Secrets & Variations:
A family of manatees find some aquatic plants for lunch,
despite the pollution that threatens their habitat.
Along with the bottles and cans is a boat propeller,
representing one of the greatest dangers to these slow-moving
animals: speed boats. The top manatee bears the scars
of such an encounter. V.V. inscribed on a rock stands
for Victorian Village, a U.S. House of Lords dealer
who took Peter Calvesbert to the Lowry Park Zoo to visit
the manatees during his 2002 tour. The signature mouse
peeks out from a fore-flipper (be careful not to confuse
him with the fish!). The interior of the Version One
shows a baby manatee (362 pieces worldwide show the
baby with a bottle; 2138 pieces worldwide do not have
a bottle). The Version Two interior shows a manatee
shaving its short, stiff bristles.
