There are many theories about the Loch Ness monster, but one thing is for sure: it’s a dinosaur! Some people believe that the Loch Ness monster is a plesiosaur, a type of long-necked, aquatic dinosaur that went extinct 65 million years ago. Others believe that it could be a mosasaur, another type of extinct aquatic dinosaur. There is even a theory that the Loch Ness monster is a pterosaur, a flying dinosaur! Whichever theory is true, one thing is certain: the Loch Ness monster is a dinosaur!<\/p>\n

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the Loch Ness Monster is a dinosaur.<\/p>\n

Does plesiosaurus still exist? <\/h2>\n

The K-T event was a cataclysmic event that occurred at the end of the Cretaceous period, approximately 66 million years ago. All plesiosaurs became extinct as a result of this event.<\/p>\n

Marine reptiles, such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs, are not dinosaurs. Nor is Dimetrodon or other reptiles in the same group (previously called ‘mammal-like reptiles’ and now called synapsids). None of these other extinct groups shared the characteristic upright stance of dinosaurs.<\/p>\n

Did plesiosaurs live in saltwater <\/h3>\n
