Snooty is the oldest living manatee born and raised in a man-made environment. Born July 21, 1948, Snooty is Manatee County's (Florida) official mascot.
The manatee. I love 'em and collect all things manatee. Don't ask me why. I know they aren't the most attractive creatures out there! But I've been interested in them ever since my first visit to Florida in 1995. In fact I just recently "adopted" a manatee and I'm waiting for my packet in the mail from http://www.savethemanatee.org/
