Which country is the mermaid from
Mermaids are Danish.
The mermaid is a fairy tale character created by Hans Christian Andersen, a Danish writer. The mermaid was just a fairy tale at the beginning, but with the popularity of the mermaid, she has gradually become a symbol of Denmark.
The Danish people admire the sacrifice spirit and noble sentiments of the little mermaid. In order to commemorate her forever, they elaborately made a bronze statue of the little mermaid. Some of the models of the statue said they were ballet dancers who were performing in the Danish Royal Theater at that time, and some said they were the sculptor's wife. The bronze statue is similar in size to the human body. Its lower limbs are fishtail shaped, and its upper body is a lifelike beauty with a quiet expression and a slightly shy and melancholy face.
The prototype of mermaid
As for the prototype of mermaid, it is generally accepted that manatees or dugongs are used. The most convincing thing that humans think of manatees as mermaids is that manatees have two breasts, as big as a man's fist, which are located under the pectoral fins, similar to the position of a man's breast. This is probably the biggest reason for naming it Mermaid.
Some people even said that it used its flippers to hold its baby upright in the water for feeding, and its upper body was exposed to the water, which was similar to a human figure. In fact, this was not the case. When feeding, the manatee floated horizontally on the water, and its body was slightly sideways. It never stood upright on the water for feeding. There is no scientific basis to prove why people call manatees "mermaid".

Do you know the prototype of the movie Mermaid? The upper body of a mermaid is a person (mostly a woman), and the lower body is a fish. People at that time probably misread the Dugong, a mammal that lives in the sea today, as a monster, and it was widely spread, but this statement has no factual basis. Mermaid is mostly used to symbolize very unfortunate things, such as the mermaid in Andersen's fairy tales. In most literary works, mermaid's fate is very sad, and they can't get happiness in the end. By the way, although we are familiar with the mermaid sculpture, the lower part of the body has only one tail fin, but in ancient western paintings, mermaid usually has two tail fins, which is quite incredible.
