Do mermaids exist?

C.J.S. Thompson, a former curator at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, noted in his book "The Mystery and Lore of Monsters" (Kessinger, 2010), "Traditions concerning creatures half-human and half-fish in form have existed for thousands of years, and the Babylonian deity Era or Oannes, the Fish-god, is represented on seals and in sculpture, as being in this shape over 2,000 years B.C. He is usually depicted as having a bearded head with a crown and a body like a man, but from the waist downwards, he has the shape of a fish covered with scales and a tail."
There are other accounts that were told about mermaids, yet some are still doubtful of their existence. Legends of mermaids are tales as old as time, but they are still present in many forms; their images can be found in films, books, movies and even in fashion.
The fashion industry (the mermaid believers and even those that are skeptics) welcomes the world of sea. Here are some of the best mermaid fashion that will show us how wonderful it is if mermaids do exist.
