Mermaid Fish
Posted in Art Supplies Canvas on 07/25/2010 11:27 am by admin
Why do folk in this section keep referring to mermaid(Selkie) biology as fish?
They would be more like seals or Dolphin, and they are mammals and their bio functions would correlate with humans more than fish
I have only ever seen mermaids depicted as scaly by Disney, and some folk may want to check the Folklore of the Orkney Islands, and Faroe Islands specifically the traditions about Selkies that marry human men and live on land and Merrows who take human women to live with them under the sea. These tales are also well known in Ireland, which is where my knowledge of them came from.
You’ve got your terms wrong. Selkie is from the Scottish word for seal. In the folklore, they are not mermaids at all. They are seals (from snout to tail) who can shed their seal skins to become women.
Mermaids are, according to the folklore again, half woman and half fish, not dolphin. They are, indeed, depicted as having scales, like fish.
And regardless, they aren’t real, and are biologically impossible.
