Mermaids have not been discovered so you can't say anything about their eye color. Mermaids are believed to be mythological, so you can't say what eye color they have. If they do exist, they probably have humanly features so they probably could have any eye color.

Asked by Wiki User

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

Can mermaids go on land and have feet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

i have never heard of a mermaid who could walk on land, however i have heard of selkies. Selkies are from scottish and Irish myths, they are like seals, but at night they come out of the water and take off their seal skins and are actually enchanted women. Though they did come onto land, they were careful never to go too far onto it- and still preferred water to it.

In some tales, it is said that after the beautiful women took off their seal skins, men who had spied them before, would steal the suit and lure to women back to their house and force them to live their lives as the man's human bride- promising only then to give them back their seal skin so they could return to the ocean. The clever men afterwords burned the seal skins so their wives could never return to the sea. However i have heard a few tales in which the selkie would eventually find their seal skin and return to the sea.

WhereHas a real mermaid ever been found?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Mermaids are mythological creatures. However, there have been many reported sightings of them, and hoaxes involving their existence.

Sirenia is an order of fully aquatic, herbivorous mammals that inhabit rivers, estuaries, coastal marine waters, swamps, and marine wetlands. Animals belonging to this order include manatees and the dugong. Before mid 19th century, mariners referred to these animals as mermaids.

Obviously, it is impossible to entirely dispell the possibility of there being mermaids in the sea! But the general concensus is that there are not.

How long can you hold you breath for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Oxygen is needed for the Kreb's cycle to function. This releases the energy needed by the organs of the body. The brain cannot function without this energy; therefore, one will pass out before the body actually dies. Once one passes out, the lungs will expand because air will travel from high pressure to low pressure, starting the breathing.
