Poor Manny the Mantee. "Wet, dreary weather and a fast-rising river hampered efforts to locate the sea cow. Despite being about 8 feet long and slow-moving, it evaded helicopters equipped with infrared sensors and boats employing side-scanning sonar." Seriously? And y'all, they really are looking. I can see the helicopters from my office window. I'm even keeping one eye on the River in case I spot Manny myself. The good news is, the sun is coming out finally, and maybe the weather clearing up will make it easier. To find an 800 pound sea creature. In the Mississippi River.Update 4:18 pm: They gave up. They gave up! The sun came out, it cleared up, and they're giving up anyway. Poor Manny. Maybe he outsmarted them and headed back home on his own. Y'all cross your fingers that he'll find his way to warmer waters...

Hey. Saw your site around, and I gotta say… I love! I’m so linking it.
Maybe Manny will become Memphis's very own Loch Ness monster, only surfacing from time to time and becoming the stuff of legends. ;)
I love manatees. That is so cool that yall have one now.
My friends are in Memphis, gonna call em and see if they are going down to help look for him.
I hope he's OK! I have a stuffed manatee. I think they're so chill. They're just these large floating things.
