Snooty, who has been cared for by the South Florida Museum since he arrived in Manatee County in 1949, has greeted more than two million visitors in his lifetime and is the official mascot of Manatee county. Snooty has helped foster 28 sick and injured manatees to be safely returned to the wild in addition to being a major source of new information on his species.
