these around the UK so it is possible, however they were thought to have died out millions of years ago.

    You might find something called a megalodon interesting, look it up and see if this is what you mean by sea monster!

    I used to be open to the possibility of the Loch Ness Monster's existence, but I've become much more doubtful. Most of the better evidence has been proven to be hoaxes and modern sonar scans have not been able to find anything conclusive. Loch Ness is huge, but it's still a confined space so if something is or was there, it should have been detected by now.

    I visited Loch Ness in 1987. The dark water can play tricks with the eyes, small waves look like a dark hump coming out of the water, so I can understand why some people think they see an object on the water. As much as I would like to believe Nessie exists, the evidence isn't there.

    In 1977, the Japanese fishing boat Zuijo Maru caught what appeared to be a decomposing carcass of a plesiosaur off the coast of New Zealand. The stench and oozing fatty fluid was so bad the captain dumped it back into the sea so it wouldn't spoil his catch of fish. Experts examining the photos determined it was probably a basking shark. Misidentification accounts for a lot of sea monster sightings.

    i'm unsure to the quantity i will respond to this! i've got have been given faith in alien civilizations. i in basic terms will not be able to fathom that with an endless quantity of worlds available that existence hasn't have been given right here approximately on a minimum of one, being made by skill of a/our god or evolution. Bigfoot no, i come across no danger for them to mate with others and stay to tell the story that secretively for this long. Lochness monster, possibly! If there's a subterranean passage into the loch from the neighboring sea then effective, although if if the loch is remoted then an identical would prepare as bigfoot. i for my area have self assurance (by skill of a comfortable margin) that this planet replace into seeded by skill of yet yet another civilization, which will make clean the hieroglyphic representations of flying products and yet another exciting archaeological finds.

    I believe they do, there is no proof of them being nonexistent. They are just very good at hiding. I'm not sure if there has been any physical discoveries of a lochness monster, but there are various stories of encountering these creatures. Like Ogopogo for example, he is a lochness monster believed to be living in BC. And Nessie who lives in scotland. You should look them up on google, it's a very interesting subject, I hope this helps!!!!! <3

    The lochness monster does not exist, it's a hoax perpetuated by various people throughout time.

    There are some crazy things in the ocean though, sometimes tsunamis and hurricanes drag in very strange looking things from deep ocean.

    Monsters though? What really makes a monster? Some squid and whales get 'monstrously' large eh?

    I have no proof but I firmly believe in their existence. Sometimes there are just certain things that God made to prove that mankind is not in control of everything. In addition, there are certain things that SHOULD NOT be researched or discovered due to the safety of mankind. The Loch Ness Monster could very well be one of these things...

    Offically Nessie is a cryptid. We think that it might exist but we don't have the proof to indicate that it does.

    If it does exist i think it probably a distant relation or is in fact one of these things.
