Mermaids

Have you ever wondered, why are there cave paintings and stories about beings that resemble a lot to humans but have tails like the ones of fish instead of feet, and live in the ocean. A discussion of this topic may lead to questions about the possibility of what we think to be a myth, might be real. It also may lead to questions because it might make us realize we are not the only creatures that do not act only by instinct, but also by reason which make it controversial. Why do dolphins like to play with us and obey us? My answer is simple, mermaids exist. I know many people may disagree with this, or others will try to deny it because of the simple fact that we are unique, therefore no other creature can resemble to us and create handmade weapons or have a more complex language than any other animal of the sea. There is scientific evidence that can support the theory that states that mermaids do exist. The United States government forbade the reproduction of this video and in Colombia it was only presented once. Nevertheless, it is on YouTube. The documentary showed a group of scientists that were in charge of the investigation of whale strandings. These scientists also discovered sounds that came from the sea during the use of sonars. Experiments with these sonars are forbidden because it can damage internal organs of animals and cause strandings. The sounds of these creatures was different from any other known animal, and it was much more sophisticated than any language. They called the creature “The Bloop”. In the documentary, they show that there are theories that state that mermaids were apes like us who them became hominids that were stuck between rocks and could not return to the land so they learned to live in the sea. There are many species that have been descendant from animals that live in land; therefore, apes themselves could have also evolved into animal of thinking and breathing for a long period underwater, and

    We are all sharks underneath the skin, to put it more precisely we are all modified sharks, said fossil expert Neil Shubin. As Shubin makes it clear, evolution does not proceed in mighty anatomical jumps but to the process of gradual changes, transforming a gene, cell, or bone for a new purpose. In this way new species are eventually created. Albeit, a new species that still carries traces of it's evolutionary predecessors, an inner connection between fish and humans. You can see these biological stigmata today, says Shubin. Our hands resemble fossil fins, our heads are organized like those of long extinct jawless fish, and major parts of our genomes still function like those of worms and bacteria. Hypothetically we are all "shark siblings".…

    Introduction: Every species on this earth has the ability to sense and to survive; and in their own unique way, they communicate with the world around them. Mammals, overall, are able to communicate using vocal signals, body gestures, and chemical signals; more precisely, within the great depths of the seas, there are mammals that are able to use other ways to communicate such as sonar and song. Mammals such as the Orca, Bottle-Nosed Dolphins as well as many other species of dolphins, and different types of Whales are able to use their voices under water to detect and “speak” to other conspecifics. This range can reach distances over miles and miles away, and can also be influenced by the distance at which these different species are from…

    Tales of the mythical and magical mermaid have been dismissed as rumors; however, these majestical creatures do exist. Cameras have caught photos and even videos of these creatures stranded on beaches and swimming dignified through the ocean. You may argue that these images are fabricated but there are scientist who dedicate their lives and can speak surely about the existence of mermaids. Scientist who are skilled in the use of sonar. Scientists who state that mermaids are seismically sensitive. Because mermaids use sonar, they travel with whales which leads to the reason mermaid sightings are intertwined with numerous beached whales. Now you can say that mermaids don’t exist because people haven’t really seen one, but there are marine animals that are being discovered lately that have gone unnoticed for centuries due to their elusiveness.

    In the passage, "What to do about Underwater Noise," it talked about the harm that the Underwater Noise does to them and how they communicated with each other. These Underwater Noise objects as it says in the passage have caused the whales to lose their ability to hear and this is a huge problem for them. The whales communicate in the water by making these where type of hums to alert each other of harm or just talking to each other. This is why it's difficult if they lose their hearing because they wont be able to hear the calls and see if danger is near. It also talked about if the creator of the underwater noise should stop doing this.In my opinion I believe they should stop this process, because it harms these poor animals and they…
