Sea Cows Could Clear World Weeds If Breeding Improves
Boca Raton Florida AP reports on the sea cow or manatee as a potential natural weed eater. The animal eats 100 pounds daily, grows to 15 feet and a ton, and could improve navigation by clearing waterways if numbers rise. Current problems include hunting and poor reproduction. Studies in Florida and Egypt examine using manatees to control water hyacinth and weeds in canals, with breeding and cold-weather challenges delaying mass adoption.
