Description
The manatee (above) is a cousin of the dugong. A keeper pulls Ferdinand out of the tank to clean the enclosure. Note the wide, flat tail of the manatee. Ferdinand's first portrait is snapped as he is pulled out of the water by his keeper. Manatees' features are supposedly the basis for some mermaid legends. (Animals - Manatee)
