Silly manatee, The Hudson isn't for manatees, you belong in Florida, better start heading home quick or you'll be in for a rude awakening in a few months!
I totally thought of you Bearette when I read this on NYT online last night...I wondered if you'd post about it. When I was in London in January, they had some whales in the Thames!
The hudson is nowhere near toxic. When I was growing up, well, that's another story. But towns like Rhinebeck still and always have gotten their drinking water directly from the Hudson. Heck, I swam in it all the time until I moved. All the same, the manatee really should enlist the aid of a travel agent and book a first class flight home...

That's CRAZY! I'm surprised it's even survived. Isn't the Hudson all full of contamination?!
Awww.. i'm with you New Mezger! I love them too! (But I love penguins also). I have a pair of manatee earring studs that I bought a long time ago and I will hopefully give them to my daughter one day. I used to do most of my school reports on endagered manatees (I lived in FL at the time so I was obsessed with them). yes, B, they are known as 'sea cows' or the 'gentle giants of the sea.' I *heart* them.

i believe he swam up to westchester county. this is reassuring b/c it means the hudson is not as toxic as i feared.
What have we done to our planet?!
