SARASOTA, FL - A Suncoast man says he has a potato that's shaped like a manatee.

Sarasota resident Len Higley tells ABC 7 that he picked the tuber from a bin of loose potatoes at the Publix on Fruitville Road near Honore Avenue. He says that as he sorted through them, that his eyes went right to the potato and immediately thought it looked like one of the endangered vegetarian mammals.

Higley purchased the potato a brought it home, but says he's not going to eat it.

Putting it on Ebay has crossed his mind, but not sure what he's going to do with it.

Ahh! The elusive ‘Pillsbury Manatee Crescent Roll.’

Good call.

Are you sure it doesn’t look more like a dugong?
