Little Mermaid Coloring Page for Girls

A mermaid is a fabled marine creature with the head and upper body of a woman and the tail of a fish. A male mermaid is called a merman. Aquatic mammals that suckle their young in human fashion above water – such as the dugong and manatee – are considered by some to be the origin of these legends. Sailors might have seen these animals from a distance and thought that they were mermaids.
