This video aired on Animal Planet a few weeks ago. It shows two tourists filming what they thought was a seal on rocks in Israel, then they zoom in. It gets scary when the creature turns and sees its being filmed. Is that a Mermaid or a misconception of an animal? Do Mermaids really exist? This is the closest thing I have seen to a real one. Watch and tell us what you think. Then watch Animal Planet analysis of the video after the cut...

Hehehehe....Scary!!
AT YOUR AGE AND EXPOSURE... YOU CANT TELL THAT THIS IS FAKE? YOU MUST BE UNDERESTIMATING THE MINDS OF YOUR READERS.
Yemoja!
Linda is real ooooo I just watch the video now
Wow, looks like a real mermaid with the fish like tail.
Where is d vidoe linda?
quite bizzare.
Do mermaids really exist?
if u ask me na who I go ask?
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Na wa oh! Wetin man no go see
This is so creepy
The Video is Fake....
No splash
No shadow
if you look closer you can totally see the fade out effect
also the 3d model had 'shadow'
it's easy to sell the effect because it's a low quality video...
and the acting was also bad
Linda, you are funny! What is shocking about this video? It is a freaking seal/sea lion. I saw it clearly, and I know much about wild animals to categorically tell you that there's nothing like mermaids in existence.
Linda d video is not clear jor,can't say its a marmaid for sure!
Am speechless.
This is so real, we betta start holding our video camera everywhere , most especially , wen we go to elegushi, on sunday nite's
i keep watching it over and over again..i still dont believe
we keep watching it over and over again... i believe they exist
Instead of bringing us this, linda you need to research and do a post on the way black africans/nigerians are treated in israel. You would hate israel with a passion. Linda promise me you would do a post soon on racism against black africans/nigerians in israel. I shed tears of anger/sadness when i watched internet videos of how blacks are treated in israel. No wonder nigerian women and men are bleaching their skin at an alarming rate. So much hatred against the black skin in israel. Please someone tell me whats wrong in being black? Please linda post my comment.
The good nigerian.
OMG!!!!!!
After seeing dis film, I dnt evn knw wat to say to pple n to ma veri slf..hate to believe it, bt is just d fact...dey really exist! OMG at large!

What d heck waz dat?????????????
Before the end-times brigade comes up with their ignorance, do some research. Linda, sometimes do some research. That video is a load of rubbish, the earth is 70% sea and stands to reason that many aquatic animals have yet to be identified.
Any google search of the Animal Planet mermaid documentary will easily tell you that it was a fake documentary for entertainment, that the people were actors and a lot of scientists and marine biologist are upset that a supposedly "scientific" channel would air unsubstantiated and made-up stories as fact.
Sorry Linda, but this is FAKE. Why would the camera man turn his camera to face his friend in anticipation of a reaction. It sounds so rehearsed.
i dont wanna believe this.
NO FUCKING WAYYYYY!!! Like that looks soooooo REALLLL!!! Damnnnn!! "mami-water" talks are for real o!
Odikwa egwu oooooooo
Yeepa!!! Iyemoja!!! I believe it does exist!
TENYHOLA
o my gush dis shit is crazy and creedy this is looks so real jizzzzz
ITS A MERMAID FOR REAL
I don't care if I am seen as superstitious. Mermaids exists. I view them as part of the fallen angels during the war in Heaven.They are not part of our world so they stay out unless those of them that prefer to be worshipped by pagans like you witness in parts of Africa.
Nawa oh, there is nothing u won't see in this world.
wow this looks so real i guess man maids ar real wow
Oh wow!!
Plus their lines are so rehearsed. AWFUL ACTING
It was a mermaid with long, black hair, there's nothing new on earth again, Mama B!
OMG!!! Wooh! Dis rili scary,anyway*mami water power powerless power ( ˘˘̯)* singing out loud
Its been exposed as a hoax linda!
Suprised,saw a seal wif fish tail in the real video buh its looking like a mermaid wif the analysis tho!
its a,hoax,jare...its fake
dats a fish jor hisss
Wonders shall really never end.
