I've always been a proponent of the giant eel theory for Nessy and her relatives. I even put a thread up on ATS with a theory on how this was possible.
Perhaps I should put that thread up here now. It was the old Michigan Swamp Buck profile, the original on ATS.
Quote:Fosters Island Rule Applied to Lake Monsters
Crypozoology is a favorite subject of mine and anything on this topic will get my attention. Of special personal interest are lake monsters, particularly those of the sea serpent variety. These are of the type like the famous Loch Ness monster and the water horses of Europe with their New World cousins like Champ or Ogopogo. Based on descriptions, locations, and other information, I propose that these lake monsters are unusually large specimens of a known species caused by “insular gigantism” AKA the “Foster’s Island Rule.”
