You miss my point. This animal either breathes water like a fish or air like a reptile. If it is a water breather where are the gills? Additionally, the body shape does not support water breathing, in my opinion. Also, if it is a water breather like a fish why would it stick its head above the water surface? No other fish does this.
If the animal is a plesiosaur, then it is an air breather. That would mean Loch Ness has a breeding population of extremely large reptiles that would be constantly surfacing to breath. So where are they?
Additonally, if the animal is a reptile then where does it breed? Water reptiles, like turtles, crocodiles, and frogs, breed in one of two ways. Either they come on shore to lay their eggs, like turtles and crocodiles; or they lay their eggs in the shallows like frogs.
So again, how does the animal breathe and how does it breed?
