Do "mermaids" really exist? In 1975, what was the human capture of a creature with breasts?

Everyone must be familiar with the movie "Mermaid". The movie has a beautiful face, and the lower body is a fish creature, which must have left a deep impression in your mind. In myths and legends, there are also many stories about mermaids. For example, the tears of mermaids will turn into pearls. The oil on their bodies is a good fuel that can burn for thousands of years. Possess the ability to breathe in water, etc. However, these are unfounded stories after all, and we have yet to find a real individual. We cannot take these exaggerated records seriously. But if a child asks you, are there really mermaids in the world? Please don't break her fantasy, protect her curiosity about the world, maybe she can become a scientist who studies mermaids in the future.

01

In fact, in history, in order to explore whether mermaids really exist, humans once carried out a large-scale capture. At that time, people tried their best, so, is the strange creature that was finally caught a mermaid?

The capture incident began in 1931, when there were many fishermen along the coast of Taiwan, who were looking for some fish and shrimp on the beach every day to make a living. One day, a resident saw a huge creature on the beach, and when he looked closely, the upper body of this creature was the same as that of an adult woman. The upper body was obviously a human, but the lower body was a fish tail.

After that, he hurriedly called his companions to study this creature together. Because they had never seen it before and had insufficient knowledge, they thought it was a very rare dolphin, so a group of people weighed 200 kilograms. The creatures killed and eaten. Compared with the ancient times, this is the latest time in the legend of mermaids.

In 1955, a fisherman in Guangdong accidentally saw a mermaid on the beach slapping the reef with her beautiful tail. He called other fishermen, and everyone worked together to catch it. The mermaid is said to weigh 400 kilograms, and someone even took a photo. But because of the age, the photos have long been lost, so it is impossible to verify whether there are really creatures like mermaids.

As recently as the summer of 1956, a boat was sailing near the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the crew claimed to have seen mermaids, a species with round heads, coin-sized eyes, and protruding mouths, and they could see their teeth. The mermaid's whole body is pink, although it is not as beautiful as imagined, but since then, the saying about mermaids has been frequently exposed.

Because of the continuous development of science and technology, relevant scientific research institutions have developed a strong interest in mermaids. In 1975, under the organization of relevant departments, an operation to catch mermaids was launched in full swing. In order to solve this mystery, the ships and equipment used in the operation were the most advanced at that time, and marine experts and scholars from all over the world also gathered on the ocean to find out.

After discussion, the experts decided to set the fishing range in the Beibu Gulf waters, because it is said that mermaids have appeared in this waters many times. Compared with other places, this place has a higher probability of catching mermaids, and people have set up a net in this sea area. The operation was carried out quietly and nervously. Suddenly someone noticed strange creatures appearing in the water. The commander ordered the nets to be closed quickly. Caught the legendary "mermaid".

After nearly an hour of catching, a fish was finally caught, and people sent it to the scientific research center as quickly as possible, but the well-informed experts quickly pointed out that the creature was shaped like a sea lion, There are many short, thick and hard hairs on the body. And the remnants in their stomachs are seagrass, the physical structure is like a cow, and it has a pair of udders on both sides, these characteristics are enough to indicate that this is a mammal. After many verifications, experts came to the scientific conclusion that this creature belongs to the order of manatees, and its scientific name is "Dugong". This result is disappointing, and the legend about the existence of mermaids on the earth is broken again.

Epilogue

Until now, the debate about mermaids has never stopped, and we can see mermaid plots in many movies. Some praise mermaids for being kind, while others say that mermaids actually eat people. But no matter what the claim is, it has not been scientifically verified. Some marine experts give an explanation: The female dugong is similar in length to the female, plus its pectoral fins are longer, so from a distance, it looks like a human hand. But yes, some marine experts also give different views. They say that early humans came from the ocean. Because of environmental changes, they slowly migrated to land. However, there must be the following creatures that have not fully evolved in the ocean, so mermaids may be really exist. There are indeed many unknowns in the mysterious ocean. It is believed that not only the mermaid is a creature to be studied, but also other species are waiting for us to discover.
