I have never seen one leap out of the water, but it would be interesting to compare the two. That beast *seemed* to be using its tail, as opposed to (say) being ejected from an underwater platform by some device, but then people don't have to do anything like that these days, do they? They just learn how to use Maya or Photoshop or whatever it is and do it that way.

Notice also that the tail is the type that could give acceleration and that the roll could be in such a way to be consitant with other jumping water creatures.

> > I have seen many sea creatures leap out of the water: humpback whales, dolphins, sharks, tuna, rays, and many small fish. I have never seen anything like the creature in the Loch Ness video, but it looks like a real creature of some kind. It does not look like any of the creatures I just listed, though.

> > A whale jumping out of the water is very impressive. When I saw it happen, the whale was making a deep dive (over 150 ft) and left behind a round flat area of water. It was fascinating. I have also seen them flap their tails and flukes on the water.

> > I have been to Loch Ness, but it was raining and grey that day, and the water was calm and flat apart from the raindrops on the surface. The monster museum was an interesting collection of publicity items. I kept a small stone from the shore of the Loch as a memento of that visit, so long ago.

> Let us look at a short clip of dolphins jumping. Notice that the dolphin has the same fin as the monster in the Loch Ness. But notice the difference in the landing and the leap.
> Could the dolphin have evolved from the Loch Ness monster? The dolphins are friendly and so is the monster.
