MERMAIDS captured the imagination of the public, even we are still curious if how do they looks like. The exact nature of these underwater creature has varied pretty wildly over the years.Even they are fantastically fiction, there are still places where evidence and actual sightings of the real existence of mermaids.
Here are the samples and evidence that might support the existence of mermaid.
- FEEJEE MERMAID AT THE NATURE MUSEUM
Grafton, Vermont
This classic feejee mermaid was preserved in Vermont’s quaint Nature Museum . This ugly beast bears seems like a Barnum-esque hybrid from the sickly fish tail to the desiccated body, cobbled together from unknown animal parts. Although the likely culprit is some type of small monkey.
2..JEJU MERMAIDS
Jeju-si, South Korea
Not like to the other creatures, these South Korean “mermaids” are actually a real human women who come to be known as impressive fisherpeople.The traditional South Korean gender roles, the “Haenyo” of Jeju-Si island are responsible for the community’s fishing duties, earning their fantastical nicknames thanks to the practice of free-diving for their catches. Unfortunately the traditional practice is nearing extinction due to the younger generation increasingly leaving the island to work in the bigger cities. This of course has left only elderly fisherwomen to continue on as the Jeju Mermaids, although their age makes them only the more incredible.
- BANFF MERMAN
Banff, Canada
The only merMAN on the list, butit was difficult to tell by looking at him. This feejee-mermaid-type chimera, preserved in a Canadian shop was said to either have been acquired or actually created by the store’s original proprietor, Norman Luxton.
- Fiji Mermaid mummy
Barnum's American Museum
Scientists have found what seems to be mermaid mummies in Fiji .
Scientists also found a another skeleton in Haiti. For every skeleton found in the world, there is a possibility that mermaids “maybe mermen” do exist. About seven have been found.
- TENSHOU-KYOUSHA SHRINE
Fujinomiya, Japan
It may be the oldest mermaid on this list. There are legends in this hideous little goblin found in Japan’s Tenshou-Kyousha Shrine are to be believed. This creature is 1,400-years-old and once appeared as legendary to a local prince claiming to have once been a regular fisherman who was cursed after fishing in protected waters. The mermaid is said to have asked the prince to build the shrine as a reminder of his mistake, displaying the cursed corpse for all to see. However this is more likely a taxidermy abomination.
- THE LITTLE MERMAID
Copenhagen, Denmark
The famous Copenhagen statue was inspired by the Hans Christian Anderson tale of a mermaid who fell in love with the surface world. A beautiful young girl on top and a massive fish on the bottom.
This is just a collection of evidence that mermaids are existing. Until now, they were considered as fiction.
