Some bloke's discovered a new mammal in Tanzania and despite being a land creature, it's a distant relative of the manatee. Thought you'd all want to know. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7213571.stmI think we should adopt it as the official STFC animal/mascot thing. Much better than a robin. And our nickname could be the "land manatees". |

that's no land manatee. In fact, the creature is more closely related to a group of African mammals, which includes elephants, sea cows, aardvarks and hyraxes, having shared a common ancestor with them about 100 million years ago.
"This is why they are also known as sengis," explained Dr Rathbun. Is too. |

it's a distant relative of the manatee It's not actually a land manatee per se just related to them. Come on you must have some stumpy cousins or something? |

There are lots of variety of land manatees.
This is clearly a long nosed land shrew manatee.
