Why there are Mermaids.

There is another theory but, I think both of them might go together. The theory is that sailors when they were on their boats would see the backs of manatees and think they were mermaids. In my opinion I think the lack of vitamin D attributed to that because it would have affected their vision, and so on and so fourth.

So, basically, sailors were, for many reasons, completely insane and not to be trusted. (I still don't trust them lol).

My paw paw is was a sailor and so was my great (many greats) paw paw (a pirate too :S). I only trusthim half of the time. <.<

There is a similar type of Fae to mermaids :) but they very rerly choose to appear
