Dugong You Were Wrong!

Well I am sure this will be the first of many lost arguments, but I technically lost an argument with Richie over the subject of Manatees. He has a nice little manatee stuffed animal which is obviously a manatee by looking at it. Some people also call Manatee's—Sea Cows and Dugongs. He has another stuffed animal which looks like a manatee except that it has a fluke like a whales tale. That is something I failed to note in my assessment of the little stuffed creature. Richie said "Daddy this can't be a manatee because it has a fluke." (Did I mention he was three) So I looked up Mantatee on the Internet and what he really has is a Steller's Sea Cow which has been extinct since 1768.

I thought it was a manatee which has a rounded tail and a slight different body. Very different to the close eye than Steller's Sea Cow.

So Richies's new saying for his Daddy is...Dugong You Were Wrong!
