L'une des théories les plus farfelues est que Nessie est un plésiosaure à long cou qui a survécu à l'extinction des dinosaures. Selon une autre théorie, le monstre serait en réalité un esturgeon ou un poisson-chat géant. Plusieurs croient que les observations sont des canulars ou qu'elles peuvent être expliquées par des bûches flottantes ou des vents forts. 2, record 2, French, - monstre%20du%20Loch%20Ness
