"Male [Manatees] mate with females in a violent affair that resembles a gang rape"

[usestangerines]

I read an article in the NYTimes and now I know more than I've ever known about Manatees. For instance, manatees have toenails on their front flippers. They can also grasp things with their nose...area...like an elephant.

And, yes, apparently they have violent "gang rape"-like sex. The article didn't go into too much detail on that area.
