    Oh wow, I totally read the parent comment as ‘manatees’, and was like, “Odd, never heard of that, but okay.”

    Then a dash of, “Holy shit, how’s this guy keeping manatees in a terrarium?”

      I am a fan of large aquaria, but hatching a cannibalistic manatee egg case in one sounds like a terrible way to become the guy in the math problem with a cart full of X cabbages and Y heads of lettuce if I bought an equal amount of each and spent $154.26 with an 8% tax if cabbages cost $2.23 and lettuce cost $3.98.

      I traveled to the largest land-based marine aquarium in the western hemisphere - 6 million gallons - and saw whale sharks.

      how’s this guy keeping manatees in a terrarium?”

      Rich people are weird.
