Mermaids are said to have abilities like destroying ships and luring sailors to their deaths. Some claim to have footage of a mermaid spotted off the coast of Israel. The organs of mermaids are similar to humans except for their tails. Mermaids live with dolphin families and hunt fish together. Dolphins and humans share similarities in communication, family structure, emotions, and brains. The U.S. Navy has recorded unidentified deep sea

they consider their family.
