Organs of Mermaids

• Amazingly, the body parts of mermaids are very similar to that of Human Beings with an exception that they has tail instead of legs.

• Besides, the tail part is exactly similar to that of Dolphins.

• Mermaids live along with the families

of Dolphins.

• They hunt the other fishes along with

the Dolphins.

• Fascinatingly, They both are

Mammals.

Mermaids and Dolphins

•  Individual dolphins communicate using a variety of clicks, whistle-like sounds and other vocalizations same as Humans.

•  Surprisingly, dolphins live in groups that they consider their family. 

• When humans give birth to a child, it takes 9 months. When dolphins give birth to a child, it takes 12 months. Just like a human does, a dolphin breeds to its own child.

Humans vs. Dolphins

•  The brain of a dolphin and the brain of a

human are very much alike. It is said to be

that dolphins are the only mammal to

have almost the same brain as us humans

do.

• A dolphins emotions can affect their

lifestyle just like it can with us.

• Obviously, dolphins and humans are both

considered mammals.

_______

• Whales and other marine mammals are much more dependent on sound for communication.

• The U.S. Navy recorded some Blooping Sounds in the deeper seas that never had been identified.

• It raised several questions in the minds of scientists.
