Wow, I wish I had read everything before posting. It does look like an antler as I just said and as some were saying before. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
How does one become a cryptozoologist anyways? I want to live my life trying to prove unicorns and the Carcharodon megalogon really do exist.
Too bad Alten published the book when he did. If he had waited just a bit later he could have included the real footage of the giant squid. That was rather ammusing when I read that part of the book. I did enjoy the book though, I thought it was very interesting. |

there is only 1 plesiosaur left (what we call nessie) according to some scottish scientist
nessie was an jsut a dinosaur egg and at the start of the ice age it froze and got knocked onto the frozen loch ness by another creature, the end of the ice age, the ice melts, nessies egg plunges to the depths of loch ness, freezes for another 1000 years or watever, and then hatches, it comes out and survives to this day
and they have found a dead nessie, they've got a plesiosaur skeleton at the natural history museum in london |

Well done, o' credulous one.
There has never been any proof of 'Nessie'. It's a myth. There is no monster. It's a fun idea, like the tooth fairy, or santa.
That's it. |

Well argued Russell. You've managed to express so much ignorance in such a short sentence.
I'm sure all those people who make a living from the Loch Ness tourist industry have no vested interest in keeping the myth alive. |

Man, this is ridiculous. I mean, it's not going to be totally embedded in the cavity underneath the ribcage! It's going to be probably stuk in the muscle or something, but not inside the ribcage. |

Sorry again about the commennt. Yes, something else is wrong with it. I was skimming through the comments before I checked out the website. I thought that the tooth was totally encased in the ribcage. Darn my skimming skills!!! |

I'm almost done with this atrocious "novel". It's hard to fathom how Alten is able to be published. The story idea is a solid one for a thriller, but the writing is atrocious.
There are so many implausibilities here. One thing I don't quite get is the so-called lair of the monster.
Wallace's conveniently obtained diving suit tells him that the lair is 512 feet below the surface, even when he is out of the water. How does that work? It implies his depth guage functions properly despite not being underwater. Is the pressure in the chamber equal to that of the water?
How does this underground chamber exist? If it is that deep, and there is an airspace, wouldn't it have to be completely sealed? Otherwise it seems that the humoungous pressure of the loch would force all of the air out through cracks in the rock and fill the area with water. When the secret passage to the lair is opened wouldn't it cause a flood inside?
If it was sealed, wouldn't the pressure be above normal in the chamber due to the water wanting to equalize from the level 512 feet above? The chamber is full of crude oil and resulting fumes which ignite after Wallace sets off the bombs. It seems that the pressure combined with the explosion would just blow the whole thing the hell away.
How could the beast live in this evironment? With all of the rotting carcasses, crude oil, and lack of fresh air, it seems like it would have been a highly toxic environment.
I really liked the part where Wallace dives into the WATER, hangs onto a METAL grate (800 years in the highly acidic water and it's still there?!) grabs the wire from his suit's generator which is supposedly discharging "thousands of volts" of ELECTRICITY. I guess when you're the kind of badass scientist that rolls into Scotland and rents a Harley-Davidson despite not being an experienced rider and solve that whole loch ness thing, you can take some punishment.
Also, really good stuff when it is revealed that a nine-year-old Wallace had actually succeeded in luring the monster with a system of underwater microphones that had taken him "...months tae perfect...". I guess all those other monster hunters just "didnae" have the skill to pull it off.
I know it is a monster story and suspension of belief is required, but there are so many unneccesary holes in what could have been a good story. |

I tkink its totally fake just think the camera comes on and is on the dear for about a minute then the people start talking plus you can easily find a dead deer and that totally looked like a painted dear horn me have growin up near deer know that think about it. Anybody can come across a dead deer and paint its horn put multiple stab wounds in it. Why would something that lives in the water and eats fish come up out of the water and eat a dear and they say there is no bears around there, its called migration bears have paws they can walk. They say your not aloud to kill it just incase. Tranquilizer guns were never called not aloud. Duh Scientist just think people are dumb. Well if they belive in Nessie and Champ than those who dont just out smarted them. For over 100 years people have believed in |

While I don't want to jump to comclusions, the pictures shown here do not appear to depict an antler, at least not a normal one. If you look closely, the tip is hooked much like a bee's sting.
Upon seeing this picture, and the suggestion that it was the antler of a Roe Muntjac, I googled for images of the deer. The antlers are similar to the image in apparent size and (to a degree) coloration, but they are different enough that I do not believe them to belong to this species. |

Lets see the name Chuck Jones wasnt he the guy who helped make looney tunes Bugs, Daffy, Porky,ETC,ETC? I was listening to Mr Alten on Coast To Coast AM Radio Show hosted by George Noory I was able to get through and ask Mr Alten a question about the tooth telling him that it was proven to be an actual deer antler he then avoided answering me I was laughing but then I was cut off het then went on saying that if the creature was ever discoverd that the people in the area would suffer it sounds just like the movie plot Loch Ness the one with Ted Danson. |

"im willing to bet that the loch ness monster is an aguilla eel. not nesassarily an actual anguilla eel, but instead a precursor or ancestor of anguilla anguila. as we know, the ancestors are always larger and this would hold true to nessie."
No, ancestors are not always larger. Just look at early hominids, which were all much smaller than modern day humans. |

Bill McDonald's theory is much more believable than a plesiosoaur. I mean, if there is a "Nessie", would you believe that a million-year-old dinosaur has been living in the loch, or a mutated female anguilla eel? |
