I would like to believe in Nessie, but I don't think it's possible. First of all, it would take a sizable population just to maintain breeding needs. And then, the amount of fish it would take to feed that many Nessies would be enormous or they would have to be bigger fish; more than can be sustained within Loch Ness's eco-system. Also, there have been no remains found ever. It's just impossible.
It's one of those things where people believe because they WANT to believe...