Oluwatobiloba indeed
Is it real or fake? This link should help answer the question:
http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2013/05/mermaids_aren_t_real_animal_planet_s_fake_documentaries_misrepresent_ocean.html
Hian! Na wa o! You guys should watch the second video to see it well. The creature actually has limbs because it actually climbed on the rock. Many many tins!
Can this be true?
Why call it a "she"?
Yah dats a real mermaid notin scary aboout it mermaid do exist dia re many prove already I hv a documentry done on animal planet about mermaid and so many evidence were presented
OMG
Mammy water no ni...abi?
Not really clear,bt it cud also be passed fr a large sea creature....my thots.
OMG.Satan @ work.This is not a creation of God.
Weird ! It looked like a fish @ first but den again dt long fish tail? Hnmmmmmm!
A real mermaid would not have allowed herslf appear on that camera.
If the word Mermaid exists, why are we surprised to find a creature that fits its description?
At least this one is not half human.
Oh please..
Mermaids do not exist..
Dats just a specie of fish..
Billie jean
Why call it a "she"?
omg!!!!!!!!!! that is definitely a mermaid!!!! zoom it in like 400% and you can see its/her face clearly when it/she turned back to look at the filmers!!!! omg!!!! now i'm starting to believe in aliens, vampires and werewolves. super creepy
This is scary.
That's ufo now not animal planet. Abi animal planet has a program called ufo? Either way its possible that mermaids exist I guess. Maybe its d video quality but d creature still looks fishy 2 me. Not enough human chateristics. Like a seal with a tail.
oyinbo people sef!!!how una go allow these people job una like this. Na film trick. Una neva see Hellboy?
WOW!!
wow!!!! Thats all i can say.linda pls post my comment o.youve never posted my comment before. or else -_^
Linda, this video is a hoax. Animal planet came out later to say it was all a hoax for their show. It was on the news here in the UK! It is not real!!!,
Though its not clearly shown, cos its far from the camera. I saw it though. It looks like that create... Mermaid
This is not real!! CNN confirmed it.
Didn't get a clear view of that and it looks like a fish in my own opinion so why raise false alarm
Woow
commom linda, u dont really think this is real, do you? From the camera work to the acting, just a bunch of garbage..
scarry in it?wow! yemoja
You can't always get it right Linda..the world knows this video is fake..biko next...
linda,the world beneath is as big as the world in d middle and the world above. Read psalm 104 esp verse 26,lets not think of the creation as only on land and in the air,and try visiting whispering palms in badagry cos you have them at your doorsteps,i did as a child and i still remember what i saw
this is creepy.....
wow!!!!freaky alright,and scary too
creeeeeeeeeppppyyyyyyyyy
There is always a truth behind every myth.
Dis world is truly comin to an end... Der are mermaids really I guess cos when I was young pple said they saw them @ ikpoba river...lol. They said o
The second video reveals it clearly, its well shown its it ooo... Jesus Christ... So dis tin is real...Iyemeja (Mammywater)
Blood of Jesus even in Israel.Dis video is creepy ewwww *goose bumps*
Na wa is that for real, first to comment yaaaaay
Lin,nw dis is scary .
I just had chills watching this! Goosh. i think it is REAL!
Very creepy indeed, though I still don't believe this video or even that mermaid exist. Because if they actually do exist, then Vampires, Werwolves, Hobbits, Fairies, Crakans, Unicorns, and the likes do exist. Creepiest supposedly real life video I ever saw.
Linda naa
Hmmmmn! The legends are true innit? Well, for sure, there is the natural world, so of course the strange world exists too, a closer look would have made it better to judge this more precisely though, but still, its still very strange!
0:40 the "creature" fades into the water, there is no splash from or ripples in the water. If it was real there would be a splash, not a fade. This fade is an effect made in adobe after effects. Plus, the conversation is obviously rehearsed and why would the camera man take the camera off of the creature to film his friends reactions. If he truly thought it was a creature he wouldn't take the camera off it for a second. Peace.
ANOTHER FAKE ACTING, NO SPLASH WHEN IT JUMPED INTO THE WATER
goose pimples meehn!! kai!!
