I'm glad this animal was saved.
OTOH, babies are legally murdered every day and they don't make the headlines. That says allot about out morally depraved society.

"measuring 9 feet 10 inches and weighing about 600 pounds"
Wow, that's one overweight Manatee.

Sorry misread - thought it said 9 to 10 inches.

What's going on. I thought Manatees were only found in Florida. One showed up in Memphis this fall. They seem over crowed if they are moving out as far as they have.

The title makes it sound like the manatee was in danger because of the refinery, when actually, it was completely the opposite case.

They are learning to walk, again. We keep pushing the striving little retards in the water.

My milk just about came out of my nose when I saw that photo...If there are any bass anglers on this board, don't you think that they look like a giant green pumpkin paddletail worm?

Manatees don't naturally occur in US waters at all. They were introduced to control the overgrowth of water hyacinth in Florida, which was caused by unregulated dumping of sewage.
Yeah. There's a reason why manatees get run over a lot in Florida... they don't belong there. The 'save the manatee' campaign back in the 80's was wildly successful, and the stupid buggers are spreading out. Sort of. They still don't thrive, per se.
Anyhow, I say we press 'em for safe, renewable oil. I'll convert my truck to run on em!

From the air, they look like a giant, sea going, maggot.

We had one swim up the Houston Ship Channel and show up in Buffalo Bayou near downtown Houston a few years ago. They've got a travelin' jones, those little buggers.
