Several times in the past week, an enormous manatee has been spotted frolicking in the Hudson River only a few short yards from the coast of Manhattan. A couple of minutes ago, I received an email from my friend and fellow Irregular, DeeDee Morlock, who says she witnessed the great beast as he swam past her townhouse on 106th Street.

She was pleased to discover it was a manatee, which are far rarer than corpses in the rivers around New York.
I wish I had been there to see it!
