Wir haben leider gestern erst sehr spät gemerkt, dass "Manatee Appreciation Day" war. Zu der Zeit war unsere Freundin Mañana, die Seekuh, schon sehr müde. Deswegen feiern wir heute nach. Es gibt heiße Schokolade mit Glitzer und #kekf
Als Abendprogramm hat sich Mañana den Film "Der Teufel trägt Prada" gewünscht, nachdem das heute die Lösung im Radioquiz und sie entsetzt war, dass ihn keiner von uns Walis kennt.
Sie sagt, das sei eine Bildungslücke.

Aww, yesterday was #ManateeAppreciationDay? Well, around here that’s everyday.

To celebrate, please enjoy these perfect floatato hanging with some turts at a local fish museum.

"They didn't have any big animals, except for manatees." - MICHAEL TWITTY, A Quick History Of American Barbecue, The Sporkful #pasta #ManateeAppreciationDay #MichaelTwitty

Few creatures better embody the notion of peaceful coexistence than the manatee. Slow-moving and largely indifferent to human affairs, these aquatic herbivores graze on seagrasses and algae in the shallow coastal waters of the Americas and West Africa. Yet despite their unassuming nature, manatees are increasingly at the mercy of human activity.

The last Wednesday in March is #ManateeAppreciationDay!

There are only four remaining species in the Sirenia order, and all are endangered. Their long reproductive cycles and loss of habitat have pushed them to the brink of extinction, but efforts are being made to bolster their numbers.

A large manatee floats submerged in clear water with the sun shining down through the surface of the water. The text outlines some trivia about manatees, their symbolism, and ways you can use their energy in your magickal practice. Presented by Inked Goddess Creations.

I finally finished it! New art alert!! 🎨🖌️

I'm calling this repeating pattern Manatee Fantasy, and it's available for purchase as lots of cool apparel and household items on RedBubble https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/159855861?ref=studio-promote and for the DIY crowd it's available as fabric and wallpaper on Spoonflower https://www.spoonflower.com/designs/16825599-manatee-fantasy-by-crystalleigh

I had a lot of fun making this and learned a lot of new things. This was of course inspired by my visits to Florida and the Manatee Viewing Center run by Tampa electric. 🐟 Protect our waters and the amazing wildlife that calls them home. 🌊

Digital art of manatees swimming on a background of light teal and sand. It's a seamless repeating tile. The manatees are all very toony and seem friendly and playful..there's fish and seagrass in the spaces between the manatees.

The manatees pattern from the first image applied to a clock with a wood frame and blue clock hands. It's a stock image from RedBubble

A stock photo from RedBubble of the pattern applied to a shower curtain in front of a white porcelain tub with a gold shower curtain rod.

RT by @EU_ENV: Happy #ManateeAppreciationDay!

These slow-moving marine mammals, also known as sea cows, can be found in coastal environments.

They are under threat from habitat destruction and climate change, so we want to raise awareness about the importance of 🌍 manatee conservation.

For #ManateeAppreciationDay:

1. original watercolor by Joseph Wolf (German, 1820-1899) for ZSL, 1879 https://z10300uk.eos-intl.eu/Z10300UK/OPAC/Details/Record.aspx?BibCode=8868360
2. published version, plate 7 in Biologia Centrali-Americana, 1879-1882 https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/570882

🆔Manatee, likely West African Manatee (Trichechus senegalensis); Kingfisher, likely Giant Kingfisher (Megaceryle maxima)

"Watercolour on paper, in window mount ; art - 35 x 27 cm., mount - 57.5 x 44.5 cm.
Signed by artist in black paint in lower right corner: 'J. Wolf. 1879'."
"Mss title in ink & pencil, in unidentified handwriting, on label pasted on mount: 'Manatee (Manatus americanus) from a specimen living in the Westminster Aquarium 1879. See PZS 1879'."
"Wolf's painting shows 2 animals underwater feeding on aquatic vegetation. In the background is a kingfisher [ID'd as a Giant Kingfisher, Megaceryle maxima] perched on reeds."

"According to the caption the painting was made of an animal living in Westminster Aquarium. A manatee - said to be Manatus americanus - was living in the Westminster Aquarium in 1879 & a note about it by Dr James Murie was published in 'PZS' 1879 : 552. This refers to Murie's forthcoming paper on that manatee based on observations of the great mobility of the upper lip & use of the limbs in feeding when it was living in the Aquarium & brain structure (after it died). This paper was published : Murie, J. (1880) 'Further observations on the manatee', 'TZS' 11 : 19-48 5 pls (by C. Berjeau). On p. 21-23 Murie states the adult female manatee was caught in a net on the Dauntless Bank, off the Island of Lequana, near the mouth of the Essiquibo River, British Guiana, taken to London & purchased by the Aquarium in June 1878. It died on 15 March 1879. Wolf's painting is [therefore] presumably of the West African manatee, Trichechus senegalensis." (via ZSL Library catalog)

On this #ManateeAppreciationDay I was surprised to find out no one used the hashtag #ohthehugemanatee
