"Also known as sea cows, these herbivores enjoy lives as uneventful as their land-based bovine counterparts: Because they consume plants living in the intertidal zone, they have no need to dive to great depths in search of food so the waters they most inhabit are shallow and warm. And they are so large that they are not threatened by any other animals, except tiger sharks which only occasionally venture into shallow water..." Rachel Sullivan
Sailors may have seen sea cows and thought "mermaids," but only if they were hallucinating!
