8. That is the Surgeon's photo.

A known hoax. A small children's toy sub with a fake profile.

But even if the origin of the photo was unknown, the science says that there is no plesiosaur in Loch Ness.

1. Loch Ness did not exist when plesiosaurs existed.

2. A sustainable population of plesiosaurs would require a much larger environment than Loch Ness could reasonably provide. Biology 101, people! BTW, a sustainable population would likely be in the thousands.

3. If there was a sustainable population of such an animal as a plesiosaur in Loch Ness, there would be far more than blurry or questionable photographs. There would be dead plesiosaurs washing up on shores. Or other definitive evidence.

Nessy is a fraud. Always has been. Always will be.
