Manatees are cool. They and their cousins, the dugong, are thought to be what spawned the mermaids myth! In fact, the Malay word for mermaid is 'duyong', where the name for the animal came from.<br /><br />J.C.

My husband told me he killed quite a few when he was a boy because they used to eat his chickens. We have also lost a lot of iguanas.

The mongooses in the VI are not as common a sight as they once were either. I don't know why their numbers seem to have declined (not that I mind) but you'd think with all the feral chickens there'd be plenty of food for them. Now we have a lot of iguanas which weren't so prevalent when I was a kid.Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4137802664622571509.post-49080302727614400662012-04-15T12:11:32.614-05:002012-04-15T12:11:32.614-05:00Medeia, it's possible you've come across h...Medeia, it's possible you've come across him because he has been given several international awards and had strong veiws on Apartheid. <br /><br />Hope you're enjoying the weekend too.J.L.

All they were about was to get a better standard of life for the ordinary man. I guess it was easy to be hundreds of miles away in England and make judgements without seeing the lay of the land. Thank goodness for people like Knibb who had access and made the facts known in Parliament way back then.J.L.
