Model of indigenous people hunting a manatee for its meat and bones in a mangrove swamp, in the Museo del Hombre Dominicano, founded in 1973 and designed by Jose Antonio Caro Alvarez, on the Plaza de la Cultura in the Colonial Zone, in Santo Domingo, capital of the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean. Columbus confused this animal with a mermaid, calling it a sea cow in Montecristi in 1493. The manatees are now endangered and protected. The museum houses collections on the culture of the Precolumbian Taino people. Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
