Looks like a Fiji Mermaid to me.

The original Fiji Mermaid was in PT Barnam's side show. It was a monkey and a fish stiched together and dried. Since then many more have been maid. Its not real however, its just two parts of dead animals attached to eachother.

I would hate to come across one of those things floating in the ocean!!!! Does any one know why the did this???? Its pretty freaky!!!

Pff... Despite the obvious fish-monkey theory, I'd say its a fish that died while EATING a monkey. Possibly a flyfish, to get up in the trees and snag an orangutang.

But I saw some report said that someone claimed they had had meimaids somewhere.

THe picture quality is too bad.. The upper torso could be anything.

But a monkey would be my guess.

No, it's a "chimera." These are produced for sideshows and carnivals by gluing or sewing a mummified monkey's torso onto a stuffed fish.

It is not nessacarily a fiji mermaid. There have been sitings of mermaids, and the Fiji mermaids was billed by Barnum as a fake. Thats the weird thing. If it was a fake, why bill it at all? Maybe it was real. Maybe that is real. But it definetly came from some water source.

this is a picture from ripleys believe it or not and it is a monkey sewed to a fish

Still though you have to admit its pretty freaky stuff to look at..... Maybe once there was creatures like this though
