Question
Could the Loch Ness ecosystem and/or environmental conditions support a gene pool of 'monsters' for hundreds or even thousands of years? What is your opinion on the possibility that a population of Plesiosaurs could survive in the Loch?

Answer
Hi Kim
 I do not believe so. Organisms and their environment go togther.. Dinosauers existed  within a particular environmntal frmework.  The environment has changed since prehistoric times and to survive the reptiles had to change with it.. They did not and extinction followed
