This is the latest in the string of Scott Mardis' guest blogs done voluntarily and submitted to this blog. I am not necessarily endorsing his conclusions but giving him a platform to voice his opinions. I do not necessarily endorse any of the objects depicted below as representing either a form of recently surviving Plesiosaur or the Loch Ness Monster, although Scott's "carcass" photos do look more like a Plesiosaur than a seal to me. Since Dick Raynor is mentioned by name he shall be allowed to make a statement if he likes, but he must not direct his criticisms toward me the blog owner for printing this nor yet criticise anything other than Scott Mardis' statement made here. (Disclaimer)
Scott Mardis' statement is as follows, and he supports this statement by the attached images.
Dick Raynor tried to explain away the 2001 Nessie "carcass" as simply a dead grey or harbor seal, both of which are known to occasionally enter Loch Ness. This will not do, as the following photos demonstrate (see attachments).
