Shocking video: Real Mermaid seen in Kiryat Yam, Israel

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.

Watch and tell us what you think. Then watch Animal Planet analysis of the video after the cut...
