Safari Boo 2016

On Friday the 21st, River Safari Singapore kicks off this year's Safari Boo Halloween event. The event features four mermaids swimming alongside manatees in a 9-meter deep tank.

The four performers are led by Cara Nicole Neo, much better known as Mermaid Syrena, head of the Singapore mermaid school.

"The merry-not-scary Halloween event will be held over two weekends, from Oct 21 to 23 and Oct 28 to 30."

Get all the details and watch the 1.5-minute video in this article at Channel News Asia.


Mermaid BnB

Looking for the perfect place to 'get away'? Casa Caracol, located on Isla Mujeres in Mexico, may be the perfect place. Casa Caracol is a shell-shaped mermaid-inspired home that runs $308 US per night.

"And, of course, no mermaid home would be complete without a beachfront bedroom. This luxurious king-size bed with a shell-shaped headboard will guarantee a relaxing night filled with wonderful dreams."

Plenty of photos of this fun Airbnb destination can be found in an article by Daniela Galvez at the Vivala travel site.

Swimming Competition

Mermaids and mermen are everywhere. Many are professionals, while others swim for fun and relaxation. So, it was about time for a mermaid/merman swimming competition.

Recently, over 100 merfolk attended just such a competition in Suhl, Germany. Hattie Gladwell at Metro UK has the complete story.

"Mini-mermaids competed in 50m races, while the adults swam twice the distance as they each showed off their beautiful tails."

Perhaps we will soon see swimming competitions in other parts of the world.


Mermaids Among Us

Seventeen Magazine presents 18 Real Mermaids Who Walk Among Us. Are you a Modern Mermaid or a Festival Mermaid? These and many other mermaid personas are ready to be discovered in this article by Caelan Hughes.

Choose your favorite look, and then dive right in!


Are Mermaids Real?

For any mermaid or merman performer, casual swimmer, or blogger, there is one question heard more than any other: Are mermaids real?

Writer Sarah Laskow and Atlas Obscura tackle the burning question, and explain why web searches for mermaids made a sudden increase just a few years ago.

"Interest in mermaids wasn't always so high. Before 2013, in fact, Google received about the same level of interest in mermaids as in vampire, aliens, and so on. But something changed in 2013."

A very interesting article, and well worth a read.
