Manatee Scouts Rhode Island

A manatee scout for the animal uprising has been spotted off the coast of Rhode Island.

The manatee was seen Sunday in Greenwich Bay off the coast of Warwick. The large marine mammals are usually found only in the warm waters of Florida and the Carolinas.

DEM dispatcher Michael Mahoney said the manatee seen in Rhode Island appeared healthy.

It is not known whether the manatee is the same one seen earlier this month near Manhattan Island in New York. That manatee was tracked as it swam north along the coasts of Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey.

We will point out that we have been warning about these creatures. They are only pretending to be gentle. The sharks get all the blame!
