manatee grass is received daily
from Florida to feed the COW. 1t
is seven feet long and weighs 700
pounds. 1t comes to the surface
to breathe and eats only vegetable
matter. The animals, which are
found mostly i'll Florida, migrate
yearly to the Amazon river where
they breed. In South American
countries they are sacred. There is
a legend there that young girls will
have their wishes granted if they
toss flowers ON the backs of the
mammals.
Although the manatee owned by
Mohenshell does not moo and can
not be MIXED, it is nevertheless
very tame and will eat from the

the only thing the sea COW is good
for, as far as he can see.
