— Sincerely Steller’s Sea Cow

Before them

I lived from the Pleistocene through the Modern Period

But my presence is still felt

Manatee Manatee why you steal my looks?

I am mute…

…But my hearing is off the charts!

Slow

Gentle

Giant

swimming…swimming…swimming

The cold does not bother me

I was made for this.

Hunters

More Hunters

Too many Hunters

I was not made for this.

Must protect the young

Must protect mates.

Why us?

…Too late
