What does a manatee take for a cold, I wonder?

Water bath, from what I'm understanding. ;)

I know what shark teeth look like. These were more like big molars. Could have been from any number of large mammals, I would imagine.

Kind of like that (from what I remember).

I’m pretty happy that things like the Megalodon got wiped out by something or other.

Shark fin soup for everyone!

Got your back, bro. I have recipes for almost anything. And I can adapt them if required.

Neighbor asked why I kept a loaded rifle in the corner (when I've got loaded shotguns and pistols easy to hand). I told him that I never know when a rhino might start tearing up my front lawn.

And I've got recipes for rhino, too. ;)

I did most of mine with a shorty on. It worked ok in the summer time when I could warm up between dives. Not so much when it was 60 degrees outside.

These are the teeth of the largest predatory shark that ever lived....kindred to the extant great white shark.....genus Megalodon. It was 10 times the size of todays largest great white shark.

I go sharks tooth diving off the beach, trying to find some of those. Have several hundred much smaller ones. Found parts of a whale bone but nothing big.

Why, why....if AGW was true (not) then the Manatee’s would think it was FantasmaGOREical.

I had to.....just had to. Sorry.

Hasn't the manatees been given the pages from the latest GW handbook? Apparently not, so someone tell them that GW is in full effect right now and to at least act warm... heck the Florida everglades are practically boiling!

It’s all relative, pilgrim. 72 degree springs are indeed warm compared to waters chilled by below freezing air temps over other waters nearby. Same thing happens to other life forms susceptible to the cold down south like snook fish and others which perish by the thousands in rivers and off shore during an unseasonable “cold snap”.

Count me in the 'has opposable thumbs and builds fires to defeat cold snaps' column.
