The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Conservation have launched an investigation after a manatee was seen on video with ‘TRUMP’ carved into its back.

The animal was found with the carving over the weekend in the Blue Hole on the Homosassa River, about 90 miles west of Orlando, Florida according to the Citrus County Chronicle. The manatee appears to be uninjured otherwise.
