2. Mermaids
A mermaid is a mythical creature, said to have the head and body of a woman, and the tail of a fish. Mermaids live under the sea, and can communicate with the sea creatures. There has been many stories of mermaids, and movies like The Little Mermaid, Aquamarine and H20 Just add water.

3. Mermen
Not all Mer-people are females, (which are more known as mermaids,) there are mermen too. Mermen are said to have a head and body of a man, and the tail of a fish, just like the mermaids. One of the many Greek Gods is a merman. Neptune, the god of water, has the head and body of a man, and the tail of a fish, just like any other merman.

4. Real Mermaids
There has been a few sightings of real mermaids. There are two of my favourites, a merman found after a tsunami, and another mermaid found by a fisherman. The merman from the tsunami has been put in a museum, but the mermaid has had some thoughts that it was not real.
