The chances of mermaids existing in the ocean are slim to none.
Scientists emphasize that judging from current scientific results, the possibility that mermaids exist in the ocean is extremely slim. As for the various sightings, humans may have mistaken the mammals in the water for mermaids. The most representative are manatees and dugongs. Because these two creatures look very similar to humans when feeding, it is extremely difficult to get this wrong. possible.
There is evidence of what the experts say, because if you want to survive in the water for a long time, it is essential to have a respiratory system adapted to survival at sea. The most striking manifestation of this. The body's respiratory system has gills. As large mammals, it took whales tens of millions of years to develop a res system.piratory capable of surviving in the sea. This way, they still have to come out of the water from time to time to breathe fresh air.
Pliny the Elder was a naturalist who described the creature "mermaid". In his immortal work "Natural History" he wrote: "As for the mermaid, also called Nielid, it is not incredible. "They are real, but their bodies are rough and covered with scales, and even the parts that look like women have scales. "There are many examples of people reporting seeing mermaids, and media reports about mermaids are even more common.

At that time, the fishermen handed it over to the police, who immediately informed the coroner for examination. The results of the examination confirmed that it was a half-human, half-fish creature. For this strange skeleton, the police asked experts to study further and enter the data into the computer to draw a mermaid shape based on the shape of the bones. Dr. Emasto from the United States who participated in this work said that based on the evidence they have, mermaids are not legendary or fictional creatures, buta creature that exists in the world.

Since the existence of strange underwater creatures such as "mermaids" has physical evidence, it is also known through so-called "absurdity" of people, "superstition", "The "myth" has currently become a subject of serious scientific research.
As for the prototype of the mermaid, it is generally accepted that itThis is the manatee.
According to legend, Columbus had heard mysterious and beautiful legends about mermaids before seeing the manatee. Due to his fascination and strong interest in mermaids, he named her "Anna" in homage to his beloved and hopeful mistress. Until later on a voyage, when sailors captured a manatee and told Columbus that this thing was the mermaid he had always wanted to see, Columbus could not believe that the beautiful and sacred " Anna" in her heart could have such an ugly face. , actually not as good as a The sows are cute. So Columbus decided to let the “beautiful” “Anna” in his mind be his dinner. That evening he ate this "Anna" and thought that the color and taste of the meat was similar to veal, and they ate grass, structure. of the body has no resemblance to fish, so we assume that it is not fish but realis calves. Since then, the manatees have been recalled. Of course, the ironic name “Anna” was quietly covered up as a family scandal.
But why do humans think manatees are mermaids? The most convincing thing is that manatees have two breasts, as big as a human fist, both located under the pectoral fins, similar to the position of human breasts. This Dagen style is probably the main reason he was named Mermaid. Some people even say that it uses its fins to hold its babies upright in the water to give them milk, with their upper bodies exposed out of the water, and its shape closely resembles that of a human being . Manatees feed, they float horizontally on the water, with their bodies slightly to the side, and never stand on the surface of the water. There is still no scientific basis to prove why people called“mermaid” manatees.
Although the legend is just a legend, it does not represent any scientific basis or practical significance, but mermaids exist subjectively. Manatees are named mermaids, but they cannot represent mermaids. The image of the mermaid has been loved and praised by people for thousands of years. Her beauty is probably even inferior to that of Venus and Mona Lisa. The mermaid has become a concept and a totem recognized by the world. It is also a beautiful spiritual gift of nature, and we should return this gift to nature in our own way. Although she has never appeared in anyone's eyes, she will always remain in our memory. Through this, she can give the world enough imagination to shape and beautify it. The charm of mermaids is therefore divine, perfect and eternal.
