Steller’s Sea Cows Reached 30 Feet Long And Once Swam The Frigid Northern Pacific Ocean, But The Species Was Driven To Extinction By Humans Hunting For Fur

Living in a sub-Arctic environment caused the sea cows to evolve to have large horny pads for eating kelp instead of teeth.

Their bones grew denser to help with buoyancy, and they had a transparent third eyelid to protect their eyes underwater.

The Steller’s sea cow serves as an important reminder of the significance of human impact on the environment. By honoring the sea cow’s memory, we can prevent the future extinction of other sea creatures.
