Sea cows (aka) Manatee is a mammal that was discovered in 1741 and became extinct in 1768, it is one of the few megafaunal mammal species to of died out during the historical period.


The presence of steller's sea cows in the Aleut people to migrate westword to hunt them. This most possibly lead to there extinction in that area. They seemed to float to the surface of water, but had little ability to submerge and Therefore they were easy targets for harpooning by hunters. The sea cow was used supply for russion seal hunters with prized meat, the large sealife manatee has a head shaped like an egg, flippers, flippers and a flat tail. Sea cows are
herbivores. They feed on a wide variety of submerged, emerged, floating and shoreline vegetation.


The sea cow is friendly to humans and enjoy interacting with us. Although called Sea cows they are actually related to elephants, with their large stomachs and fat blubber they weigh up to an astonishing 450 kgs. The adaptation of Sea cows over the small amount of time they were around had to have evolved by the females producing more of their species. By using their mating technique, the males will form a so called herd in which up to a dozen will gather and form a huddle around a single female in an attempt to mate with her. No tusks or claws are found on the body of a male Sea cow so this act of competition to get the females attention consists of pushing and shoving.


In conclusion the now extinct steller's sea cow were a very fascinating creature and a very unique species that has adapted over time.
