Mohmoo the Sea Cow hesitated for only half a second before making the most correct decision.
It shut its eyes and treated itself like a salted fish drifting with the current, letting itself fall completely into the sea.
Yet after this "unconscious" sea cow fell into the water, it not only failed to float back up, but continued sinking deeper and deeper toward the seabed in a peculiar posture while "unconscious."
