Because that's the only association they have to "plesiosaur". ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
David is right: unfortunately it's the image that leaps to mind for most people whenever 'plesiosaur' is mentioned, and this is despite the fact that there aren't really any accounts from Loch Ness that sound in the least bit plesiosaur-like. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
