While travelling with the explorer Vitus Bering in 1741, a naturalist Georg Steller discovers an amusing defenseless mammal near the Asiatic coast of the Bering Sea. It is a sea cow. The animal looks somewhat like a large seal, but has two stout forelimbe and a whole-like tail. The sea cow grows up to 7.9 metres long and weighs up to three tons. According to Steller, the animal never comes out on shore but always lies in the water. Its skin is black and thick and its head is small in proportion to the body. Sea cows' habitat stretches along the North Pacific coast to Japan and California. Scientists suppose that the arrival of humans is the cause of their extinction. People hunt sea cows for their meat. The animals die out within 27 years of their discovery.
