An unnamed Nigerian fisherman is receiving praise for catching a Manatee, a huge sea mammal worth millions of naira.

A recent post shared on Facebook by Niger Delta Insider revealed that the celebration isn’t solely due to the man’s actions, but because of the rarity of such creatures in the community.
