I have never seen one leap out of the water, but it would be interesting to compare the two. That beast *seemed* to be using its tail, as opposed to (say) being ejected from an underwater platform by some device, but then people don't have to do anything like that these days, do they? They just learn how to use Maya or Photoshop or whatever it is and do it that way.

Notice also that the tail is the type that could give acceleration and that the roll could be in such a way to be consitant with other jumping water creatures.

Friends,
I would like to show that sea creatures do flap and leap out of the water in the same manner as the Loch Ness monster does in the video.
Notice that the tails are the same. Is this not because it could be that that is the type of tail needed to have speed to leap out of the water?
Also notice that the shark rolls over in the same manner as the monster in the video and falls the same but the tail falls into the water differently.
The following video could upset some viewers because of that the shark eats a seal. Please do not click on this link if that could be a trigger to you.
