General Information	Building an Exhibit	The Life Cycle	Who do they like to live with and eat?

Description:
Since the Middle Ages, sailors, fishermen, and others who make their livings on the sea have reported sighting a strange creature, half-human, half-fish. Over the years and across the globe they have been called many things: merrows in Ireland, sea-trows in the Shetlands, havfine in Norway, Meerfrau in Germany, Rusalka in Russia, and river-Witches in Africa. Despite these numerous sightings, most attempts to capture or even approach these creatures over the years have failed. Mermaids tend to prefer shallow water, and many sighting of them have occurred while they sun themselves on offshore rocks or even beaches. Some have tried to capture them, but found that they do not thrive in captivity. In fact, many captive mermaids refuse to eat until freed. Over the past century, zoos and circuses have claimed to have mermaids on display (some living, some dead), but until now, these have all been dismissed as hoaxes. One such exhibit consisted of the stuffed head of an orangutan, the torso of a chimpanzee, and the tail of a large salmon all stitched together. According to many theories, Mermaids are the offspring of humans and fish. There are mermaids in many stories--one of the most notable is the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale about a Mermaid who wishes for legs. Although some mermaid sightings may have been sailor’s imagination or sightings of manatees or other sea creatures, here in your zoo you have the chance to exhibit real merfolk. Throughout history, no one has ever kept a mermaid or merman captive against its will....How will your zoo do?
