    Actually if mermaids did exist they'd most likely be mammals, due to most records showing a remarkable similarity to humans and thus evidence of there being a common ancestor.
    from those records it could go either way, half fish too, so you couldnt really say theyre most likely to be mammals

    Btw I'm well aware the above video is fake, my above comment is a general statement.
    Fair enough, but an absence of fossil evidence, even if fossil traces are unlikely, doesn't really help you prove your point. Moreover, some species do fossilize better than others, so it might be the case that the fossils of very large creatures like dragons ought to have been discovered by now. I honestly don't know; I really haven't looked into this particular area very well. However, based on my own knowledge and experience, I would be amazed if mermaids, dragons, etc. actually existed. In such cases, Occam's Razor has proved to be a very useful tool.

    PS. You might be interested in this museum exhibit.

    No, but you said mermaids would be half fish, I assume simply because they have a fish-like body. I then attributed that to dolphins since their body from an external perspective is like a fish.

    we agree dolphins are mammals, im not saying anything about dolphins, i know what a dolphin is.

    with regards mermaids, considering they dont exist, from drawings etc i would have thought their lover half was more fish like, scales etc, whales and dolphins have smooth skin
