no one has seen Ilya since Friday afternoon.

Based on this past weekend's weather (snow), I'd say Ilya is likely a sea-cowsicle.

“Bob Schoelkopf of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center says he hopes Ilya is heading south on his own, but he’s hoping the sea cow will be spotted again.”

Ilya may been spotted by Mr. Shark.

Or, he may not have been spotted by Mr. Propeller.

Manatees have almost no body fat for insulation. Their shape is due to their large lungs.

Ilya, who was first tagged by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 10 years ago, had found a warm place to stay near a refinery in Linden, N.J.,

Not much can go wrong in the water near a New Jersey refinery.

There has to be a valid reason for this...

Global Warming?
