Swimming with manatees

摘要

There are unexpected penis when you dive into the water with a bunch of large aquatic mammals - you can't stop laughing. Sanjida O'Connell dons her snorkel to get a clearer view of Florida's manatees. IN YEARS GONE BY, sailors believed that manatees were mermaids,. All I can say is that, after months of eating only ships' biscuits and staring at the sea, their brains must have become addled. These 'mermaids' growto three metres long and weigh a blubbery tonne, so how anyone could have confused them with women - albeit women with fish's tails - beats me. Manatees are from the order Sirenia (Greek for sea cow), which is a little more accurate because these enormous vegetarians generally bumble around in shallow seas slurping little else but seagrass.
