MOBILE, Ala. -- Three manatees have been sighted in the area within the last week, despite water temperatures considered far to chilly for the warm-blooded mammals.
Local scientists are trying to keep tabs on the trio in the hopes of avoiding a repeat of last year, when two manatees died in Mobile Bay of cold exposure.

I saw this story this morning. I’m trying to figure out the global warming angle. The manatees are migrating north due to global warming, but then freezing to death when they get here. How confusing.

Way to go, Algore! Now your Gore Effect
TM hoax is freezing manatees to death in Alabama. If you don't stop with your scam soon there will be freezing pipes in Key West.

Can’t be them. Manatees are warm-blooded mammals.

Boat traffic will kill them before the cold in most cases. Hugh does not like propellers.

There used be a big ship docked near Dauphin Island Sea Lab named “Gulf Peace”. I don’t know if it was apart of Greenpeace or not.

Ain’t any manatees in Mobile Bay, mermaids or drunk Ole Miss fans, but no manatees. Move on along

Any power plants up there? The manatees in FL would search out the power plant discharges in the winter because of the warm water. They are great creatures.
