Hence, the investigation of Loch Ness…if you haven’t read through the sightings and the information available, then I wouldn’t expect you to consider there’s something there–but then it begs the question as to why you’re bothering to comment on threads related to it in the first place if you’re not interested.

As for the theorizing, that’s how science works–you make hypothesis about situations and phenomenon and then ask lots and lots of questions trying to pare down the variables and make sense of the data until you get answers.

How many points are there on Rudolph’s antlers?

It would first need to be established that the Loch Ness Monster is real before it would make sense to ask if it can see.

Glad you cleared that up, Poe. Succinctly, even.

While at first thought, the idea that Nessie may be blind due to the dark water, peat, etc. may make sense on some level, it still doesn’t hold water.

Giant squids, which live way down in the depths have huge eyes. While I think the environment of Loch Ness would impede normal vision, Nessie may not rely entirely on vision to scope out food. There’s all manner of possibilities which we could discuss here– It has shown surprisingly good sense of hearing in past sightings too. While vision may not be a favored sense for hunting and maneuvering, I don’t think it’s blind.

Again, witnesses have seen its eyes in past sightings.
