Is there really something called a mermaid? Before the answer, watch the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY5O8_fdz8I

There are, but we will never see them.

Centuries ago very lonely/horny sailors having had a rum or two, may have imagined that Manitees, Dugongs, Sea Cows, and similar animals reminded them of a woman somehow. Then artists created their own attractive versions for all to see. Possibly originating on a ships bow figurehead - pretty lady up front for luck, but the boat, the body, is a fish. They probably were never real, as in the art, or in any sense; whichever version, it would be bestiality, let alone kissing a fish head. See the Futurama episode when Fry runs away from his new mermaid fiance, when he finds out how fish fertilise their eggs - no sex.

Mermaids are just characters in stories, of course. But in a world saturated with mermaid mythology, people sometimes think they see them in real life. When Christopher Columbus set out to sea in 1492, he had a mermaid sighting of his own; little did he know that this encounter was actually the first written record of manatees in North America. It might seem strange to confuse a slow-moving, blubbery sea cow with a beautiful, fish-tailed maiden. Yet it’s a common enough mistake that the scientific name for manatees and dugongs is Sirenia, a name reminiscent of mythical mermaids. Even today there are false mermaid sightings. After a fake documentary special on mermaids aired on Animal Planet in 2013, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was flooded with calls from people asking for the truth about mermaids. (The truth is that mermaids are entirely fictional.) http://ocean.si.edu/ocean-news/mermaids-manatees-myth-and-reality Simply a case of mistaken identity.

Yes, it's a mystery.

There are, but we will never see them. It might really exist, but in another dimension.

But we have it in the animals that actually exist to close the door of the search.

It is not created for humans But there may be a mention of her from the same platoon.

There is now conclusive evidence that UFO's exist. There are creatures out there that very few of us have seen. There are also USO's, Unidentified Submerged Objects in our oceans so I think those so-called mermaids are aliens who have been on Earth for a very long time.

it is still a mystery . the animal planet video could be real then again who knows . of course the military would debunk it . otherwise they would have to admit the truth about the sonar they used to beach the whales . as soon as i saw the video i knew they would come out and hire someone to debunk it . even if you had your own video and put it up on youtube , i guarantee they would say it is a fake . there is no such thing as the TRUTH nowadays .

There are, but we will never see them. It might really exist, but in another dimension. Actually, it was belived that the first written books on the Land of Mu or what The east and west call, Atlantis, was a type of sea people...Some said they were hybrid looking sea humanoid. In earlier versions of the story of The Garden of Eden, it is said the serpent was not a serpent or snake, but a being that came out of the sea, to teach early man...technology, farming and medicine.. Good post by the way...Thanks.
