66-year-old-manatee-snooty-466-year-old-manatee-snooty-266-year-old-manatee-snooty-13
Snooty, a manatee raised in captivity since 1948, currently resident at South Florida Museum’s Parker Manatee Aquarium, turned 66 this week. In the wild, manatees rarely live past 30 and many don’t make it to 10, regularly dying from injuries inflicted by boat propellors.

Snooty eats 70-80lbs of lettuce, carrots, kale, cabbage, bok choy, broccoli and other assorted vegetables every day, which his keepers suggest has contributed to his remarkable flatulence longevity.
