Nessie is a well know creature believed to have been part of a "pod" of elasmosaurs which swam into the loch millions of years ago to escape the predators of the sea, they became stranded and retreated to underwater cave when whatever wiped out the dinosaurs began to happen, they began breeding and breeding surviving alongside the fish and crocodiles, after generations the creature has lived on sharing its genes each time it breeds.
