Book Information
As diver, announcer, trainer and eventual manager of the Miami Seaquarium, Warren Zeiller knows the unique creatures that inhabit the waters off Florida. Most unusual of all is the sea cow, or manatee. A warm blooded, plant eating, Cadillac-sized gentle giant, the manatee is in danger of extinction from the hazards of man--foremost among them over-population, pollution and power boats. In this ode to the warm whiskered creatures, Zeiller pleads the case for coexistence.
