Sure does look like 3 seals.
I was going to say otter for the front one. Being chased by a couple of larger mammals.
Some people have gone a little barmy looking for Nessie...or worse:

I’m guessing that if the photographer offered up his 87 previous photos that would answer the question to this particular shot.
The splashes in front of the second two “humps” is suspicious. Would a snake-like animal like “Nessie” cause a splash as each hump enters the water?
It empties through the River Ness into Moray Firth, which is an arm of the North Sea. Appears to be about 10 km, more or less from the Loch to the ocean.
No.
But it would make a wake as it breaches, just as seen here. Only a "Nessie" would swim like that...
Supposedly Nesse is a giant eel from Indonesia. Reproduces asexually and Can not cope with sonar. Sonar causes it to swim away and hide. It comes near to the shore to eat cats and small dogs and ducks and geese near the shore line. Allegedly the locals know about the giant eel. The only problem with this story is that there would be thousands of such eels if nature were taking its natural path and not just one.
As long as it doesn’t get to seven, cool.
Lake Baikal in Siberia has its own species of seal, but I think that is somewhat unique.
Anaconda out of its element. Somebody’s “pet snake” that grew too big to handle, and was released into the “wrong” waters.
You know what. I think you’re right. That one on the left really does look more like a seal.
And yes, there are seals in Loch Ness.
The tourist business at Lock Ness depends on believing this hoax.
Those are Seals.
Are those 2 lakes, Baikal & Loch Ness at about the same latitude?
That’s the one, asked me for three fiddy, I said, no loch ness monster you can’t have three fiddy.
Beat me to it. GMTA!
Vastly different lakes in a way. Baikal is a long ways away from any ocean. The seals must have come from a time when there was some kind of Ice-Age related connection to oceans. The Caspian Sea also has seals, but that has a clearer connection to the Tethys Sea millions of years ago.

LOL! My husband likes that movie.
(’Lake Loch’ Ness is redundant...:-)
