Saw this a year ago. Animal Planet producers are dicks for allowing this. http://www.snopes.com/photos/supernatural/mermaids.asp

I saw it a couple months ago. Pretty stoked until I read the fine print at the end of it. I was like OH NO WAY NOAA WOULD NEVER LIE!! pshh, ruined my damn week...
I saw this new one...and saw the old one from last year too. The old one seemed more legit...this time it might as well be a movie. I understand that it is fun to let the imagination run wild but this just goes a bit far with the presentation and pretending as if this is all very serious and very real. I miss all the documentaries on cheetahs, giraffes, and stuff...Or that one special "Planet Earth." now that was amazing. This just is one huge wtf.
Discovery Channel has that new series "North America," thou it's not quite as good as Planet Earth. Still has some amazing shots.
