In the 1960s a Mr. F.W. Holiday wrote a book titled, "The Great Orm of Loch Ness" theorizing that Nessie was a Tullimonstrum orm. His evidence was mainly that in some of the instances when Nessie has been reported being seen on dry land, the grass where it had laid turned brown and died. This he claimed was a result of the slime a slug leaves wherever it crawls, and Nessie's slime was obviously a natural herbicide.
Mr. Holiday builds quite a convincing case but conveniently leaves out until near the end of the book that the largest fossil of a Tullimonstrum orm ever found was all of 18 inches long.
It bears mention that Mr Holiday was a notable eccentric and believed the reason high-quality photographs of the Loch Ness Monster are so rare is that Nessie is telepathic (and apparently also a connoisseur of photographic equipment) and chooses to remain hidden whenever it senses it might be exposed.

>> it was also like a slug, and kind of resembled a leech as well
So, Democrats have been around a hundred million years is what you’re saying?

Man they weren’t kidding about the eyestalks.
I guess the row of portholes on its belly is so its last meal can have a nice view.

“And very tasty.”
The problem is finding a lure that looks like a trilobite.

They could’ve called it a cattywampus. Or even a tallywacker. Tully? I’d hate to meet up with the Tully they named that freak after.

“ I didn’t see this noted in the article, but the size of the creature was 3” to 15.”
It seems vary depending on the relative proximity of females of the species

“Classification is a very artificial process. But it can be useful to understand the world.
Classification of nematodes involved the cutting the rear end off and pressing flat on a slide and looking at the patterns.”
So are you a “Lumper” or a “Splitter”?

I wish they’d try to identify the thing I saw in the New England woods last fall. Wendigo. Or The Rake from the look of it. Indeed horrifying.
