Snooty, the local celebrity and mascot of the Bradenton Area in Florida, officially recognised by the Guinness World Records as the oldest living manatee in captivity. According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (which monitors the manatee population), deaths of manatees in the wild are typically being documented before 15 years of age on average. Meaning Snooty is a pretty impressive manatee!
