cool

Sea cow?

Most of these sea creatures are tasteless.
I remember buying a baby shark at Ibeju Lekki, after all the fun fare it wasn't that delicious.

Nothing beats fresh water fishes and animals

Re: Manatee: This Creature Was Killed In Badagry Yesterday. Who Knows The Name? by Kelvin30286063(m): 12:49pm On Sep 17, 2021
It's either a sea elephant or a sea cow. The mouth area will tell. If it has a small trunk then it's a sea elephant, if it has a mouth like cow then you know the answer. I should also point out that there are sea dogs, sea lions too. But both are not as big as this.
But honestly you should be arrested for killing an endangered species. Those animals are almost extinct so it's a crime to kill them in a society that works but of course Nigeria is not one of such. And you can't even say it's about to attack you cuz they can't hurt anything!

12 MANATEE FACTS YOU MAY NOT KNOW
Do you know what manatees eat or how fast they can swim? Learn all about manatees with these 12 surprising facts and details.
Share >>
Manatees are a truly unique species to observe and we are lucky to have these gentle giants swimming through our waterways in Citrus County, Florida. Learn more about one of the world’s most majestic sea creatures with these twelve interesting manatee facts below:

1. We’re The Manatee Capital of The World
Citrus County is known as the “Manatee Capital of the World,” and it is one of the only places in Florida where you can swim with manatees! Our local guides are knowledgeable about how to respectfully and carefully share the water with these inspiring creatures.

2. There Are Three Different Species
There are three main species of manatees, including West Indian, West African, and Amazonian. The manatees found in Florida’s waterways are West Indian.

3. Manatees Love Warm Water
Manatees cannot survive in water temperatures below 60 degrees, that is why they migrate from the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico to natural springs in Florida during the winter months.

4. Manatees Are Known As “Sea Cows”
Manatees are also known as “Sea Cows” because they move slowly, are very peaceful, eat only plants, and their babies are called “calves.”

5. Manatees Descended from Land Mammals
Manatees are thought to have evolved from four-legged mammals. Their closest relatives are actually elephants!

6. Manatees Are As Heavy As A Grand Piano
Grand pianos weigh-in at about 900 pounds and by comparison, manatees weigh between 800 and 1,200 pounds. At birth, manatees weigh around 66 pounds.

7. Is It A Manatee or Mermaid?
The idea of a half-human half-sea creature had been circulating for thousands of years among ancient civilizations. When sailing to North America, Christopher Columbus is reported to have seen a female form in the water. He thought it was a mermaid, but in reality, it was a manatee surfacing.

8. Manatees Like to Eat!
Manatees eat about 10 to 15 percent of their body weight each day. It takes them about 7 hours per day to graze on food.

9. Manatees Only Breath Every Few Minutes
These creatures are very solitary and spend about half of their day sleeping submerged. When resting, they only come up for air about every 20 minutes. When active, they will surface for air every three to five minutes. A manatee’s single breath can replace up to 90 percent of the air in its lungs. By comparison, one breath will only replace about 10 percent of the air in a human’s lungs.

10. Manatees Are Slow Movers
Manatees generally swim at a rate of 3 to 5 mph. By comparison, a Roomba vacuum cleaner tops out at speeds of 3.8 mph. Manatees can use their tails to swim in bursts of up to 15 mph too.

11. Manatees Are Protected By Law
There are fewer than 6,000 manatees in the world. In 2016, due to improvements in their population health, manatees were updated from “endangered” to “threatened.” Manatees are protected from being hunted or captured by U.S. law.

12. Manatees Communicate With Each Other
Manatees communicate using clicks, chirps, squeaks, squeals, and screams that are audible to humans. Even though they are known as “sea cows,” they do not moo.

If you’d like to meet and learn more about manatees while you’re here, then check out our guide to swimming with manatees in Crystal River. There are so many fun things to do in Citrus County, so start planning your getaway with us today!

It's called Manatee. It's always found in fresh water region.
It's a herbivore.
I ate the meat a very long time ago.
The Pomo is so thick.
It's quite delicious but a rare protein
Research shows that they are mostly found around Oguta lake in Imo State.
