A mermaid’s singing can lure sailors to their death

There is no denying a mermaid’s ethereal beauty, but it’s their voice people should be wary of. One superstition requires sailors to put wax in their

ears to block a mermaid’s singing. Otherwise, the sailors would have the urge to swim with the mermaids and sink to their deaths.

Mermaids are vegetarians.

Though mostly fictional and a product of folklore, there are debates on whether a mermaid eats seafood or not. Mermaid diets depend on where they live, that’s why a few scientists believe some mermaids only eat kelp and seaweeds.
