Mermaids: Are They Real?

Reports of aquatic humanoids, or mermaids, living in our oceans have existed for thousands of years. Japanese legends, greek mythology, and ancient folklore all contain tales of half-fish, half-human hybrids. More recently, Animal Planet released a series called, "Mermaids: A Body Found". This film which was described by Animal Planet as Science Fiction based on some real events and scientific theory, claimed that mermaids are real and that scientists from the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were concealing the truth about the existence of mermaids. A statement from NOAA simply says that 'no real evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found'. Can we believe the hundreds of sightings that have been reported? Or are these more likely misidentified manatees or other sea creatures as NOAA would have us believe? Given what we know about the unexplored ocean depths, is it possible that these mysterious creatures do, in fact, exist.
