Florida Manatee Dies From Injuries After Having “Intense Sex” With His Brother

I love Manatees! My first time seeing one was at the Coffee Pot Bayou in St.Petersburg. Very sad to hear the passing of  Hugh who was a beloved manatee that lived in Sarasota. That's right a Florida Manatee is dead after having  "intense sex" with his brother. Hugh and his brother lived at the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium.

The USDA released a necropsy report which stated that Hugh's fatal injury was a 14.5-centimeter rip in his colon, which was caused by a sexual encounter with his brother who was much larger. Workers at the aquarium reportedly observed high-intensity sexual behavior between the adult male manatees back on April 29th. After the Manatees first encounter, researchers found blood in Hugh's colon, but the 2 manatees kept going at it throughout the day. On the last encounter, the brothers had intercourse and sadly Hugh was found unresponsive at the bottom of the pool.

The USDA says the aquarium failed to protect Hugh before his death, but the facility feels other wise. The aquarium says sex between Hugh and Buffett was natural and they were mutually seeking interactions on the day Hugh died. The facility says Hugh showed no signs of discomfort or distress.Veterinarians instructed the handlers to try to distract the manatees from sex rather than separate them. They believed that separating them might cause stress and anxiety. Hugh and Buffett lived together for 27 years in the same pool, and were the only manatees in the aquarium.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree with the USDA? If Hugh was having problems with his colon, then maybe they should have been separated? The two clearly could not stop going at it, so separating them may have been the solution. Im not A veterinarian though, so I can't say what would have been the right solution.
