There was a manatee sighted in Memphis last winter in the Wolf River Harbor which empties into the Mississippi at the city's doorstep; it was sighted, identified, attempts were made to capture it all to no avail. It was found dead from the cold in a backwater in the harbour. Sad sight. A wandering manatee lost in the big Muddy and swimming, swimming to Memphis, then dying of the cold here. We've seen them and watched them in lower Fla and in Belize in a Refuge, been swimming with them in Belize. Wonderful, calm and peaceful creatures, but we're doing our best to rub'em out along the east coast of Fla as speed boaters and tourists chase'em down, chase'em away. Typical.