Wow! this is disturbing.
so many things we don't know
Jesus... what d hell cld dat b?
person Wife...lolsss
Blood of Jesus! that shit is for real nd its kinda ugly nd scary. am sure i would have fainted if i was there.
its a hoax ooo
This is so fake and the second video isn't from Animal Planet.
goose pimples meehn!! kai!!
Linda, it's all fake.....there was an interview with the creators of the episode for animal planet on fox tv last week and they admitted that it was all fake.....the documentary broke plenty records and was some hours long but at the end of the documentary, they said it was all fiction.....I guess everybody wanted it to be real so bad and tuned in
Jeez my heart is beating just watching this. But yeah I'm not really sure it's a mermaid but really that was the scariest shit I've ever seen
Naijadeltapikin... Mermaid ko human maid ni story abegggg there ÈŠ̊§ nothing â„“i̶̲̥̅ke̶̲̥̅ that joorrr
Naijadeltapikin... Mermaid ko human maid ni story abegggg there ÈŠ̊§ nothing â„“i̶̲̥̅ke̶̲̥̅ that joorrr
Ɣξα̅ for real dis is a mermaid of cos D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ ª̳͡Rε̲̣̣̣ mermaid just has Tђξ devil dos exist D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ ª̳͡Rε̲̣̣̣ lesser gods.
na normal fish be dat....just one eja nla.
the video is as fake by that fools acting.. the mermaid swam away on her back... i can do better graphics than that
OMG! I believe mermaids are real because I have heard lots of stories but seeing this is soo creepy....wow
its looks real God is wonderful
the image was kinda blurry,but it looks more like a mermaid than a seal. it could be a mermaid for real.
I pity people who call themselves christians and do not believe in anything spiritual. How can u call yourself a christian, go to church and do not believe in the spiritual. I no wetin my eye don see wey be say "science cannot explain it" but money and the sweet things of life has made a lot of christians blind to the things of the spirit. This mummy water small compared to what I have seen. May God save us.
Mermaids arnt real and if they are there's no evidence yet. The programme of animal planet is a fake and I know this cos after it aired (both times) there was a disclaimer
oh boy this na confirm yemoja ooo
why the guy no dive catch am now
wonders shall never end
na wah o,but where is the hair and besides we have always been made to believe they are beautiful women.They may exist cos God created the undersea creatures too but they are all demons
Where is the analysis?
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant believe this.
Im the first to comment :-)
Scary!!!... #RunsAway
Wonders! Why didn't they kill it n eat? Loool..
If it is real....then i am disappointed. I thought mermaids were beautiful than all the pearls.
Biko Linda, this is fake....when you see mammy water, you will know. Look at Eku Edewor, Omowunmi Akinifesi, that Ikechukwu ex-gf and the likes! We know mammy water when we see them!
Naija una too much, coffee wey i dey drink hia comot my nose as i see dis
Mermaid are one of d creatures. It's real.
D word is mermaid my dear, not man maid
am not saying if i believe or not but i won't base my judgement on wht CNN says, cos cnn cover stories alot, may al jazera will do
Lets watch, this video would no longer be available in a couple of hours. Trust the US Govt to cover this up.
This might be fake but they do exist.... This modern day tushness is making people doubt the spiritual realm exists... I have seen worse Linda....
So true dear, even was I was a child I visted whispering palms n I saw also but now it doesn't cum out again cos dey have been locked down inside d water
True talk!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2333515/Mermaid-hoax-How-mockumentary-gave-Animal-Planet-biggest-audience-EVER.html
Some of you have gone to youtube and gaan copy and paste other peoples comment. However, for those saying it's fake, the tales of mermaids have gone on long before your fore fathers fore fathers. I don't believe people at that time where imaginative enough to come up with such stories of mermaids and mermen. This is how people didn't believe in witchcraft back in the day.
Did you know that animal plant has come out to say the "documentary" wasn't even real? The people they interviewed were actors. All the stuff they said about the govt taking the evidence of mermaid existence are all lies. So called video evidence were all lies. There was a disclamier at the end of the so called "documentary". Try google it
wow...! Unbelievable!
