Interview on the Loch Ness Monster
I had the pleasure of talking with Alyson Dunlop who runs the ADX-Files chat show yesterday and she has posted that 2 hour chat about Nessie today. Check it out at this link.
Very informative and kept me interested for the whole show, which is no mean feat. I'm just wondering how you might think that a water breather could walk on land? I'm aware it does happen with certain fairly small creatures, but have never heard of anything large with this ability.
Precisely. Which is my contention that the LNM could very well be some type of eel-like creature. Emphases on eel-like, not eel. Which would also account for land sightings.
If these creatures moved on land, even once in a blue moon, we'd be seeing a darn sight more of them and their existence would have been confirmed beyond doubt years ago. It's not a remote shoreline.
We have about 35 land sightings reports over 100 years or more. The average is one every 6 years IIRC. I wouldn't hinge the case for the Loch Ness Monster based on those stats.
Good show, thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat listen.
ReplyDeleteYes, good show GB. Cheers.

ReplyDeleteMartin, eels can travel on land for some distance. If a small eel can do it, then why not a big one?

DeleteGiant salamanders can. Chinese ones grow to 6 feet.
ReplyDeleteForgive me for my ignorance gentlemen (and possibly lady, Nessie hunter).
