    Very interesting almost archival footage from
    a Disney travel log. No aquatic apes there.

    "Through the practice, many ama were noted to
    lose weight during the months of diving seasons."


    WHAT? They aren't FAT? How does aa explain this?

    Yes, they do have FAT, every human has fat (unlike all the other apes,
    just like all the aquatic mammals). How do you explain this?

    The Ama are sleek, trim, slender, long legged,
    very little fat, nothing like a real aquatic mammal.
