meet me, the merlion

hello... i'm Merlion. as u can see, im half lion and half fish (probably the "mer" words come from mermaid? hehehe).. here i am standing near the Fullerton Hotel (the hotel is just behind me) known as the oldest hotel in my country, Singapore. i live in a park called by my name, Merlion Park. It's also a walking distance from Esplanade.

I love to shower water during the day and evening but only up to 11 PM. I have a family too. My father (or my mother?) is bigger than me, standing silently in the Sentosa Island, and my child stands behind me with a small pond all for himself :-)

I weight 70 tonnes! Can u imagine? If you want to see my history details u can easily see it here.
