Initial data
On January 9, 1493, Christopher Columbus sailed near the Dominican Republic and wrote in his diary about three mermaids he saw:
"They were not as beautiful as they are painted, although to some extent they have a human face."
There is a high probability that they were manatees, but is an experienced sailor really wrong with them?

On January 9th, 1493, Christopher Columbus was sailing near the Dominican Republic and wrote in his journal about 3 mermaids he saw:
“They were not as beautiful as they are painted, although to some extent they have a human appearance in the face.”
There is a good chance that these were manatees but would a skilled sailor really mistake them?

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.
According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.
