You can lead a manatee to water but can construction workers make her swim?
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating the harassment of a manatee discovered with the word "Trump" etched into its back, officials said Monday.
Hailey Warrington found the manatee swimming on Sunday in the Blue Hole headwaters in North Florida. The defacement "is just disturbing. One hundred percent disturbing," she said.
The president's last name may have been written in algae on the marine mammal's back, the Center for Biological Diversity told USA TODAY on Monday night, an act prohibited under the Endangered Species Act.
