Are Mermaids Real?

Living in a country which is composed of a group of thousand islands is quite fascinating. I'm grateful to be born in such a country, being rich in natural resources and a culture to add. Because we are surrounded by seas and oceans, stories about mermaids are a common thing. It is part of our folklore; several television series and movies such as "Dyesebel" and "The Little Mermaid" are even inspired by such stories.
The question, "Are mermaids real?" is just normal to hear. For some fishermen of old days, they are real; close encounters, stories and all. But to the modern fisher folks they are nothing but myth. No one would even believe that what we see on television would be true. That is why many of us choose to watch movies with themes about mermaids so that we could take a glimpse of what these creatures really look like. I, for one, love "Barbie as the Little Mermaid Princess". It is fascinating to sometimes feel like a child and believe them to be real.
However, my belief that mermaids are just myth has been challenged months ago. From the facts that we gather, I soon come to believe mermaids are real. The photo above explains it all. This photo has not been altered in any way. This is real, taken through a cellphone. The mermaid above is said to have entered into a fish trap and was not able to get out. Whether it was still alive or already dead when discovered by a fisherman is not known. The story of this mermaid (who, where, how and what) is being kept secret. A television network team even failed to get the details of this. My concern is just to share my little knowledge about this and tell the world that, "yes, I believe in mermaids."