Lol that was a mermaid guys (as we call it) did anyone noticed how she dived into the water. also the video isn't fake...I make films music videos, therefore worked with countless effects!. most myth are made from lost history. long ago people belived GIANTS never walked this earth...but low and behold they did...and in countless numbers too! the mermaid was far from harms range. y d fuck did she run? why was she sitting on a rock? seals or sea lions don't fuck with fresh water or in that sort of habitat.
So a simple Google search will reveal that this documentary is a very fun, elaborate work of FICTION; that means IT'S NOT REAL. I won't venture to call it a hoax, as it is intended for entertainment purposes ONLY, and NOT based on FACTS or REALITY!!!
I swear my tot's exactly Linda must think her readers r dumb cause I knw she can't fall 4 dis. Prolly lack of news.
Watching this home alone is really really scary!!! OMG still cant believe...
GBAM!!!! ppl falling 4 dis sha don't want to say they r dumb but den again what r dey
Just watched the video now and I'll say it's a mermaid for real......actually thought it was a seal until I got to watch it twice. The long hair falling down the waist, the white body/hand like that of human and a much long tail sums it up.
I swear my tot's exactly Linda must think her readers r dumb cause I knw she can't fall 4 dis. Prolly lack of news.
loool @chikaka Yemoja... rotfl. Funniest thing I've read in a while!
Anybody that believes this I'm sorry to say - you have the IQ equivalent of ewu
That's definitely a mermaid... The world is deeper,much more complex than we take it to be... Uwa di omimi, aye lee
watch the CNN report. They got Animal Planet and NOAA to admit it was fake and fictional.
Animal planet even had a disclaimer at the end of the show.
lol....commom, thats a seal
I believe mermaids exist... I saw a videoclip recently about mermaids... This wasn't fake,it was real enough... and it was in the sea they found it,in south africa
I also believe they exist... Seriously!!!
dnt be in denial dat video was real...nd if u think mermaids r nt real,go check youtube...dey r amazing creatures in d world..embrace it...
It looks real cos it was as if she saw them and immediately
turned and jumped into the sea......
Thank you jor! See how it's easy to deceive people! If i was the film maker i would charge money to show the video, and guess what? I would be a millionaire!
omg if i see dis i swear ama faint fear no go let me bring out my phone 2 video sef
Mermaids don't exist oo.. pleass linda.. Ur freaking me out..
Ask me...
fallacy!
Lolz. ¶ don't know why people like being skeptical. Mermaids exists pls. If they dnt exist then angels,demons, lucifer,God, etc are all fiction abi? -ASTRO
Mermaid are real!
Sir/lady knw it all,how is dis fake to u? Its pple like u wit their myopic mindset dat never believe that their is more to d world dan wot we r seeing. Grow up man!
Na lie abeg i don't believe this at all. If it was real, the person recording it would not have taken the camera off the rock to shoot his friends reaction, his lens would have been glued to the rock. Besides that creature can be easily made with adobe I know because i work with adobe software. I'm not saying that mermaids are not real, but this video is just as fake as a #5000 note.
i wonder why some primitive people just keep saying this is fake,wake up from your slumber alot of things worst than this exist. this is the end time durrr??? draw near to God
primitive people, i can't believe some peeps are still saying this is fake, we are in the end time, move closer to God, this is not only real, this is really really real. durggg??????
that's a mermaid. a seal won't scurry away like that at the sight of a camera, it doesn't have a thin lower body, neither does it have "one" large fin like that.
This is a fish that can breath outside water
Na u get sense pass for here
...Why did he turn his camera to face his friend??? That's the mistake they made
Baby face
**PLEASE READ** 0:40 the "creature" fades into the water, there is no splash from or ripples in the water. If it was real there would be a splash, not a fade. This fade is an effect made in adobe after effects. Plus, the conversation is obviously rehearsed and why would the camera man take the camera off of the creature to film his friends reactions. If he truly thought it was a creature he wouldn't take the camera off it for a second. Peace.
Help me tell am o
LMFAO
i no see aytin...meanwhile i hear say tonto don get belle for www.nairatunes.blog.com

Lol, Ariel just got grounded again for sneakin out. Or is Ariel bein framed?
this is real no joke... omg..
this is real no joke... omg..
