Description
I would be highly surprised if this hasn't been done before, haha- Saw Bri-Chan's goldilocks manatee and this popped in.Very quick, fairly sloppy (awkward sea shells...), just for fun. Needed a break from illustration work and commissions for a little bit.
Sailors apparently were mistaking manatees for 'mermaids' back in the day... I find this extremely hard to believe.
Disclaimer: I in no way own Disney or 'The Little Mermaid', nor do I own the manatee... though if owning a manatee were at all possible, I would.

The Little Manatee manages to be both hilarious and adorable all at once. "Part of Your World" is going to have a whole new meaning after this!
Very funny stuff.

This is perfect! In fact, the original thought of mermaids were manatee's mistaken as women! I can't believe I found this! AWESOME!

LOL...this makes perfect sense. I read somewhere in Columbus's expedition to the Americas his crew wrote journal entries about seeing mermaids. Beautiful women with tails. A historian wrote in this article that the only explanation for this is that they saw manatees. My guess is that the crew was so poorly fed and dehydrated they saw Manatee's, and thought about beautiful women!

I told my friends that the idea of mermaids came from Manatees! And they only half believed me!

My lemonade came through my nose when I saw this, I laughed, my sister came in and said 'WTF are you laughin' about?', I pointed at the screen, a smile broke out on her face and she shouted, 'LEE(my bro) GET THE FUCK IN HERE!!'
You know this is good when I put a whole essay as a comment

We should advertise them like this to the younger generation so they are more inclined to save them. On a lighter note, this is so cute!

haha this is wonderful, I love the cute eyes and random whisker hairs XD
And you should get a manatee. *remembers going to the fair and joking that Crysolite should get a chicken or rooster*
