Picture of loch ness monster by Robert Rine?
Loch Ness Monster: The Loch Ness Monster-sometimes called Nessie-is a creature or group of creatures said to live in Loch Ness, a deep freshwater loch (lake near the city of Inverness in northern Scotland. Nessie is generally categorized as a lake monster. Along with Bigfoot and Yeti, Nessie is perhaps the best-known mystery in crypto zoology. Most mainstream scientists and other experts find current evidence supporting Nessie unpersuasive, and regard such reports as hoaxes or misidentification of mundane creatures. Most accounts of the monster's appearance, including historical ones indicate a creature resembling the long-extinct plesiosaur. Actual fossil evidence for this Mesozoic creature shows it to have been physically large with a long neck and tiny head, with flippers for propulsion. The alleged connection of this creature with the Loch Ness monster has made it popular topic in the field of cryptozoology. However, most scientists suggest that the idea that the Loch Ness Monster is a remnant of the Mesozoic era is highly unlikely - there would need to be a breeding colony of such creatures for there to have been any long-term survival, an coupled with the fact that plesiosaurs needed to surface to breathe, this would result in far more frequent sightings than have actually been reported. Many biologists also argue Loch Ness is not large or productive enough to support even a small family of these creatures. Moreover the Loch was created as the result of geologically recent glaciations and was frozen solid during recent ice-ages.
The Loch Ness Monster is a myth, it has never been seen, all the alleged sightings, photos and film have been scientifically proven to be either fake or of something other than a 'monster'
What evidence suggests the existence of the Loch Ness monster Nessie?
Just the fact that there's no real evidence FOR the Loch Ness Monster as yet. The one photo that was supposed to have been taken of the monster has been called a fake by the man who took it, and no one has yet to find a monster-sized object moving around Loch Ness. While it does not disprove anything, it certainly means nothing has been proven.

When did the Loch Ness Monster first appear?
The earliest report of a monster associated with the vicinity of Loch Ness appears in the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán, written sometime during the 7th century.[13] According to Adomnán, writing about a century after the events he described, the Irish monk Saint Columba was staying in the land of the Picts with his companions when he came across the locals burying a man by the River Ness. They explained that the man had been swimming the river when he was attacked by a "water beast" that had mauled him and dragged him under. They tried to rescue him in a boat, but were able only to drag up his corpse. Hearing this, Columba stunned the Picts by sending his follower Luigne moccu Min to swim across the river. The beast came after him, but Columba made the sign of the cross and commanded: "Go no further. Do not touch the man. Go back at once."[14] The beast immediately halted as if it had been "pulled back with ropes" and fled in terror, and both Columba's men and the pagan Picts praised God for the miracle.[14] Believers in the Loch Ness Monster often point to this story, which notably takes place on the River Ness rather than the loch itself, as evidence for the creature's existence as early as the 6th century.[15] However, skeptics question the narrative's reliability, noting that water-beast stories were extremely common in medieval saints' Lives; as such, Adomnán's tale is likely a recycling of a common motif attached to a local landmark.[16] According to the skeptics, Adomnán's story may be independent of the modern Loch Ness Monster legend entirely, only becoming attached to it in retrospect by believers seeking to bolster their claims.[15] Additionally, in an article for Cryptozoology, A. C. Thomas notes that even if there were some truth to the story, it could be explained rationally as an encounter with a walrus or similar creature that had gotten up the river.[15]
Existence has not yet been proven, so we don't know.
Answer:
People fishing for Nessie, the famous monster of Loch Ness, often bait their hooks with (store bought) haggis. This is done to imitate the critter's natural food, the Great Highland free-roaming haggis. Nessie captures and eats these rare creatures when they slip off the sloped banks of the Loch. When they enter the water, as they have evolved with the legs on the left or right side of their body longer than the other side to assist them in walking on mountain sides, they can only swim in circles. They rapidly tire becoming easy prey for the monster.
A rarely known fact about Nessie's eating habits is that she is unable to fully digest the skin or fur of the haggis. But, she has adapted, and now will regurgitate these waste products soon after eating one, to avoid the constipation and flatus that occurs if the hide is allowed to travel further down her digestive tract, which causes the haggtose intolerance. Locals of the area regularly scour the vicinity around the lake to find the hairy haggis hides hidden on the banks by the monster. Once these hides are tanned by one of the ancient Highland techniques, they can be used as a cost-effective imitation of the more popular, and more expensive, hide from the famous Nauga, from Naugatuck, Connecticut (Naugahyde), sometimes in upholstery work. But, owing to the hide's size and shape, it is used more often to create the bladder for the beloved Great Highland Bagpipe.
An aside note: There have been reports over the centuries of the sound of distant bagpipes coming from the lake. Some people attribute these musical notes to Nessie's haggtose intolerance-induced flatus, but no one has been able to verify that as the source of the sounds as yet. The bagpipe itself, with the use of the haggis hide, may
have been developed to imitate those sounds of Nessie echoing over the Loch.
We do off course , at Scottish Myths and Legends Limited [ S.M.A.L.L] receive tripe like this daily. The truth is that Nessie eats tourists proved by the fact that so few people are around to say they have seen her. Locals do not fall into her clutches as her feeding times are the same as the pub opening hours, why do you think they were set as they are? Have you ever seen a Scotsman on the lochside with a camera during opening hours. I rest my case.
Is the loch ness monster bigger than the blue whale?
Since neither creature has been proven to exist, it would be impossible to tell.
Is Nessie a dinosaurs and what kind is it?
The Loch Ness monster (Nessie) is a fictitious creature.
The few 'sightings' of it have not generated enough 'reliable' information for those who might be able to classify it to be able to do so.
Sometimes these so called "mysterious creatures" turn out to be a flick of light and shadows...
