Perhaps because many long necked turtles live in fresh water.

There are no giant long-necked sea turtles, In addition, if it lived in fresh water it would not be a sea turtle. The long-necked turtles all live in tropical or subtropical climates. This is just a silly question.
What i know is that the Loch Ness Monster is a plesiosaurus, a marine sauropterygian reptile.
Ms. Samuelson's response sounds decisive, but it ignores a lot. First no dinosaur or marine reptile survived the KT Extinction (no I don't count birds, they are irrelevant to this topic. Second, we have no real evidence as to what the LNM actually looks like, which is why we get this wild speculation about giant turtles. Personally, I no longer believe that Nessie exists, but if it does it would be an unusual pinniped or cetacean.
