Do you think that Nessie returns to the Scottish Loch Ness to breed?

Asked by msh (4270points) November 4th, 2015 from iPhone

Tucked in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness is one of the largest bodies of fresh water in the countries of Great Britain. Beautiful, cold, and rather murky, the water, at some angles, appears to continue right up into the colors of the skies.
Long held as either truth or myth, the Loch Ness Monster, or more affectionately called by all living in the area; Nessie, has been a hotly debated discussion topic, subject of pub bets, and numerous scientific expeditions. All have tried to figure out whether she lives, or is simply a myth.
Sightings of Nessie are numerous enough, down through time, that no one can decide the answer.
Loch Ness is deep and does not have perfect sonic nor photographed views of the underwater layout of caves, nooks and cranies, plus any other waterway connections. As to where a long in length and dark colored swimmer might hide, or navigate the waterways of the larger island of Scotland, Wales, and England, is anyone’s guess.
Do you think that if Nessie exists in this area, as recorded down through time, that perhaps the Scottish Loch may provide the safest and most protected breeding and nursery area for the beginnings of the next batch of little ‘Nessies’? Or does she always reside within the waters of Loch Ness in the Highlands, surfacing long enough to entice and then sink back down again into her mysterious existance?

Are we sure that Nessie didn’t move to Vermont and change her name to Champ?

Due to the industrial age, followed by the communications age, and then the electronic age, lots of people thought the planet was pretty well explored, and most of its inhabitants known and catalogued.
Of course we now know there is still a great deal to learn about our planet and the inhabitants we share it with.
Species thought to be prehistoric pop up from time to time. Species are frequently newlydiscovered.
I have no guess whether a Nessie style creature could be found in the Loch, but I would not discount the existence of something there which would fit descriptions. I should think there would be more than one.
It remains for now a mystery, and perhaps ever after, but it is fun to suppose.

I can’t be bothered to look for it, but there’s the famous photo of what appears to be a long neck & a small head coming out of the loch, ooh…monster styley.
What it really shows is an elephants trunk, they use them as a snorkel when briefly dipping underwater.
A travelling circus was in town at the time & they would give the elephants a cooling off from the heat of the day, that’s it, there is no wee beastie…och aye tha noo!

If you listen to the “Ancient Aliens” arschkrampen, then there is an interplanetary wormhole at the bottom of the lake, where the “nessie” alien creature periodically comes through to pose for some blurry pictures.

Return from where? The mountains? Loc Ness is a landlocked lake.
