The manatee looked down upon us with regal wisdom. The deep folds in its weathered skin, some natural, some long forgotten scars of a life lived in perpetual danger, lent an aura of hidden knowledge. This Manatee was here to teach us, or warn us, or provide one last chance to mend our ways.
The audience continued to grow throughout the day. Most people heard the shrill calls and attributed some positive environmental message. To me, they sounded like shrieks of fear.
Scientists were never able to satisfactorily explain how a manatee got stuck at the top of that tree.
