He is a rare flying manatee. Few are known to still exist. Often mistaken for flying pigs.

No doubt the feds will now declare everything in the manatee's path a protected wetland.

Since Bill Nelson is up in his pre-election polls, Harold Ford Jr. is importing a few voters for his much tighter Senatorial race.

Last summer a manatee swam up the Hudson, then turned around and went back south. They definitely seem to be considering their options.

Memphis authorities are trying to figure out how a manatee believed to be from Florida got so far up the Mississippi River.
How can I combine Aggressive Tropical African Cichlids with Passive Coldwater Chinese Goldfish in my aquarium?
Because these creatures don't always follow the rules that "we" impose on them.
If they did all the time, that would make them as capable of thought as we are.
Call Memphis Authorities-I figured it out for them.

I'm surprised it's doing so well considering the cooler weather. They have close to zero body fat.

It's all part of a super-secret Family Guy script the manatees are working on.

Dang! I swear we do our best to keep these cows coralled, but sometimes they get out and go sight-seeing.
Could you please send it back?

Gonzo. I've lived in FL before. Wild horses couldn't get me back. But thanks for the offer ;-)
(Not saying I'm fond of IL either. And not real sure how it is I wound up here. But I'm here and probably not going anywhere........)
