    Ummm.. what is this about? :)
    It is estimated to have been out of the water for approximately 8 hours. The animal is described as being approximately 2.3 metres (5ft) long with the lower half resembling that of a large marine mammal and the top taking the form of some sort of land creature with arms and webbed fingers. The whole of the creature is covered in scales, which have started to flake off due to the length of time out of the sea.
    The strange creature has been taken under naval escort to the marine laboratory in Sattahip for forensic examination.

    After contemplating this story all afternoon I'd like to retract my original post.
    I've decided I do hope a real mermaid has washed up on shore, that live specimens are found soon, that all of them look identical to Daryll Hannah in Splash, that the species can be bred in captivity and made available at an affordable cost to the hobbiest. ;D
