But it has become more common over the years. Word spreads like wild fire and it become a traffic jam problem. But I got to see them up close some time back!! |

Fifteen or more years ago a wayward manatee was sighted here in one of Memphis' small rivers leading into the Mississippi river. Don't remember what happened to it though. |

Unfortunately he died. When I lived in New Haven, CT, our local paper reported a beluga whale had been spotted in New Haven harbor. and other areas of Long Island Sound. It was hundreds of mile out of its traditional range. Big mistake in reporting a sighting. Some asshole(s) hunted it down and killed it for sport.  |

That's a violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Were they prosecuted? |
