* A sea cow is grey with thick skin. It moves in the water by using its flippers.
* The skins or hides of the sea cow were used by people in Bible times for making tents. These animal hides were also used in the coverings for the tabernacle.
* It was nicknamed "sea cow" because it eats grass like a cow, but it is not similar to a cow in other ways.
