The Merlion is Singapore's Avater. It represents Singapore and how it was found. It represents history. Long ago, in1965, when Singapore was borned, the Merlion was an imaginary creature with a head of a lion and a body with a fish.The fish body comes from Singapore's ancient name back when it was a fishing village — Temasek — meaning "sea town" in Javanese. It was created by Mr Fraser Brunnera member of the Souvenir Committee and curator of the Van Kleef Aquarium.
