Animal planet produces a number of series and documentaries with the intent to inform and inspire their viewers. The documentaries they present are often based on facts and other times they are hypothesis. The mermaid site was created from what people experienced or witnessed with regard to mermaids.
The site and especially the video footage evoked numerous responses from viewers, which was intended. The YouTube videos in particular drew in millions of views. The responses were mostly negative. The public was not convinced with the footage and called it a hoax.
Animal planet has not succeeded in convincing us that mermaids are real, but they have achieved something, and that is inspiring the the public to question what are presenting by media and to share our opinions. My personal belief is that mermaids are not real due to the lack of evidence the poor video footage which claim to be fact.
