seen her in cartoons,heard her in stories,well what do u say does she really exist or is she juzz a legendary aquatic creature?,we cant juzz believe on peoples account when they say they have encountered a mermaid,some say while fishing,some while swimming,but whats common in their statements is they were very much alone or with a friend or two,never heard that there was a large number of public when i saw her,could be they r making up,well but who knows there r many hidden things in this world which da humans cant easily reach it or have seen it,so folks do u think mermaids r there or not

I don't know. I think it would be nice if they did. Not enough magic in the world. Believing in mermaids, unicorns whatever would be better than having war or famine. My opinion, the planet would be better off with a few magical creatures, and alot less bloodshed. Like Peter Pan said, I do believe in fairies!

I really do hope that they are exist. Even though as a grown up i never saw them in front of my eyes. But considering how greedy and manipulated humans are, better they live in secret.

en ,i prefer she really exists !!
i just saw the movie "mermaid " ,i love her so much for her beautiful appearence and she is so cute and pure minded .she loves her feet and persues her true love without hesitating and treats her friends friendly and sincerily .
i envy that she can understand all words and languages all over the world and sha can communicate with all kinds of fishes and so on .
if she is really existing ,i am sure she is popular and can be a best friend of humanbeings .

Scientifically , i don't believe it , if it does exist, there will be more grotesque creatures with more shapes .
As long as people can magine , the corresponding things can be exist ,maybe some others are beyoond the human's thinking .
Scientists say the mermaid is just a symbol beautified by some folks ,acutally it is just the animal sea cow .
But whatever i will believe it exist in the world , make more children be crazy for that . Whatever i love the beautiful imagernery things.^^

Hi jamai!!
Our Hindu religion books have many stories about mermaids. Above waist it is woman with boobs, below waist it is fish like. One can see them in our mythological movies and books.They are known as ‘Matshya-kanya’; means ‘Fish-woman’. Long back I heard about fisherman catching something similar in some seashore.
Recently a doctor friend sent the attached photo to me. It looks like one, but he clearly told me it was of a baby, having birth defect.
Thank you so much for this nice discussion..
Professor. . Cheers, have a great day ahead.
God bless you. Welcome always.

I have always been fascinated with mermaids.I hope they really exist.I simply adore them and I am enamoured by them.I love reading books on them or watching movies.From the time I've been a kid I've had this fascination.Certain things and likings do fade out with time but these mermaids are etched in my memory.

I don't think it really matters either way and I'd hate to have 100% proof either way. Legends like this are magical...like Loch Ness and Atlantis and Big Foot...if we ever found out the "truth" it would ruin the magic and mystery of it all.
As long as people believe in these things then they do exist...if only in our imaginations!

I believe that mermaids would fall into the category of myths, jamaicanwizard. Although, according to popular belief, all myths are based on facts, there has never been any solid evidence pointing to them actually being real. There are so many myths and legends that I suppose we will never know for sure whether or not they exist.

It is hard to say yay or nay to this question. Instead I like to point out. Waters are the number one place that creatures can hide. Not that new creatures aren't discovered on land, but that they are even more likely to be in the water. This makes it highly possible that such creatures do exist. Add to it the idea of being shy or scared of people...why would they come out with large groups? There are a number of creatures who avoid large groups of people...

Mermaids are just folks like santaclaus, pinokio, cinderella, etc. If u r smart enough, u'll think so.

I haven't seen any but I do believe that they really exist.....I just hear it from my mom that they really exist coz she seen already once not only her but the rest of the folks here in our place. But they said that it's not good to see one of them coz they brought news that there would be an upcoming calamities that's going to happen. And they really can prove it. Coz after they all see that creature....how many days after there was big waves on the seas that almost destroyed all the livings. am not convincing you too believe it....

MERMAIDS are not true they are just fantasy from our being childhood... no one in this world until now that is a big question? Are mermaids exist or not?
