The only thing missing is the aroma. Perhaps next year someone can invent smello-vision?

quicklist: 7title: Manaphin Sighting in Floridatext: Officials from the St. Petersburg/Clearwater tourism office announced sightings of a "Manaphin" off the coast of Florida on Tuesday. But the mythical dolphin-manatee hybrid was spotted just in time for April Fool's Day, leading many to question whether the press release was a gag.

It is. But it's a fun one.

In the tourism office's release, scientists describe the creature as bearing a "resemblance to both the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus)" and credit a traveling kayaker from Chicago for spotting it while it came above water.

"I've seen both manatees and dolphins many times," said the 34-year old Chicagoan in the release. "But this was different -- the thing moved like a dolphin but had the head of a manatee. It was pretty cool."

Even marine mammal trainer John Widick of the Clearwater Marine Aquarium contributed a quote to add heft to the release's claim, stating: "To have a sighting of one of these hybrid mammals anywhere is an extraordinary thing, but to have sighting of one this far up in the Gulf of Mexico is truly remarkable and speaks to the cleanliness of the waters in the Gulf of Mexico -- and the fact that mother nature has the final say in whether something is extinct."
