The Steller’s sea cow once inhabited the North Pacific and Arctic oceans before its extinction in 1768. This massive sirenian, relative to the dugong and manatee, reached lengths of nearly 8 meters (25 feet). According to accounts from naturalist Georg Wilhem Steller, the animal fed primarily on kelp near the shoreline.
Hunters and fur traders targeted the species for its meat, fur and blubber, which led to is rapid disappearance within 27 years of its discovery.
