2. Manatees

Manatees, also known as sea cows, are gentle herbivorous animals that graze on marine vegetation. They are found living in East Africa, South America, and in the Amazon. When these creatures were first discovered by sailors, their odd appearance made the sailors wonder that perhaps there was something quite mystical about them.

It is thought that manatees are the main cause of supposed mermaid sightings. Of course, manatees are just gentle, and somewhat loveable, animals that have no mystical properties at all. Their close cousins, the dugong, may also be responsible for some mistaken mermaid reports.
