      @Shar37 I’m afraid not. Nice idea though.

      We’re pretty sure the idea of mermaids came from manatees! Go google manatees and then try and figure out how drunk the sailors were when they came up with that one.

      There are a lot of places in the ocean we haven’t studied, and probably a lot of really weird new creatures out there, but I think mermaids are evolutionarily unlikely!

      It would be amazing if there was an intelligent species like that out there under the sea somewhere, but I think if they existed, they’d have made contact to ask us to stop polluting the oceans already.
