Not that I am in anyway involved in your previous conversation,
but I do beleive that a manatee is also known as a sea cow,
and is akin to sea lions...Perhaps you were thinking of 'manta ray'
Which, you would be right, is very much like a sting ray.

Something like this, for a quick start (too bad the @'s make him look
blasted!)

Hope you take this post as a correction, and not a flame.

Egads!  You're correct...I did mistake the two of them.  My apologies to the
manatee guy himself for my blunder.  Thanks for the helpful reminder, Greg.  I
must really be studying too hard (yet still not enough...argh!).  See, I guess
not all of us know what a manatee is ;)

That's a nice picture, Greg!
I tried to add some whisker type things (do they have whiskers?) and attempted
to do something with the tusks.

FYI--Manatees do have a muzzle full of whiskers, but they do not have 
tusks.  They also have front flippers like a seal or walrus and a round
paddle for a tail.  Other than that I really can't describe them too
well...a manatee looks like a manatee.

Hope that helps.  :)
