I think that you have ever seen a mermaid as a cartoon character or a book hero. The mermaid is a mythological character. It is believed that mermaids live in various bodies of water and look half like girls, and half like fish.
Instead of legs, mermaids have a long, dolphin-like tail. Most often, cartoon mermaids are depicted with bright orange or red fluffy hair.
