Abominablis Nix Ver

[AV1611VET]

Exactly.

Specifically, it is an act of creatio ex imaginatione, done by Robert L. May in 1939.

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

Do they anticipate finding one?

It's considered extremely unlikely for a number of reasons, including the lack of evidence of a sufficiently large breeding population to maintain the species.

But didn't they go look for Nessie?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

But didn't they go look for Nessie?

People have gone looking for all sorts of creatures that people have only scant evidence for.

Professional scientists will say that it doesn't exist because Loch Ness can't support a creature like that. But others will claim otherwise and still continue to look for it.

That's kind of a snap judgement, wouldn't you say?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Not really since they'd actually study it. Which means time and effort, things that snap judgment is anathema to.

They studied what? a photograph of something they concluded couldn't fit the ecological niche?

Makes me wonder how in-depth [pardon the pun] they studied the Flood and the Exodus.

I have to wonder why you even care when all you make is snap judgments about science and scientists all the time.

Google it, there as been a fair number of scientific studies trying to find and understand Loch Ness.

Monster.

If they couldn't find Loch Ness, they probably weren't good at reading maps.

So why is the Abominablis Nix Ver any different?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

So why is the Abominablis Nix Ver any different?

... It's kind of not. People who call themselves cryptozoologists have tried looking for the yeti, and biologists have actually studied things claimed to be from the yeti.

It's very much the same as the situation with the Loch Ness Monster.

Because limnologists can measure the primary production of Loch Ness and measure the various plant eaters and see how much life is in the lake and if it could sustain such a creature. It can't.

And let me guess.

They're assigning certain criteria to this creature they've never see before to ascertain its survivability within the loch?

Seems to me they jumped the gun with a tooth at one time and ended up looking like hams.

There are claims of how large the monster is and rather solid formulae for estimating the metabolic needs of large creatures.

And you wonder why I go with the Bible, if and when It is ever contradicted by science?

No, I don't wonder, but I also don't care.

I'd say that has the least amount of bearing on the subject.

Animals of certain sizes have certain requirements, especially when it comes down to food. A creature like Nessie would need a larger population of fish to feed on than what Loch Ness can sustain. Either that, or people would probably start disappearing around there. Or there'd be a skeleton of Nessie found on the shore of the loch.

Biological creatures follow the rules of biology, it's that simple.

Can't nature find a way?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

I do not get what you are trying to say.

Can nature find a way to break the laws of nature and biology? No.
