Realistic sea humanoids
+0

bucking the trend of mermaids I've decided to take a different approach with my mermaids. A long time ago a group of Australopithecus diverged from us taking to the sea. some characteristics of these pseudo-mermaids" are:
- are 149.3cm (4.9ft) tall
- are a grayish color
- have a thick layer of blubber
- have human level intelligence
- have webbed hands and feet
- have some type of echolocation but can communicate like humans (optional)
- are omnivorous (but lean more to the carnivorous side)
- have slit like noses (lacking a sense of smell)
- thighs have started to become fused
- can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes (but still need to resurface for air)
Given these characteristics could such a hominid realistically exist?
NOTE: magic does not exist in my story
