Lake Monsters; what are they?

We have all, at some time discussed the possibility of a creature living in Loch Ness, Lake Champlain, Lake Seljordsvatnet or one of the other dozen or so lakes around the globe.

No one knows for sure what these creatures are or even that they really exist. We can dismiss many sightings as probably misidentified natural phenomena. Large logs, unusual wave patterns, and even other animals like otters, Seals and birds have been mistaken for the monsters.

Cryptozoologists and researchers who study and hunt these unknown, legendary, or supposedly extinct creatures believe, the consensus seems to be that the Loch Ness Monster, and perhaps many of her cousins that fit the same description, is a plesiosaur. Now we know the Plesiosaurs roamed the oceans of the world during the late Triassic period (about 213 million years ago) to the Cretaceous period, dying out when all other dinosaurs did about 65 million years ago. As far as science knows, none have survived. Yet is is possible that some have?

I believe there is something in many of the stories and witness sightings, I don't believe the creatures are Dino's but most probably large eels or some form of new species similar, like the cadbosaurus (spelt wrong) that has found its way to the lakes or Lochs and then due to new installations of dams and river lock systems it has found itself stranded and then eveolved into what we are witnessing now..

OK... Maybe I will stick with the Eel theory.
