I believe in the 70s there was a boat that hit a large creature in the loch and had a huge chunk of flesh on the propeller that they connected to an eel species in some way or another. It was described as having a rubbery like black skin upon the flesh, but the sample was thrown out by a fool who did not know any better. wish I could remember more but its many 20 years since I have come across that information so I don't remember it in it's entirety. But I do think it is a really good explanation for the situation. It clearly cant be a dinosaur because the only habitat that could fit a large enough breeding species for a creature of that size without being noticed over the last 1000 years would likely be the ocean. So I believe that its a reasonable guess based on the survivability of other eels.

Oh, this is a brilliant take on the Loch Ness Monster! So much attention has focussed on Nessie being plesiosaur that surveys of the fish population have been done in an effort to see if the Loch could support such a relict population. This video flips this idea completely on it's head. What if, rather than a relict population of fish eating aquatic reptiles, Nessie is in fact a semi aquatic land animal hunting carnivorous fish? This would mean all those surveys that looked at eels and said there weren't enough to keep Nessie alive, were looking at Nessie all the time?

The original descriptions of Nessies, all the way back to 565 A.D., were of a sea serpent, or a Wyrm, not a Plesiosaur, so describing it, specifically, as a kind of large eel makes quite a bit more sense. In fact, here are some things that I've found that suggest an even earlier time period- "The earliest written record of the Loch Ness Monster, also known as "Nessie", is from 565 AD when St. Columba is said to have driven a beast back into the water of the river that flows into Loch Ness. Between the 1500s and 1800s, there were 21 recorded sightings of the creature by local people. Some of the earliest evidence of the Loch Ness Monster may be carvings made by ancient inhabitants of the Scottish Highlands around 1,500 years ago." "However, the Picts weren’t the first people to live around Loch Ness, and if the dinosaur-like creature is as old as has been claimed, earlier inhabitants may have spotted the beast. In the last 10 years, another prehistoric cemetery in Drumnadrochit on the northern shore of Loch Ness has been excavated. Several discoveries on the site, including a beaker pot found in a small stone-lined grave (known as a cist) in late 2017, dated the cemetery to the Bronze Age, about 1,000 years before the Picts were around. But the site was also occupied for a brief stint in the Neolithic period around 3,600-3,500 BC."

Since you mentioned Lake Champlain, I feel like I should include the fact that I know someone who has claimed to have witnessed Champ several times, and in some cases has seen multiple individuals at once. These sightings are not connected to the most popular pieces of 'evidence' for the creature, such as the likely disproven Mansi photograph. Based on the descriptions I heard, Champ bears remarkable resemblance to the Triassic reptile Tanystropheus. Although impossible to be a living descendant, it is most likely to be a reptile of some sorts that has convergently evolved a similar body plan. This means it is likely under 20ft long with roughly 30-40% of its body being its neck. This also means that it's capable of terrestrial locomotion, which has been reported in a few other Champ sightings. According to what the witness told me, he was on a boat in sometime in the late 2000s and noticed not one, but two Champs. He claims to have seen the two corral a school of fish using their necks into a shallow cove, and even saw it eating them. He didn't capture it on film but did notice the animal from the shoreline years later with its head above the water, notably possessing a very flexible neck. Dennis Hall, a cryptozoologist who has claimed to have seen Champ over 20 times, also supports this idea of Champ being a Tanystropheous or something like it. There are also unknown sounds that have been recorded in the lake which sound like the echolocation of belugas and dolphins, which if connected to Champ, suggests the reptile is capable of using echolocation. I would love to see you tackle this cryptid, regardless of what it would end up becoming in your video.

The Loch Ness Monster, a fantastical classic! It makes perfect sense that it's a massive species of Anguila Eels, and why no one has ever found proof of the Monster's existence. It's better than assuming it's a Plesiosaur that miraculously survived the Kp-g Extinction. I was honestly hoping that the next episode after the Minotaur was gonna be Centaurs, given that we were heading to the Mountains of Thessaly after the last episode. Also, I hope we'll be seeing some more legendary greatures, like Griffins, Trolls, Elves, or some other creature that doesn't need to be observed or dissected. But rather, be interviewed. That would be game changing! But regardless, This is such a good episode, and I hope to see more!! Keep up the astounding and fantastic work, Thought Potato!!!

If it was faked by them I guess they could’ve use an underwater drone or something, but even that seems kinda weird. There are lots of things on this world that I think bleed through from other dimensions and wander around, I don’t see why if they do it on land there can’t be ones that live in the water too. That would explain why they’re rarely ever seen. As our scientific knowledge increases we show that things are possible, which a hundred years ago seemed impossible. We want to believe we’re at the apex already, but we’re nowhere close.

So wait, if nessianicus grew so large due to being trapped in the loch, how would there be new juveniles migrating there? Do some nessianicus inhabit other lochs, but just never reach the same sizes, or do some nessianicus in loch ness manage to mature into silver eels and migrate back through the same river they entered the loch from? Were nessianicus average sized eels before the closure of the subterranean passage, or were they always larger than other eel species

Not sure if you’ll see this comment but I have an interesting idea for the phenix video when you inevitably get to it. Flame resistant down. Duck like oil glands that make a substance with a low flashpoint and that burns relatively cool. Instead of molting it burns it’s flammable top feathers. Why? To scare predators. To burn off parasites. To signal others for whatever reason. To play dead either to seem less appetizing or to draw in a carnivore that eats dead things and ambush it. On maybe flame molting is just faster.

If there isn't a monster, then what are they selling plushies of? There may or may not be something there, but Nessie is real, and essential to the local economy.

Yes, in most of old legends and in old tales the "Sea Monster" is actually a Sea Serpent. Tribes have been telling these stories for hundreds of years. Compelling stories, attacks, and video evidences are the same. ALWAYS eel or snake-like creature .Even the small details on these creatures are always serpent-like. I have no idea why people keep pushing this Plesiosaur BS. Fan of the topic, but never understood it. Great and smart video!

I like the idea of them being super long-lived eels that only started existing in the 30s to explain why no remains have been found. Also, I heard that sightings of Nessie have gone down in recent years, lending to the idea that maybe she's finally died and lying somewhere at the bottom.

I think this is a solid take especially given your research on land, however it doesn’t explain long neck often associated with the monster and the fact that Nessie swims/undulates vertically, is seen swimming at high speed at the surface, and ‘bounds’ on land which eels are not able to do. That being said I think this is still a very interesting discovery and I still believe Nessie is rather a large mammal that is capable of aquatic & terrestrial movement

Indeed, I’ll have to agree! Though the art displayed seems to have the most detail portrayed in Nessie’s anterior regions, so I can say the lack of attention to the tail may be a stylistic choice? Furthermore the skeletal structure in the thumbnail & video ignore the pectoral fins, dorsal fin spine-vertebral structures, and just most anything beyond the skull and vertebrae.

Im genuinely horrified of the idea of a lake monster swimming beneath me. I cant handle swimmung in lakes because of it. I know its irrational but the idea of seeing some gaping maw barreling towards me from deep below the water is the worst thing i can imagine. The ocean is ok for me but any deep lake is a no go.

I remember reading a book with a blue cover in my school library when I was a kid about the Loch Ness Monster, and it also suggested the possibility that it could be a giant eel. Seems more likely than a plesiosaur, if he does exist. I know it's more likely the result of indulging too much at Iverness pubs, but still, it would be just nice if it did exist.
