Mojtaba, maybe the lake is too big for one wecamera. Loch Ness has about 56 square kilometers wherein over 36 km lenght. One camera not enough.

For me scientist should examine the bottom of the lake searching big animals’ skeletons. We, people, still find the living fossils, small and big, so who knows? Maybe in Loch Ness live dinosaurs? Time will solve this puzzle.

It may be. But If we haven’t got any proof, we are rigt to be skeptical. İn the past there was dinosours. we can see this helping with the scients. Th thing is there is no any evidence about this legend. So Im a little doubtful.
