Thread: proof of nessie like fish?

Now compare that to the plesioarus that many speculate is the Nessie like creature sightings..I see a possible reason for mistaking them...

Plesiosaur are extinct. Nessie and it's cousins may be some kind of descendent...but...until we can capture one we will never know for sure.

You want wierd though try this one, the "jaw fish"

nivek...thanks...this looks nothing like a pleisiosaur to me.....or something that one could have evolved into.

I personally think there are to many "ifs" for lake monsters to be pleisiosaurs.

Well, given the evidence at hand, I'm gonna have to say that it does look like one of those chaemera fish, or at least in the same family. The dead give away for me was that spine looking thing coming out of the dorsal area, consistent with the other pictures of those fish

We all know dinosaurs still exist but in miniatures, Like turkeys if you take all teh feathers off you got a dinosaur body and legs, chameleons with horns etc.
So maybe this is a miniature Nessie ??

lemax...an interesting article....no doubt there are dinosaur relatives still running around today....this is commonly accepted. However, I didn't see any pictures of Nessie in this article.

OH well, seems this was a chimera fish of some sort after all??? and I was so hoping! on the dinosaur relatives thing, Ive heard there are NO living relatives of dinosaurs today and they were ' one of a kind' with reards to what species they were and all, swome have said they think birds are related or alligators, crocs, etc, but not according to the show I watched some time ago, they said dinosaurs were completely unique and different compared to anything living today.

Science fact changes with better evidence.
Crocs and sharks were around when dinosaurs were, and are older.
Bigger versions of course.

A microscan of T rex fossil leg bones reveal a spongy structure unique to birds.
Fossil feathers have been found with dinosaur fossiles.
Knee joints are distinctive and unique to dinosaurs and birds.
Dinosaurs are extinct, but their descendents appear to survive.
That is the current belief, which would suggest those with that lineage may have been warm blooded.

There were other large animals then, now extinct, that were not dinosaurs.
