`~`~`~`~`~Manatees~`~`~`~`~`~ Manatees are the oceans gentle giants~! Help save the species soon to be extinct

Long ago, sailors thought they sa a strange creature. They called it a mermaid. The top halif of the mermaid was a woman, and the bottom half, as you know was a fish. Knowing that mermaids do not exist(to a ncertain content), what did the sailors REALLY see?

Today we know what the sailors thought where mermaids, were manatees.(sea cows, dugongs) These huge animals eat water plants- sixty pounds per day! These gentle giants unfornatley are now becomming extinct. Not of being hunting, (but they were hunted long, long, ago.) but by us. Human\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s boat propellers and pollution are killing natures sweetest gifts. YOU can help them & fine out more about manatees by going to the following links. Thank you!
