Neat story, neat tooth. Wonder what it they made it out of.

"I mean, water bailiff?"
There actually *are* water bailiffs who patrol the Loch, though...

If Nessie is real why have we never found a dead one?

Has anyone noticed the contradiction of what is written versus what is in the video.
They wrote this: "Using a screwdriver, we cracked open the ribcage and pried it loose."
But in the video the guy just pulls it out and nobody even had a screwdriver. The deer's ribcage isn't even cracked open when he pulled the "tooth" out.
I wrote them and told them of their little goof up... no response. Hmmmm.

And the cameraman is reading (poorly) from a script. I really expected better than this, after I heard it on the radio this morning.

heck with the tooth where did these guys get the deer? Too bad it wasn't a game warden that came along.

That tooth looks a bit like half of a crab's claw.

Well, Bill wrote back. He said he'd hang these guys by the balls if he found out this was a hoax. I'm saying, get your gloves on. lol This Del guy hasn't replied though.
I feel a bit bad for Bill. But he needs to cut these phonies loose. That video is so badly rehearsed and doesn't even match what they wrote.
Plus, Bill wants me or a forum moderator to call him. But I don't want to. lol I don't know much about that stuff... but I know a hoax when I see one.

If you've read the book "The Loch" this tooth fits the creature described in it. BTW, it's not a friendly Pleasuar, it's something that would make you go running into the night screaming, if you got away. I believe the tooth was confiscated so DNA couldn't be ran on it showing it a killer and thereby hurting the tourism industry there.

A water bailiff is similar to a game warden over there. Once they die, it wouldn't take long for sturgeons to eat the body of one which would sink to the bottom of the Loch. There's very likely only one creature over there. It got shut in during road construction. Again, read the book, Alten does extensive research before he writes a book. If he didn't believe it existed, he wouldn't have written the book.

What I haven't seen on here is the fact that after some cryptozoologists, a marine biologist, museum curators and one very interested individual put up $100,000 reward to get the tooth back. They evidently believe the tooth is real and are backing it up with cash.
Sorry, yes, there are water bailiffs on Loch Ness. My bad.

Got any names for these people?
Frankly, this book sounds like a pile of poo to me, but I'd be willing to read it if I can get my hands on a copy.

You're getting this from what, as far as I can tell, is described as "great beach reading." by The American Library Association. Going by the reviews and blurb, this sounds like schlock horror.
And, just as an interesting aside, I nearly drowned in Loch Ness at the age of about ten. No nightmares or anything, though.

You'll be seeing it soon or hearing it or possibly seeing it. I'm getting that from a historical theory. The whole thing is laid out in The Loch, a recently released book (with the exception of the two students). It also tells what this creature is and really makes alot of sense.
