No! They're nature's gentle lover!!
Behold the elusive Manatee, nature's gentle lover, a.k.a. - the cheetah of the sea. Known for it's stealthy hunting skills and agility, the manatee stalks it's prey virtually undetected through the water. The manatee is also recognized for it's beautiful mating call. A cross between the lowing of a cow and the barking of a seal, the female manatee is wooed by this sweet song. The manatee pelt is highly sought after by upper class fashionistas and hunting enthusiasts alike; and in recent years, the manatee population has dwindled due to poaching. |

| Most people are unaware of this...but the manatee has an oily sheath that protects it from it's most feared predator - plankton. The manatee sheds this skin once a year, just before hibernation. From November to April, the manatee burrows into the mud at the bottom of the river where it feeds on it's own blubber. It emerges again in the Spring, with a fresh sheath and an appetite for seagulls and waste products (the main staple of the manatee's diet). The most intruiging aspect of the manatee's behaviour is it's mating habits. Rarely witnessed, it is believed the manatee has only a mere 2 inch penis..which it uses to render the female unconscious with repeated blows to the soft portion of the top of the skull. What happens after this is unknown, as the manatee stirs up the riverbed, creating a cloud of dust to distract enemies. |

Guessing you really like manatee's then, if you chat about them on other forums, and know EXACTLY where to find your words again, when they are mentioned here.
Scury. |

Well, it was a joke bewtween my friends and I after a weekend of partying a couple years ago. We sat around and kept making up stories about the manatee, talking like we were nature show hosts. One of those things that happens when you're tired and delerious. :p |
