In the section describing the animal as a possible plesiosaur, there is the following passage:
Would I be justified in deleting this? It's embarrassingly desparate speculation, cited to a source I can't access, and seems intended to give WP:FALSEBALANCE. And even if it accurately summarizes the source, it's self-contradicting (how can something evolve from a plesiosaur by convergent evolution...to become more plesiosaur-like?). I honestly think the entire "exotic large animal" section is heavy on quasi-scientific speculation and poor sourcing and could be cut, but at the very least could we delete the passage above?

File:Hoaxed photo of the Loch Ness monster.jpg The introductory picture, copied here, is of low quality (out of focus), and quite old (1934!). A better quality and more recent photograph should be provided. Opinions? 2A00:23C6:54D3:DA01:A02F:5E5C:EE34:8258 ( talk) 14:35, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Anyway, does anyone know where I can find a copy of the full original photo? I believe I know how to fix this if I have the photo.
