Mermaid with a Waved Albatross

This Mermaid, named Coraline, is living in the tropical waters around the Galapagos Islands.  She is basking in the sun and one of her friends, a Waved Albatross, is flying over for a visit. You might be surprised to know that Mermaids are closely related to Fairies.  Mermaids have special lungs that can extract oxygen from water.  They don't have gills, like a fish, they just have adaptive lungs. Their lungs can also extract oxygen from the atmosphere, like mortal lungs. 

Notice the small trident.  Her trident is actually a type of magic wand.  Some Mermaids and Mermen use larger tridents, but the small tridents are still very powerful.  Coraline is wearing a top of sewed kelp leaves.  

The Waved Albatross is a beautiful and very large bird.  It nests in the Galapagos Islands.  The male and female have a unique mating dance that my wife and I have witnessed.  See the below photo from our trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2016.
