According to Wikipedia:
The name manatí comes from the Taíno, a pre-Columbian people of the Caribbean, meaning "breast".
I also learned that my doodle is physically inaccurate because "the females tend to be larger and heavier". Another little known (but sad) fact I learned is that "the current main threat to manatees in the United States is being struck by boats or slashed by propellers" because they inhabit shallow waters.
Now you know everything you need to know about manatees (but not my relationship).
