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.

Or has crabs...
Well, there could be more than one.
There is definitely something there, and the evidence against Nessie is very weak.
However, that is no tooth.

"The Loch Ness monster is a...crab"?
LOL!
Inverness Crab?
Thanks for posting the picture. These comments are cracking me up. I needed a good diversion from the illegal alien thing, (too fwustwating).
Seriously, I'm with you. It looks like a claw, with the "teeth" mostly sanded off. The way it spreads out toward the base, tapers at the tip, is not very toothlike, but the base spread is what it should be near a joint and the tip is hooked like a crab claw. And the color at the tip, that's a claw thing, not a tooth thing.
As hoaxes go, there are better.
Notice the cruve of the tooth, not look at the root; it doesn't look structurally sound. So consider, we have a predatory mammal that has never been sighted, with a tooth 4 inches long, that isn't structrually sound nor does it have signs of wear (notice the tip). Sorry, my BS detector is going off.
Also, to me, it goes against logic that a tooth would have a barb on it. A barb would only make it difficult for the animal to consume what it just killed or bit into.
Naw, looks more like a griffin's claw...
I kind of liked Inverness... some parts of it are rather pretty to walk around, especially the islands in the Ness.
I went to college in St. Andrews - now there's a place that's not worth visiting. Feh.
LOL!
Just freakin great, the damn thing can walk now too!
Therizinosaurus
perhaps? (note the claws)Apparently, Mary (Queen Of Scots) saw "Nessie"
while being held captive in Castle Urquhart. My
mom read the book that's from (she doesn't remember
what one, it's been a while) & Mary wrote about
a large fish monster in her journal. Of course, she's
not the only opne in History to have seen it.
I particularly like the part where the blur out the faces of the "eye-witlesses"...
That gives me an idea. They're pretty gullible South of the border -- "Cupacabras" is believed by millions, and rumors spread like wildfire. Well, let's start a rumor about some large freaky beast that migrates (by air) from the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of California and whose route takes it approximately across the full length of the U.S.-Mexico border. It does its flying only at night in remote areas, and that's why there are no pictures of it. (In the day it rests, and camouflages perfectly into the landscape). When it hunts, it swoops down and picks off animals up to 250 lbs, leaving no trace of them.
If this rumor successfully spread it would be more effective than a full deployment of the National Guard.
Not only does the "tooth" look bogus (where is the root? what kind of enamel is black? what about that hook on the so-called tooth?)... but take a look at the FINGERS on the hand of the guy holding the tooth. He or she has the shortest fingers I've ever seen in my life. As much as I'd like to believe that there is something crawling around Scotland with four-inch teeth living in Loch Ness, this screams phony. Or at least one of those cheesy movies on the Sci Fi Channel.
