On average, a manatee feasts on 100-200 pounds of soggy, sandy sea grasses and weeds every day. The hearty herbivore grazes up to seven hours a day, consuming an amount of food equal to 10%-15% of its body weight.

Add water to a depth of 1 inch, and bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes or until tender-when you can pierce the squash easily with a small knife. (You can also microwave the squash at high 10 to 15 minutes.) Let the squash cool, then scoop the pulp out with a spoon, and mash the pulp with a potato masher. One pound uncooked butternut squash will yield about 1 cup mashed.
