Snooty, a legendary manatee known as the world’s oldest, has died in an apparent underwater accident at the Florida facility where he had lived since 1949, officials said Sunday. Snooty’s death came just a day after the official mascot of Manatee County, Fla., celebrated his 69th birthday with a cake made of fruit and vegetables. South Florida Museum officials tweeted that the two events “are unrelated.”
