Are mermaids real?

In this article, they say that Animal Planet recently attempted to gain more insight to whether mermaids exit or not. They aired its latest documentary special, "Mermaid: The Body Found", on Sunday as part of its Monster Week series and is strictly fictional account based on a scant facts. While the people at Animal Planet may have stretched the truth a bit on the one, the video " Mermaids: The Body Found" uses CGI images to give its viewers a preview of what a mermaid might look like. These mermaids do not resemble anything close to the Disney mermaid on the movie, "The Little Mermaid". It also informs on how mermaids reproduce. Two scientists go on to show the details of a supposed secret government investigation that claims to have proof of mermaid existence. They use clues such as a picture of a 'mermaid' taken by two boys with a camera phone in Washington State. They also found remains inside a shark in South Africa that reconstructed a mermaid. The result is not quite as attractive as the mythical creature depicted in Disney movies and in cartoons. The Animal Planet show proposes that a specific branch of our human ancestors at one point actually began living in the open sea. 'Mermaids' tried to give their claim some credibility by mentioning something known as "the Aquatic Ape Theory," which suggests that human evolution was influenced by a shore-dwelling phase. The Animal Planet show proposes that a specific branch of our human ancestors at one point actually began living in the open sea. Different cultural references over the years, the film's narrator asserts, "The seafaring Greeks described them as did the Vikings, as did the Chinese during their greatest period of maritime exploration. They are recorded in medieval manuscripts, and even into the 19th century. While most of the show is quite unbelievable, the most substantial evidence used in the documentary is said to be the photo taken from the Washington State boys, which contains images never seen before of a supposed mermaid washed up on the beach. The creature was reported alive. At first, nobody thought it was a mermaid, because it had lacked the long beautiful hair, flawless skin, and the sparkly lower torso.
