Where's Mr. Aitken...clue number 2!

Read Now

The students and I spent Monday morning learning to snorkel in a magnitude 2, fresh water spring. We learned about indigenous species found in the area. In the afternoon we visited an animal hospital that specializes in caring for a particular marine mammal. This mammal lives in both fresh and salt water. It usually feeds on vegetation found at the mouth of rivers. This is a very large marine animal. Are you getting any closer to guessing where I am? What guesses do you have and what reasons do you have those guesses?

Mr Aitken I think you are in Florida because Manatees live in both fresh and salt water and because the picture you have posted looks like a marsh and according to google Florida has alligators in the state and alligators live in swamps and marshes.

I think the mammal might be a dolphin because they can live in fresh or saltwater or it might be a whale because whales can sometimes travel in freshwater but they don't stay for long and return back to the ocean. Now I think he might be in Florida because there is a dolphin and whale hospital there.

My guess is that Mr. Aitken is in Florida because Florida is at least 1700 miles away, it has a lot of marine animals, and it is surrounded by water.
My guess is that the animal is a alligator because it can live on both land and freshwater.

My prediction the West Indian manatee, because it lives in salt and freshwater, about 10 feet long, and it is a herbivore.
My other prediction about the place you are in is still Florida because at the University of Florida, the Veterinary Medicine part studies manatees.

I think the animal you saw was a big,fat hippopotamus because it's spends time inhabiting different types of bodies of water and it is a herbivore. :)

You were in a fresh water spring teaching your pupils to snorkel. :)

I think you are in Miami because Miami has a lot of beaches and lots of water. I think mammal you are talking about is a dolphin because dolphins live in fresh water and salt water.

I thinks Mr.Aitken is at Everglades National park Florida because it has both salt and fresh water.
The animal I think its a west Indian manatee because its swims in salt water and walks on land.They also eat sea grass and that their major food source.

I still think you are in Pensacola,Florida because there are many beaches near there. I think the animal that you saw was a manatee because they match your description.

I think the animal you saw was a sea otter because it spends its time in fresh and salt water.

I think you are near a river with fresh water and a large mammal and a animal hospital that specializes in caring for a particular marine animal. The state that I think that you are in is Tallahassee, Florida.

I think your very large marine animal is a sea turtle! I think you are in Marathon,Florida. There is a very nice turtle hospital in Marathon, Florida.

I still think you are in South Carolina because it is 1700 miles from Arizona.I think the animal is a dolphin because it can live in both fresh and saltwater.

1) I believe you are in Florida and your animals are manatees because they can live in freshwater and saltwater, feed on seagrass, are quite large, and sometimes live in springs

Matthew Mayemura

I think that he is in Pensacola,Florida because it is 1699 miles away and the Florida Manatee lives along the coast, and can live in both salt and fresh water.

I think you are in Hawaii because Hawaii has lots of freshwater in aquariums and saltwater at beaches. I think the animal is a walrus because walrus could live in saltwater.

I'll take a guess it is a sea lion. Because it lives in both fresh and salt water. I think your at Florida right now. Because if you move 1700 miles you'll be in Florida.

Melissa Nguyen

I think the animal you are talking about is a Dolphin because it lives in salt and fresh water. And I think you are in Florida because you were in Phoenix, Arizona then you flew 1,700 miles to place where there is a beach.

I think you were at Blue Spring in Florida because there's a lot of snorkeling. The animal? I don't know, but I think it's a manatee because they're big and stuff.

MANATEE: SALT WATER

Ryan Chau

6/20/2012 04:11:24 am

I think the marine animal is a manatee because manatees graze on seaweed and other vegetables underwater. I also believe that you're in the state of Florida because some manatees can be found off the coast of Florida.

Matthew Chan

The animals he are researching are manatees. The manatee fits all clues because it is large and can live in fresh and salt water.
He is in Florida because manatees live in Florida.

kevin wong

I think that it may be a manatee

Alex Martinez

I think you're in Florida because it has a beach and is about 1700 miles from Phoeix
and the marine animal you are talking about is a manatees

Benson Wan

I think the animal you saw might be a manatee because it can live in both fresh and salt water, plus it is a herbivore so that means it eats plant which is vegetation. I think you are in Florida because manatees are in Florida. It's on the coast and Florida is about 1,700 miles from Phoenix.

Sebastian Chen

I think you are in Georgia,Savannah because it is near a beach and about 1500 miles.
.The animal might be a stingray or manatees it can live in both fresh and salt water.

Marvin Chau

6/20/2012 04:17:32 am

I think that the animal is a manatee. They are marine animals that can live in both salt water and fresh water.

I think that you are in Florida because there are beaches and coasts in those areas.

Wesley Wong

1.Manatee, because it can live in both salt and fresh waters.Also,the manatee is a herbivore.
2.I think you're in Florida, because the manatee lives in the freshwaters that are in Florida

Andrew Paulino

I think that the animal you saw was a manatee, because it is both freshwater and salty,it is also an herbivore.

The state is Florida because Florida has many reefs and body's of water and is a perfect destination for snorkeling!

Raymond Lee

I think the mammal is a manatees because manatees live in fresh water springs. I think that your at Florida because your picture looks like a swamp and Florida has swamps.

Peter Khant

I think the marine animal that can live in fresh and saltwater is a manatee. A manatee is a herbivore and is also a marine animal who eats sea-grass leaves which is a type of vegetation. I think you are in Alabama to do summer sightings on manatees because they live in coastal areas around where you are in the summer.

Bailey Deng

I think you saw a marine animal called a Manatee, because it's a big marine animal and lives both in fresh and saltwater.

You should be in Florida since it's a good place to snorkel. It has many reefs and ocean environments, so yeah.

Daniel Ip

I think that the marine mammal is a manatee because it can live in freshwater and saltwater at the same time. Also, the manatee eats aquatic vegetation. I think that Mr. Aitken is in Florida because it is about 1,700 miles from Phoenix, Arizona and is surrounded by the sea.

Zachary Norman

1. The name of the animal Mr. Aitken described is the Manatee because the manatee is a large marine animal that is a vegetarian that lives in both fresh water and salt water.
2. The name of the state Mr. Aitken and his class are in is Florida because it fits the picture you took on this post (the swamp) and it fits the description you gave in clue number 1.

I think you are at Crystal Spring, Florida studying Florida Manatees. I think the manatee is the animal because it is large, eats veggies, lives in salt and fresh water depending on the time of year. You are at Florida because manatees are always living in Florida and 1700 miles away from Arizona, can also be Florida.

Helen Luu

6/20/2012 04:26:05 am

I think the animal is the manatee because after researching I found out that manatees reside in Florida,they feed on plants,they live in both saltwater and freshwater,and they are large marine animals.So,I think you're in Florida because they also help treat manatees in Florida.

Bianca Cruz

I think you were studying sting rays. You could also be studying a specific type of eel. I did some research and I found out that eels and sting rays can live in freshwater and salt water but a few can't. I think you're in Mobile Bay because it's near Saint Elmo airport.

Darin Pinedo

6/20/2012 04:43:38 am

I think you are in Florida because it is close to water.

I think the animal you described is a stingray because it can live in salt water and in fresh water.
