Manatee Captured After Desperate Struggle at Laguna Madre
Mexican fishermen chased a giant manatee in shallow Laguna Madre waters near Port Isabel Texas. Ramon Rodriguez was injured by a flipper but the sea cow, weighing over 8,000 pounds and 12 feet long, was towed ashore amid broad public interest. The creature, common 150 to 200 miles south, feeds in salt or fresh water and often travels with sea devils. The report also notes a separate accident in Hard Luck Davenport where C W Eaton halted a runaway team after a dramatic rescue requiring his life-risking jump.
