Mr. Merlion here is an imaginary creature with the head of a lion (Singapore- the Lion City) and a body of a fish/mermaid (homage to the Island life). The locals love this little fellow- and while it looks ancient and mysterious- it was actually invented in 1964 to be a symbol of the island nation. I think he is pretty cool- I see Merlion postcards being sent to the US in the near future...=)
