If mermaids were real how would they have babies?

Answer 1

By communing with the sea.

Answer 2

Since mermaids are fictious creatures, the reproduce in whatever way the person writing aboout them wants them to reproduce. Here are a few suggestions:

because their reproductive system is on the fish half of their body the females lay eggs and the males fertilize them, no intercourse

I think because the upper half of a mermaid has the human part and the lower side is the fish it would only make sense that they would reproduce like dolphins. Having a "cod" scale of a sort. In myth and lore they are spotted in the ocean by sailors. Which only leads one to come to the conclusion that they are coming up for air. Only air breathing animals (IE Mammals) do that. Another reason this maybe a more viable answer is that the females are most times depicted having breasts on their upper half. Means some sort of mammary gland. Again only mammals produce milk to feed their young. Looking at things from this point of view makes things a little more understandable. -Previous answer.

The answer above is partly right, i think they lure sailors and pirates under water, where before they kill them, the mermaids use them to reproduce by using oral sex

Answer 3

I heard on Yahoo that they reproduce the same as fish. The female lays eggs and after the male ejaculates in the water around the eggs and the eggs hatch after a while. o-o

No. They turn into a human legs when they are ready. And get pregnant for 9 months and hold there baby till they r 1 and there baby grows 2 a mini mermaid. If they r taken out of the water before they r even 1 then they r a human till they are 13. Like the movie The thirteen year. (They can turn 2 human legs any time).

Answer 4

They don't because they are not real so that can not make babies. A baby that was two different creatures wouldn't be able to live in real life. It would die. Mermaids are from stories and myths they do not exist. They don't. They're fictional.

Answer 5

Merhumans DON'T lay eggs. they have scale flaps wich cover private areas. thus, they do it the same way we do. same with nagas (snake people)

Answer 6

Since mermaids are mythological beings, then the answer would be a mythological guess.

Answer 7

Mermaids are not real and they are made up so they don't have babies. It is all made up.

Answer 8

As there are no 'real' mermaids they do not have children.
