Sorry to break it to ya hun but mermaids are not real.
How do I know mermaids are make belief? How about the fact that we can see what is on the Moon from Earth so surely if there was some sort of half-woman half-fish creature in the ocean we would at least have SOME evidence of it.
Like try to way up the facts: We know that mermaids exist in sailors tales, mythology, even Christopher Columbus apparently saw mermaids in the Caribbean.
But on the other hand, all the scientists with their modern technology and organizations like the National Ocean Service have been pretty clear that no evidence of mermaids have ever been found
And for those that say "the ocean is super big and maybe mermaids are hiding and haven't been discovered" -- what about the fact that we know about deep sea fish like angler fish that never see daylight even and yet we aren't advanced enough to notice mermaids that come to the surface all the time?
