manati
(gcide) | manatee \man`a*tee"\, n. [Sp. manat['i], from the native name in
Haiti. Cf. Lamantin.] (Zool.)
Any species of Trichechus, a genus of sirenians; -- called
also sea cow. [Written also manaty, manati.]
[1913 Webster]
Note: One species (Trichechus Senegalensis) inhabits the
west coast of Africa; another (Trichechus Americanus)
inhabits the east coast of South America, and the
West-Indies. The Florida manatee ({Trichechus
latirostris}) is by some considered a distinct species,
by others it is thought to be a variety of {Trichechus
Americanus}. It sometimes becomes fifteen feet or more
in length, and lives both in fresh and salt water. It
was hunted for its oil and flesh, and every species is
now an endangered species.

radium emanation
(gcide) | Radon \Ra"don\ (r[=a]"d[o^]n), n. (Chem.)
An intensely radioactive gaseous element produced by the
radioactive decay of radium-226, which is the main isotope of
radium found in pitchblende. Chemically it is an inert noble
gas. Its atomic symbol is Rn. It has an atomic number of 86.
The radon isotope produced by decay of radium has an atomic
weight of 222.017, and this isotope decays by alpha emission
with a half-life of 3.82 days. Numerous other isotopes have
been observed, all radioactive and all having half-lives
shorter than that of radon-222. Radon was discovered by M.
and Mme. Curie, of Paris, in their studies of the radioactive
substances in pitchblende. Radon was originally called
radium emanation or exradio.
