What are Mermen and Mermaids?

In Folklore, a mermaid is an aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish. Mermaids appear in the mythology of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Mermen, the counterparts of the mythical female mermaids, are mythical creatures, which are male human from the waist up and fish-like from the waist down but may assume normal human shape. Sometimes they are described as hideous and other times as handsome and alluring.

Whether one is into the ocean or not, one cannot deny that we are all connected to the sea. It covers the vast majority of the planet, provides us with food, helps regulate the climate, and gives many of us a euphoric feeling, well known among tourists, divers, sailors, and mermaids of course!
