Question

Some people firmly believe that the Loch Ness monster is actually a plesiosaur. Use at least three details from the account to explain why some people believe this.

Answer 1

Some people believe the Loch Ness monster is a plesiosaur based on fossil evidence of land-dwelling reptiles that reproduced on land and were poor swimmers, contrasting with the idea of a powerful aquatic creature. Fossil remains of freshwater reptiles with limbs for swimming and walking suggest similar creatures may have lived in lakes or coastal areas.

Some people believe that the Loch Ness monster is actually a plesiosaur based on several details from fossil evidence. Firstly, the fossil evidence of Lystrosaurus, a land-dwelling reptile, shows that it reproduced by laying eggs on land, suggesting that it was not adapted for aquatic life like the Loch Ness monster. Secondly, the fossil remains of Cynognathus, another land reptile, indicate that it was a weak swimmer, further contrasting it with the idea of the Loch Ness monster as a powerful aquatic creature. Lastly, the fossil remains of Mesosaurus, a freshwater reptile that had limbs for swimming but could also walk on land, suggest that creatures like the Loch Ness monster may have lived in lakes and coastal bays or estuaries.

Answer 2

You have no answer choices, but I hope that this helps with you writing your answer.

1. People have seen it and when we have documentation of eyewitness accounts, people believe what other people swear that they saw.

2. Sonar has been used to "see" the bottom of the lake/sea floor. They claim that they cannot see it with the naked eye due to all of the stuff on the bottom of the lake, but sound waves have been used to "prove" Nessie exists.

3. Some say that Nessie is a plesiosaurus. Maybe Nessie just did not evolve like the other plesiosaurs. They died out a long time ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you see Nessie, you would believe too.
