How many meters is the deepest depth that humans have ever explored in the ocean? Have you ever encountered incredible underwater creatures?

The Mariana Trench is 11°20 north latitude and 142°11.5 east longitude. The maximum water depth is 11,033 meters in the Fitchas Abyss

As for mermaids, I think they do exist. Pliny the Elder was a natural scientist who described "mermaid" creatures. He wrote in his immortal work "Natural History": "As for the mermaids, they are also called Nielides. This is not unbelievable... They are real. It’s just that the body is rough and covered with scales, and even the parts that look like women have scales.” There are many examples of people who are said to have seen mermaids, and media reports on mermaids are even more common.

Not long ago, Dr. Vigrad of the Russian Academy of Sciences revealed a surprising secret. In 1962, a Soviet cargo ship mysteriously sank off the coast of Cuba. Since there were nuclear missiles on board, the Soviet Union sent a detection ship carrying scientists and military experts (including Dr. Winograd) to search the sunken ship in an attempt to recover the nuclear missiles.

The exploration ship came to the shipwreck area and used underwater cameras to scan the seafloor. Suddenly, a strange monster bursts into the scene: it looks like a fish or a child swimming under the water. It has gills on its head and is covered with dense scales. When it swam towards the camera, it looked at the camera with its small black naughty eyes, looking very curious. On the exploration ship, the scientists and military experts gathered in front of the fluorescent screen were all stunned.

In order to capture this monster, they sunk an experimental tank used to capture underwater creatures on the seabed within the camera's field of view. Not long after, the monster appeared again. When it got into the tank to grab fish food, the staff on the ship quickly hoisted the tank onto the ship. When the door of the tank was opened, I heard a scream like a seal, and then I saw a small green hand stretching out from the tank. When all the monsters were pulled out of the tank, people saw more clearly that it was a 0.6-meter-long mermaid baby. The whole body was covered with scales and there was a bone crown on the head. Its eyes stared at the people around him in fear. . Some people present said this was a "man from the bottom of the sea", but more people thought this was the mermaid that people have been looking for.

In the 17th century, "Hutson's Voyage Diary" was published in London, England, which wrote: The mermaid's back and bust exposed on the sea resembled a woman. Its body is about the same size as an average person, its skin is very white, and its back is covered with long black hair. When it dived, people also saw its tail, which was similar to that of a dolphin, with many spots like mackerel on its tail.

There are also records about mermaids in our country’s history books. The book "Ancestor Yi Ji" of the Song Dynasty gave a detailed description of the shape of the mermaid: During the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, a man named Cha Dao went to Korea (today's North Korea) as an envoy and saw a "woman" appearing on the sea. She is wearing a red dress, her hair is in a messy bun, and her cheeks are slightly exposed with a red mane. She is holding her hand in the water, bowing to her hand and falling in love. She is a mermaid." There are similar records in "Ji Shen Lu" written by Xu Xuan, a scholar of the Song Dynasty.

In order to explore the research topic of whether mermaids exist, marine biologists, zoologists and anthropologists have done a lot of research work in recent decades and put forward many hypotheses.

Dr. Lyle Wagner, an anthropologist at the University of Vasinia in Norway, believes that mermaids do exist. “Whether it is historical records or modern witnesses, mermaids all have the same characteristics. That is, the head and upper body are like a human, while the lower body has a tail like a dolphin.”

In addition, according to New Guinea people, the most similar thing between mermaids and humans is that they also have a lot of hair and skin. Very tender and smooth, the female's breasts are the same as those of human women, and she holds the little mermaid to breastfeed.

Dr. Alistair, a British marine biologist and member of the British Academy of Sciences, believes that "mermaids may be another variant of great apes. Babies live in amniotic fluid before birth, and they can Swimming in water, therefore, the existence of a kind of ape-like animal that can survive in water is not a very strange thing." Some scholars in the United States also agree with this statement, believing that this is one of the "undersea people" that has not yet been reported. kind.

Some biologists in my country believe that the legendary mermaid may be a marine mammal called a "dugong" (commonly known as a manatee).

In the early 1970s, "mermaids" were discovered many times in the South my country Sea, and some places even displayed photos at exhibitions, believing that this was the first discovery in my country and had great scientific value.

In 1975, relevant scientific research units captured the rare "dugong" with the help of fishermen. Since it still breathes with its lungs, it has to surface for air every ten minutes. There were sparse long hairs on its back, which was probably why the witnesses mistook it for hair. Dugongs give birth to young and nurse them with milk. When breastfeeding, they hug the young with their forelimbs. The mother's head and chest are exposed above the water to prevent the young from choking when sucking. This is probably what people see in the footage of a mermaid holding her young. But so far, many scientists believe that mermaids are just people's hallucinations.
