Loch Ness Monster Finally Identified
Forensic Artist and private investigator William McDonald, finally identifies what Loch Ness Monster may be.
(PRWEB) April 7, 2005 -- After nearly 1,500 years of conjecture, it appears the Loch Ness Monster may finally be identified. According to American Forensic Artist and private investigator William McDonald, the famous lake monster known as “Nessie” is neither a plesiosaur or prehistoric reptile, but a real, predatory species of water animal possessing the ability to hunt on land.
In the winter months of 2004, McDonald photographed tracks left by a large animal on a mud-covered Loch Ness shoreline in an area south of Invermoriston, just off the A-82 highway. Movie footage may be viewed at http://loch-movie.tripod.com. Weeks later, McDonald was contacted by two American university students who had just returned from a Spring Break trip to Britain. The students provided McDonald with video tape footage of the remains of a 200-pound Highland red deer carcass, found in a boat-only accessible area known to local fishermen as a “Kill Zone.” The deer appears to have been torn in half, its pelt ravaged. (there are no bears in the Scottish Highlands). But the most shocking find was a shed animal tooth – found wedged between the deer’s exposed ribcage. The tooth is barbed, well-rooted, and measured nearly four inches in length!
According to the three eyewitnesses on the video, shortly after the find, the tooth and several video tapes were confiscated by a local water bailiff. Highland authorities were uncooperative in the students’ efforts to have their find returned. The salvaged footage and photos of the tooth have been posted at http://www.lochnesstooth.com, along with a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the return of the “Nessie” tooth.
Mr. McDonald is coordinating the students’ efforts to have the tooth returned. He can be reached at Argonaut-Grey Wolf Productions in Mesa, AZ. PHONE: 480-330-7553.

Teeth?
That's not a tooth. It's part of a large crab's leg. Silly hoax!
Now my uber-geekness comes about:
Dragons don't have to have four legs AND wings. St. George's Dragon has several images of only 2 legs and 2 wings. Chinese dragons are said to have only 4 legs and no wings.
Also, Dragons are more probable given the fact that there ARE giant lizards with nearly acidic breath (one bite and you'll lose an arm, and likely your life) These were even named Dragons.
A wyvern would be a feathered version of St. George's Dragon. Quetzalcoatl would be a feathered snake.
A two-legged dragon having wings and a barbed tail. The big point being two legs...
So, St. George's Dragon was a wyvern?
Ok.
This is very biting news.
Same thing has been asked of Robert Byrd, no one has come up with a plausible answer.

I know you were joking, of course.
But me, I'm always serious. No buffoonery! Nope.

It's Friday, and there is work that must not be done!
My God, it's evolving! Now it's able to come out of the sea and eat mammals. Surprising that it's evolved fast enough to be able to catch deer though.
Be afraid! Be very afraid.
HERE is the Loch Ness Monster!

LOL....I was gonna say the antler from a Dik Dik proves the author don't know dik about nessie !
Back in the early 60's, when we were teenagers, my brother and I went together on a bicycle trip around Loch Ness and through the surrounding area, stopping for the night usually at bed and breakfasts or small hotels.
There wasn't much there then, and perhaps isn't now, but the countryside was beautiful and a little wild, there were people who had come to the area for salmon fishing, I believe it was. There were beautiful fast moving streams and small rivers with a tea colored cast to them, from tannic acid maybe. Parts of the south side of the loch were heavily wooded, with steep enbankments like a fjord, if memory serves. The people very friendly once they figured out we weren't English. We didn't see a sign of Nessie, but had a wonderful time. Haven't been back to Scotland, but still have good memories of the place.
If you have a Celtic ping list, I'd like to be on it.

What celtic ping list? :p
Sure, welcome aboard!
Thanks. I'm part Scot, part Irish. My brother and I even own neckties in the family plaid. OTOH, we don't normally pay that much attention to it, but the heritage is still there, in the background.
Sure there is. I was in the USAF on leave and backpacked with a buddy from the Med to the Isle of Skye and back for a month. Got off at the Inverness train station. Caught the bus to Loch Ness where our bed-and breakfast was. About 2 miles from the little museum there.
The air temp was 74F, the water temp was the same and the rain was the same. We put our stuff under a big tree and undressed and climbed over those glacial rocks with a bar of soap, a rag and a shaver to clean ourselves up. That's on a ledge. One more step or two and you will go straight down hundreds of feet if you can't swim.
Hehe, I got a kilt and the whole she-bang (sghian dubh, gillies, jacobite shirt with a suit jacket that I can change it out with) with my claimed Tartan on it as well. (for my 21st b-day)
BTW, the idea of a clan having a set plaid is really new.
It wasn't until King (George I believe it was) made a decree that he would like to meet all the Scottish Chiefs, and have them wear their "Clan's Tartan"
None of the Chiefs at the time had a clue what their Tartans were supposed to be (they didn't "own" a pattern at the time) And so they all rushed to a textile mecca in Scotland and picked from a selection of patterns that are still being "copyrighted" to this day.
That's how some companies are claiming tartans today. There is even a "Sighn Plaid" for Indians from the sub-continent.
History lesson for today :)
