Well, I think they exist.
But only a long time ago.
Isn't that lost empire of something sunken?
I can't remember what it was called.
But that's just my opinion.
Go see mermaids on Wikipedia.
They have almost everything there, even puttenesca recepee.
Hmm.
Oh,m about that mermaid question, I must have gotten it confused with the greek or romain or something myths.
So, right now, probably not.
I rember Atlantis city!
Yes, see, they use to be on the surface, but when they were bannished they got transformed into mermaids!
Yaay!
But, they still don't exit now days, long ago, yes.

Mermaids do no longer now, nor did they ever, exist. some clarify mermaids by using saying that sailors, after lengthy months at sea with out female companionship, talked about manatees and and concept they were 1/2 female and 1/2 fish. once you have ever considered and manatee there is not any way that one would confuse such an gruesome animal for a pleasing 1/2 female and 1/2 fish. also, sailors are suggested for telling tall memories.

Almost every culture in the world has a mermaid/merman legend, so they're not just a sailor's daydream. I also find it very hard to believe that someone could confuse a manatee with a mermaid. I don't know if they've ever been real but I'd like to believe that they were.

A mermaid (from the Middle English mere in the obsolete sense 'sea' + maid(en)) is a legendary aquatic creature with the head and torso of human female and the tail of a fish. The male version of a mermaid is called a merman; the gender-neutral collective noun is merfolk. Various cultures throughout the world have similar figures. They were known to sing sailors to their deaths, like the Siren, or squeeze the life out of drowning men, while trying to rescue them.

The Sirens of Greek mythology are sometimes portrayed in later folklore as mermaids; in fact in some languages the name sirena is used interchangeably for both creatures. Other related types of mythical or legendary creature are water fairies (e.g. various water nymphs) and selkies.

Mermaids exist in movies, fiction, and imagination. They were a romantic explaination brought back by early sailors, but are simply fictional, and do not exist in the real world.

Mermaids are technically chimera (pronounced ky-mer'-ah), or creatures made of two utterly different real beings, in this case, human beings and fish. Not possible in biological reality. Sorry.
