"Sea cow" is another name for a manatee. The manatee is a gentle sea creature that was sometimes mistaken for a mermaid because of its long body and wide tail. They live in warm, shallow water, and are well known to Florida's coasts, where they are at risk from motorboats and other marine technology.

"See cow" is something you can do at a farm ;)

It's Sea Cow, because they live in the sea. They are mammals living in and around the sea.. like manatees, walruses, and seals. Type in Sea Cow in google and you should find lots of information.

Manatees (family Trichechidae, genus Trichechus) are large aquatic mammals sometimes known as sea cows. The name comes from the Spanish manatí, which itself comes from a Carib word meaning "breast."

The Trichechidae differ from the Dugongidae in the shape of the skull and the shape of the tail. Dugongs have a forked tail, similar in shape to a whale's, while manatees' tails are paddle-shaped. They are herbivores, spending most of their time grazing in shallow waters, and can weigh anywhere from 500 to 1000 kg.

Manatees inhabit the shallow, marshy coastal areas and rivers of the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico (T. manatus, West Indian manatee), the Amazon basin (T. inunguis, Amazonian manatee), and West Africa (T. senegalensis, African manatee). They spend half of their day sleeping in the water, surfacing for air every 20 minutes.
