The Merlion is Singapore's symbol. It is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Mer = sea and "lion".
The Merlion in the picture is one of the 5 merlions recognized by Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
It is located at the Merlion Park.
BTW...
Forgive me if the quality of the photos is not that good enough. I took this during my first visit in Singapore last 2008. I don't have a DSLR that time yet :(
