Singapore's national symbol - the Merlion - with the head of a lion and the body of a fish.
The body symbolizes Singapore's humble beginnings as a fishing village, then called Temasek, meaning "sea town" in Old Javanese.
The head stands for Singapore's original name Singapura, which is Malay and means "Lion City".
