What was the bizarre creature caught in China 40 years ago?

One night in the summer of 1995, a fisherman in the Hangzhou Islands ran into the local management department to report a case, the fisherman reflected: in the sea outside the Hangzhou Islands, they found a person with a fishtail beauty, beautiful bun hair messy, sitting on the reef by the sea, it looked at the white moon rising in the sky, and let out a low and strange cry. After receiving the report, the local organization quickly rushed to the sea, but when they came to the fishermen said the place, found the coastal reefs empty, only the white moon still hanging in the air, and the seawater kept hitting the reefs, making a clattering sound. Due to the lack of evidence, the matter was left unresolved. This is an account of the mermaid, the matter was published in the local newspaper, a time that set off a craze for mermaid research. In fact, in the history of ancient and modern China and abroad, on the "mermaid" records, it can be said that there are endless, variety of well-documented mermaid legends and sightings, making the mermaid has become a mystery for ages.

In ancient Babylonian mythology more than 7000 years ago, there is a water god named "Ea", she has a human upper body but has the lower half of a fish, she is also known as a "mermaid". This myth is the earliest record of the "fish people", after the legend, the fish people were glorified as young and beautiful women, known as "mermaids", who live in the sea, the upper half of the beautiful girl, the lower half of the body for the fishtail. Since then, the legend of mermaids has been spread around the world.

At the end of the 18th century, London, England held a world sensation "mermaid taxidermy exhibition", which attracted the attention of the people. Soon after, the exhibition went to New York, the United States to hold the same success. The exhibition displayed a total of three mermaid specimens, including one called the "Fijian mermaid" specimen successfully attracted the attention of the crowd, and it has become the world's most famous mermaid. However, research by relevant scientists found that these so-called mermaid specimens are just a combination of fish and monkeys. It is because of this that many people have questioned the existence of mermaids.

At 6 a.m. on October 28, 1975, fishermen from the Shavian Society Marine Battle Brigade in Hep County, Xingu, accompanied by relevant scientific researchers boarded two large-topped sailboats and quietly set out for the intended waters. On these two ships, dozens of local veteran fishermen who were proficient in water and experienced were selected, and more than 10 competent naval warriors, as well as biologists and oceanographers with rich professional knowledge. They carried the most advanced electronic radar search equipment at that time and were equipped with the most advanced fishing nets. In less than two minutes, the two large nets that were standing by quickly pounced on the mermaids, who were surrounded by shallow snickered mermaids had to chopsticks thick rope to the scurrying chaos, rumors of a thousand years of mermaids finally fell into the net. Mermaid arrested, the crowd cheered, and experts excitedly ran off the command deck to observe. After more than half an hour of salvage, a mermaid was fished out and urgently sent to the research center for on-site research.

In the research center of the large glass tank, several "mermaid" was placed inside, the first look at the "mermaid" experts but a little disappointed. The legendary image of the upper half of the beauty, the lower half of the image of the mermaid did not appear, but rather a shark-like fish, this fish has a fish like pectoral fins and crescent-shaped tail fins, can said that it is like a fish, and the body has a sparse coarse hard yellow-brown short hair, and in the armpits on both sides of the chest also has a pair of four or five cementer long nipples, its s, gape, and sea lions, but not exactly the same, the face is very long The face is very peculiarly long, and the upper lip is particularly strong, like a yellowed lotus leaf. However, the news that the mermaid is in a dungeon immediately aroused the opposition of some scholars. As early as 1960, British anthropologist, sit Glister Hardy pointed out that in the "blank period" of human evolution 4 million years ago, human ancestors did not live on land, but in the ocean.
