Do you think there are sea creature yet to be discovered?? (Just in resent years, the Giant Squid was discovered.On September 30, 2004, researchers from the National Science Museum of Japan and the Ogasawara Whale Watching Association took the first images of a live giant squid in its natural habitat. Several of the 556 photographs were released a year later. The same team successfully filmed a live giant squid for the first time on December 4, 2006. Largest giant squid are the most mysterious animals. No live giant squid has ever been captured, but body parts turn up all the time.) Do you believe the Loch Ness Monster is real? {Loch Ness plunges to a depth of over 250m (750 feet) and the crushing pressure and pitch black water has made investigation by diving more or less impossible. Nevertheless, one or two submarines have paid a visit to the bottom but have failed to locate comprehensive proof of a large monster. Over the years hundreds of witnesses have come forward with tales of what they have seen in or around the loch. Classic evidence includes stories of upturned boats and serpent-like necks twisting up out of the water.}

I believe that there is much more to discover than we could ever even imagine to exist, JessyBlue! Every year many sea, land or hybrid species are discovered. Many species thought extinct have also been found in last century, not necessarily exactly where they could be thought possible. Like "coelacanth" which was believed to be extinct along with plesiosaur. It was found near Madagascar. I believe that with more advanced technology in near future we can ascertain whether Loch Ness Monster is real or simply a myth. We may, rather we will, also find some other amazing creatures and species, the inhabitants of deeper and darker sea:-) We havn't yet researched the oceans specially, way off shore. I mean research in north Atlantic, Antarctica and central Indian and Pacific are not even close to comprehensive. So let's see what technological and scientific advancement has to offer us in future. I am waiting for some interesting facts to come out:-)

Ehhh, its raining here, so I keep loosing my Internet connection (frustrating) I remember when I was in the 4th grade and my library teacher showed us a film/documentary about Nessi, she was convinced that it exists. The film even at age 9 years old to me was very interesting. Like "coelacanth" which was believed to be extinct along with plesiosaur. It was found near Madagascar.

Yes, JessyBlue, "coelacanth" was discovered back in 1938. I took the information from "wikipedia". Scientists doubt if Nessi really exists, rather some has explicitly denied any such thing based on some known scientific facts about behavior, habitat and nature of "plesiosaur". So let's see:-)

They may not be "sea creatures" but new tropical fishes are being discovered almost every day. That is why there are so many "L" nameds catfish.
