The reason is that in the mid-eighteenth century, some
sailors claimed to have seen mermaids. Believing it, various seafarers started
researching mermaids. Are there sea maidens who have sailed on different seas?
They were immersed in research.
But do you know when the truth finally came out? A mermaid is
nothing. But what the voyagers said was not entirely imaginary. It was revealed
in later research that seafarers called the manatee after seeing it as a
mermaid. Don't get confused about what animal this manatee is. A manatee is a
sea cow, a marine mammal.
People who went into the sea to explore the ocean and fish in the early days, who did not know exactly what was under the sea, saw this sea cow in the distance and thought it was a mermaid. The reason is that this sea cow looks like a woman from a distance.
With time, this species of sea cow slowly started to
disappear but now it is a protected animal in all the countries of the world.
The countries of the world have taken various measures to protect it.
At that time, many people believed that this mermaid existed
only in imagination. Before man researches and learns about each living thing,
various myths about it begin to circulate. All the research like marine
research is brisk because it makes people interested to know about it.
This mermaid also started with such a fantasy and ended with
man's discovery of a new sea creature called the sea cow. Man must protect
every rare species of animal in nature.
