Answer to this week's riddle
Travis Hale Again, the riddle:
If a sailor hears a "siren song" it's probably coming from the only order of marine mammals that has strictly herbivorous members. Name the order. Answer: Order Sirenia – the manatees and dugongs. The fact that mermaid mythology probably grew up around sightings of these creatures makes me question exactly how long humans should be on boats.
