Indeed, a manatee.  Accuracy is, obviously, not the goal of the =
commercial.

     Have you seen the odd commercial for a premium credit card that's =
been running on CBC TV lately? I usually see it during The National =
after 10 PM.=20
     The commercial shows a couple of vacationers observing a dolphin =
performing all kinds of tricks. The voiceover is that it is a young =
dolphin. Then it shows a wrinkled "old dolphin," that doesn't perform =
any tricks. It is motionless and just looks out of the water.=20
     The voiceover implies that this "old dolphin" is boring as it =
doesn't do any tricks. Except that the "old dolphin" looks very much =
like a manatee to me...
