Bartholin himself had argued that it was a sea mammal closely related to seals ( phocae). [266] [262] [ag] His rationale was that since there are several marine counterparts to land mammals e.g. "sea-horses", [ah] the possibility of a marine creature with striking likeness to humans could not be ruled out, [263] though they should all be classified among seal-kind.

It has been conjectured that these carcasses of nereids washed up on shore were "presumably seals".

Barnum in 1842; [as] [323] in this case an investigator claims to have traced the mermaid's manufacture to a Japanese fisherman. [324] An alleged ningyo or merman/mermaid specimen (side view) ―Baien's sketch (1825)It was supposedly caught by Boeren in Ambon Province ( Buru, in present-day Maluku Province), [303] presumably around the years 1706–1712, [301] or perhaps the year 1712 precisely. [305] During this period, Fallours served briefly as soldier for the VOC ( Dutch East India Company) starting June 1706, but turned associate curate (Krankbezoeker) for the Dutch Reformed Church (September 1706 to June 1712). [306] A merfolk race called the Di people [ zh] are described as populating its own nation in the Shanhaijing ( Classic of Mountains and Seas) compilation of Chinese geography and mythology, dating from the 4th century BC. [197] [198] The ancient work also included several types of human-headed fish, such as the chiru [ zh] or "red ru fish"; [199] [198] as well as creature with some humanlike qualities like the renyu ( 人魚) or "human-fish". [200] [198] This specimen had been on display inside a jar at the Turf Coffee-house, St. James's Street as illustrated in an etching of it was made by artist George Cruikshank.

The mermaid corresponds to Danish and Bokmål Norwegian havfrue, whereas merman answers to Danish/Norwegian havmand. [131] [132] [m] In Zimbabwe mermaids are known as "njuzu". They are believed to be solitary and occupy one body of water. Individual njuzu may be benevolent or malicious. Angry njuzu may be blamed for unexpected misfortunes, such as bad weather or the sudden disappearance of people. Benevolent njuzu are thought to reside in peaceful lakes or rivers. If a person goes missing near such lakes or rivers, they may have been taken by the njuzu. To obtain the person's release, local elders will brew beer as a propitiatory offering, and ask the njuzu to return the person alive. Those seeking the person's release are not supposed to cry or shed tears. If the njuzu releases the person, they will become or be regarded as a n'anga, or traditional healer, with knowledge of herbs, medicinal plants, and cures. [ citation needed] Middle High German mereminne 'mermaid' is mentioned, among other epics, in the Rabenschlacht [11] [108] ("Battle of Ravenna", 13th cent.) of the Dietrich cycle. The mermaid (or undine [17]) is named Wâchilt and is the ancestress [l] of the traitorous Wittich who carries him off at the time of peril to her "submarine home". [17] [21] [14] The conception of the siren as both a mermaid-like creature and part bird-like persisted in Byzantine Greece for some time. [185] The Physiologus began switching the illustration of the siren as that a mermaid, as in a version dated to the 9th century. [75] The 10th century Byzantine Greek dictionary Suda still favored the avian description. [186] [187]The Old Norse Þiðreks saga proper [19] [111] calls the same mermaid a sjó kona ( siókona [sic.]) [13] [14] or "sea-woman". [21] [112] They have 1 new interaction, that is “I Can Fly!” (Interaction [not animation] from the Sims 3 Supernatural) where they’ll fly around increasing the fun need. Mermaids and mermen are also characters of The myth of "Pania of the Reef", a well-known tale of Māori mythology, has many parallels with stories of sea-people in other parts of the world. And the comb and mirror were originally associated with Aphrodite/Venus, as Fraser points out here. The female oceanids, nereids and naiads are mythical water nymphs or deities, although not depicted with fish tails. "Nereid" and "nymph" have also been applied to actual mermaid-like marine creatures purported to exist, from Pliny (cf. §Roman Lusitania and Gaul) and onwards. Jane Ellen Harrison (1882) has speculated that the mermaids or tritonesses of Greek and Roman mythology may have been brought from the Middle East, possibly transmitted by Phoenician mariners. [35]
