The people who successfully find it. That why you always hear about people looking for it but never about anyone finding it.

Comment on Nessie hunters hear sounds but fail to record them

What does it eat? Large creatures need large amount of food. The water is fairly cold too, meaning the creature needs to eat a lot more.

It’s a massive, massive lake. It could sustain several Nessies, should any exist.
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
23 miles, so it’s not massive. it is deep. but there’s a fixed food supply; does the Ness river provide unobstructed access to the sea?
when I think massive I think lake superior. not something you can see across in both axis (weather, obviously depending)…

23 miles is pretty fucking big for a lake.
SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 10 months ago
What’s that supposed to prove? That its a big lake for UK standards?
United kingdom haha more like united small ass ponds.
Its really not that big of a lake
elscallr@lemmy.world 10 months ago
21sqmi wouldn’t be in the top 100 lakes in the US. It’s really lot that big at all.

You understand that fish breed, right? That all the food that any of us will ever need for generations to come does not currently exist in the here and now?
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
yes, fish breed. and eat each other. and nothing in that entire ecosystem suggests it can support a gigantic predator.
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Fish breed but Nessie fucks around for hundreds of years without a single shit washing ashore or a decent photo. In fact we live in a world of cameras, my phone has 5 of them right now, any of which would do just fine.

More Nessies mean it’s even more likely one gets documented

Actually, it seems cold conditions make animals more likely to grow big in order to be more energy efficient. That is why lots of deep sea creatures are larger than their counterparts that live on the warmer waters near the surface.

Jacob Gellar’s video on this is excellent… is a sentence you can say about many subjects. Anyway he highlights how the open ocean is kinda like deep space with zero visibility. Any square mile of open ocean is several cubic miles of water. Animals the size of cruise ships disappear at that scale.
Not so much in one well-searched lake.
