Champ is one such creature (could also be a zeugolodon (sp?) or some yet unidentified species.

Actually, I believe the species has been narrowed down to one of two. Respected scientists are still debating however which one is more plausible, Acer saccharum or Quercus velutina.

Another Hovind fan? The man does spin a good yarn, I'll give him that.

Question: I'm sure you've seen the Japanese trawler photos as well as the more recent hunk of possible pleisiosaur flesh in South America. So... are these guys Fresh (Lake Champlain, Loch Ness) water or ocean dwelling modern day dinosaurs?

Acer saccharum or Quercus velutina
Aren't these species of trees??

The Japanese photos are debatable (which is one reason I didn't bring them up). Theory one says it is a plesiosaur. Theory two says it is basking shark. DNA sampling seems to indicate the latter, however there is only 96% similarity in the genetics and we don't know what plesiosaur DNA looks like. There is also DNA similarity between humans and apes (more than with the shark and the sample), but humans and apes can not mate and reproduce a cross-species.
