There's been a possible sighting of a manatee in Pembrokeshire, in West Wales. A woman saw a strange creature on the slipway at Hobbs Point, Pembroke Dock, which fits the description of a manatee, or sea-cow. The creatures are usually found in the Caribbean, and in West African waters. Francis Bunker, a Pembrokeshire-based marine biologist, says a manatee could easily have been carried to the Pembrokeshire coast by the Gulf Stream. I wonder if it will make its way south to Gower, or Swansea Bay? I'd love to see one of those huge, but apparently harmless creatures. There's more about this story over at Phantoms and Monsters.
