Lost Manatee

[sugarbrown]

For those of you who follow animal rescues, etc. here is a link http://wmctv.com/ to watch a live coverage of a Manatee rescue in TN.

He swam up the MS River accidentally, and it's too cold for him...He should be in Florida...

They can't find him right now, but it's quite interesting watching the live video...well, now it's kind of boring, but it may get better when they find him!

I sure hope the best for the poor guy!

They saw one in the Hudson River not too long ago too, fwiw.

...and I thought I was a minority in Memphis.

Were they able to save him, or was he ok?

..geez, I'm not sure if that's funny or not!

Dunno, but it was confirmed. It's actually not unheard of.

Oh I'm so glad they found him !
Manatees are such beatiful
creatures.

They did?? I thought he was still in the water somewhere, either hiding or hanging out somewhere else...
I read they're going to continue looking for him tomorrow, and aren't too worried about the water temperature yet...

This is all on the wmctv website....Am I out to lunch? Hugh Manatee is cute. I had also heard 'Manny' which isn't nearly as clever!
