That would just be vulgar, but our lives, and those of the animals which we look after, would be a damn sight easier if we receive more donations to our fighting fund. Donate via Paypal today...

A similar creature to the Merbeing is the Selkie, which is supposedly a seal that can doff its sealskin to reveal a human beneath. A theory regarding the origin of selkie belief (in Scotland particularly) is that the odd Lapp has drifted south from Norway in his kayak, clad in a sealskin coat.
Some quite credible reports of Merfolk describe animals who look remarkably like the traditional type. In the Orkney Islands they believe in Finfolk - the men have legs, but the women look like mermaids. See Wikipedia article.
