I Spy A Selkie! A Trip To The Zoo Part II !

In a recent post, I mentioned that I had more "mer-mish" secrets to share with you! Well, on my trip to the zoo, I also saw.... Thats right! Sea Lions! They reminded me so much of selkies :)
*please note: after reading David Kirby's book "Death At Seaworld" I do not visit aquariums or zoos anymore*

The selkies were curious about the trainers
cleaning their tank!

Arent they just adorable? I also got myself a stuffed sea lion, which I named Selkie!

I Find Mermaids Everywhere!

Recently, I took a trip to the zoo with my lovely boyfriend. Somehow, I always manage to find something about mermaids ;) Here are a few interesting pictures I took!
      As you may have seen, there was a recent special on Animal Planet about mermaids titled, "Mermaids: The Body Found". In this special, scientists tear away at the fantasy mermaids we all know so well, and look at the anatomy, social behaviors and physiology of merfolk. In one scene in particular, they show drawings and replicas of what a mermaids skull might look like. When I found this, I said hmm... looks familiar? And my boyfriend agreed! Take a look ;)

As you can see, both have a crest on the head.
Although some of the features in the drawing
are smaller, how much is false, and how much
is true about this documentary?

Also, I managed to find a beautiful mermaid fountain :)

 More book reviews are coming soon! Also, I will try to post more "mer-mish" things I saw at the zoo.. it's a surprise though :)
