Manatee, species open

Community identificationResearch: October 11, 2026

Manatees are mentioned in community and animal lists; however, there is no definitive photographic evidence of their existence.

THE RECEIPT

What we know.

Review and classification

GTADB describes animals identified as manatees in a water photograph next to an airboat. We were unable to reliably confirm this specific identification during our image review. Therefore, the entry documents the statement of the linked source and remains a community-based attribution.

The image is an original illustration of a manatee and not a game image. No official species confirmation, precise subspecies, or rules of engagement are provided.

That's how we classify it.

Community attribution is not official confirmation. A visible object does not automatically prove its usability or final name.
