There is no real evidence for the Loch Ness Monster

[edhopper]

all the supposed eye witness sightings can be explained with more prosaic answers.
There is also much counter evidence that no large unknown animal lives there (especially any surviving aquatic dinosaur).
Young age of the Loch. Number of animals needed for a continuing group over time, no physical evidence, etc...
So the great probability is no creature exists.

Or as believers would say it's 50/50.

1. The Lock Ness Monster is real in the Harry Potter world.

"Scotland is one of the most frequent breakers of Clause 73 (this is the clause that ensures the secrecy of magical creatures) of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy of any nation. This is mostly due to the world's largest kelpie residing in Loch Ness."

The Loch Ness Monster, as it is popularly known, is the world's largest Kelpie. Its favourite shape is that of a Sea serpent. Wizard observers from the International Confederation of Wizards discovered it was a Kelpie when they observed it changing into an otter on the approach of a team of Muggle investigators, then back into a Sea Serpent. The Office of Misinformation has worked diligently, convincing the Muggles that all photographic evidence of "Nessie" is actually fake.

for Harry Potter and Dr. Doolittle.

2. What? It's sitting in the White House right now.

3. No real evidence for the actual monster...

But he has been financially beneficial for the Loch Ness community. Who's to say what existence is?

[edhopper]

5. Fiction can be

very rewarding financially.
Just look at the Vatican.

6. "She"...

...not "he"...

Just Sayin'

[SoFlaDem]

7. I stand corrected

She has been a valuable asset.

[Iggo]

14. I's to say.

It ain't so.

[Glamrock]

9. You just have to have faith that she exists.

I mean, can you prove she doesn't?

[edhopper]

10. Mostly yes,

but that won't dissuade the believers.
You know if there is any possibility, we have to accept it as likely.

[Glamrock]

11. Of course!

And might I add that I'm extremely offended by your disbelief.

[guillaumeb]

12. It is a part of the Mueller investigation.

[Voltaire2]

13. The Loch Ness monster is a metaphor

For Darwin’s Theory.

Everyone knows that.

Silly literalist.

[Pope George Ringo II]

15. You can't prove the sonar didn't find the real Nessie.

A 30ft (9m) model of the Loch Ness Monster built in 1969 for a Sherlock Holmes movie has been found almost 50 years after it sank in the loch.

The beast was created for the Billy Wilder-directed The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, starring Sir Robert Stephens and Sir Christopher Lee.

It has been seen for the first time in images captured by an underwater robot.

Loch Ness expert Adrian Shine said the shape, measurements and location pointed to the object being the prop.
