I love manatees. My family used to go see them in Florida, especially around Tampa several times a year. So sad when you see one cut up by boat motors.
In West Africa and in Caribbean Arawak cultures, the Sea Calf is thought to be a sacred creature. Shame that Florida and other areas did so little to protect them from unwary boat operators and others.
Wow, that is a greatly interesting photo!
I am glad it was brought back up, today, as I must have missed it when it was originally posted here in July.