First of all you are kind of late on posting this video, it is a hoax to get viewers to watch the show Mermaids. ITS NOT REAL, the producers themseleves said the video is fake... Get your facts straight.
Since that's from animal planet, i think i can categorically state that it's part of their latest documentary trying to prove or disprove the existence of mermaids. They made a full feature documentary that was filmed using supposed fish humanoids.
For now, i dont think we have enough proof yet for the actiual existence of mermaids. For more odd and weird stories, you can check out My Blog of Odd and Funny Stories
As someone on youtube commented: "0:40 the "creature" fades into the water, there is no splash from or ripples in the water. If it was real there would be a splash, not a fade.

are 9ja people really this stupid or they are just pretending to believe for attention
Avn seen too many mermaids......in my dream#i can categorically tell u dis is a manmaid mermaid#
I remember many stories of girls turning to snakes!no video and then finally one came with a snake wearing Brazilian hair!lol if no b the oyinbo and ocean we for say an warri hotel or Lagos bar beach!
Marine powers exist!
ITS SO REEEEEEAAAAAAAAL!!!!
WOW!!!
This is worthy only to be on PM news and to be told by Kolade Alabi,the iririaye master. As for me, I suddenly want to chop fish pepper soup with correct African chilli, the main ingredients- the very head of that stupid creature in this video- if you believe this video, you believe anything and you r the reason nollywood is the way it is. I shall. Travel to Kirya tomorrow, I need to go a fishing men!

I suddenly feel like eating correct fish pepper soup with African chili; the main ingredient?- The very head of that fake yemoja in this video. If u believe this, u believe anything and u're d reason nollywood is still as it is. Abeg Linda,which way is it to Kirya? I need to go a fishing
Mermaids still exist. We used to /still have one in Nigeria. It in the Osun Shrine. The goddess of osun is a mermaid. She stopped coming out four years ago because people took her pictures during the festival and also because the white woman who was really the first person to worship her died. You can google it if you don't believe me.
Linda that was a clear hoax. Watched the full documentary on animal planet as well. They nvr said it was real. That's a clear hoax.
My sentiments exactly, stay in your country! Don't rub and then complain of how you are being treated in another man's land.
didn't look to me like a mermaid. I spotted a snout.
I believe it is real,wen we read revelation vry well u no dat is all over d place even close to u all.God bless
Linda............. The show is not real....... The producer was interviewed.
You be ogbanje? Why u dey see mermaid for dream?!
Ok, I think there is some serious ignorance in saying that mermaids are evil creatures(assuming they exist)
I believe God created ALL creatures I.e land, air and sea creatures. We don't know anything about the majority of sea life and it possible that the creature so often described as a mermaid is an undiscovered species that might have been spotted from time to time, but with no real data to back up and confirm what people believed they saw. so all those jumping to conclusion that mermaids are of the devil are giving the devil power of creation over God.
I think she is pretty...
you must really be daft to call that a mermaid.!
first i dnt believe in mermaids, and secondly it looked acted, why does d guy behind d camera pan to view d oda guy's face whenever he talks. its staged.
End time tinz...
the video isnt dat clear buh it looks kinda real to me sha
the video isnt dat clear buh it looks kinda real to me sha
Wow! This is scary you know! God help us o. The end is near
well for those who are saying it's fake, so you believe in 9ja witchcraft and not this? do you know how big this galaxy is? and earth is just a speck in it, and you really think we are the only beings in the galaxy? i am a christian, and being so i believe in God, we have not seen him but we know he exist, so it is possible for other entities to also exist, my own be say let sleeping dogs lie, don't go looking for trouble cause you will surely find it

Sorry if you are scared admitting to your ignorance, well to me it worse than stupidity, learn to keep an open mind and see with the eyes of a stranger, also walk in his or her foot steps, and you will see and learn things you never knew.
Cmon Linda...even CNN confirmed that the producers came out to say this was a fake documentary....C'mon linda...lol
im really scared...mehn dis is fukin real
It is real......there is a current study going on about this . And some were found after a deadly hurricane happened . But things like this are always kept on the low not to scare the public........they are real.
