Let's play a game!
Comment with any question you'd want to ask one of these marine biologists about their new discovery and they (I) will do their very best to give you a thoughtful answer.

[CHARACTER CHANGE - GO!]

Hello out there. My name is Dr. Andrews and I will be taking your questions about this marvelous creature. To start, I'll tell you a little about what's going on in our lab today.

Three weeks ago, my team was out on a dive looking for fossils when they heard a strange animal call. It sounded much like a whale, except whales do not have the ability to create the range of pitches my team was hearing. It was almost as if the creature was singing. After sending down two more teams, they found this massive beast trapped under what looked to be some fallen rocks. Her mate, who was a good three or four meters shorter, was already crushed by another rock nearby. It was nothing we'd ever seen before, so we rushed to free her and brought her back to the labrotory. Strangely enough, she didn't struggle (which is good, seeing as she probably has the strength to crush any unprotected human).

We were perplexed as to what this could be. Finally, we all admitted that there was no other explination - we had found a mermaid.

Today, you can see our team of specialists analyzing her reactions and habits. On a whim, we've even had Dr. Jerriene come in. She trains Gorrillas to communicate using sign language and pictures. So far, the creature seems to be doing well and is cooperating wonderfully.

Frequently Asked Questions -

Q: Why do you have her in such a small space?! Animals shouldn't be cooped up like that!
A: When we first brought her here we had her in a MUCH larger tank, but she actually began showing signs of anxiety and stuck to the corners and crevices. We've learned that they feel safer in smaller spaces.

Q: She looks so human like. How is this possible?
A: We're still debating about that. Our hypothesis is that her anscestors were the same ones that lead to the modern day humans. A good example of what we think happened is along the lines of the whales - Whales actually evolved to go on land, then for whatever reason, they went back to the water. This may have happened with a branch of the early humans.

Q: She's HUMUNGOUS. How in the world did she get so big?
A: Again, we don't know anything for sure. Our closest guess is the Goldfish Theory. A goldfish's size is proportional to their environment and their population. Since we've never seen one of these before, we can assume their population is very small, and with the whole ocean to live in, they grew to be very large. Their size is also probably a defense measure against predators that would normally be able to hunt human-sized prey.

Your turn! Do you have any questions about her that you're just dying to know the answer to? Want to know how she does something, or what one of her special features is? leave a comment below!
