Best Answer

There are many stories about Santa Claus, Big Foot, and the Easter Bunny, so many stories about something doesn't automatically make it true. When it comes to sightings, people see whatever they want to see. That is how the mind works. Look at the clouds long enough, and you will recognize the shapes as other objects. You will see animals, vehicles, tools, and even words in the clouds.

Unless mermaids and mermen are some sort of aliens, their existence is scientifically impossible. Humans and fish cannot mate and breed together. There are different chromosomes.

What are mermaids and merman?

mermaids and mermen are just legends...told by old pirates to get attention at the beer bar. i however do believe in legends because after every legend there is one truth. mermaids are fair girls who live in the sea... people believe that they lived in the sea so long that they have developed gills and tails to swim. though that's nothing close to the truth. mermaids are actually something what u'd call a vampire a sea vampire. a mermaid is not all that in stories.. in reality mermaids do exist and some people claim to have seen them. they eat fish..and are very brutal creatures. some ppl say they eat half a seal and leave the other half to rot in the sea. mermen are just a male version of this
