	Steller's Sea Cow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steller's Sea Cow (Hydrodamalis gigas) is an extinct large sirenian mammal formerly found near the Asiatic coast of the Bering Sea.
		It was discovered in the Bering Strait in 1741 by the naturalist Georg Steller, who was traveling with the explorer Vitus Bering.
		They were wiped out quickly by the sailors, seal hunters, and fur traders that followed Bering's route past the islands to Alaska, who hunted them both for food and for their skins, which were used to make boats.

	Recently Extinct Animals - Steller's Sea Cow - Hydrodamalis gigas
		During the months that Steller and the other survivors of Bering's crew spent on what would later be named Bering Island, Steller was able to gather considerable information on the habits of the Stelller's Sea Cow as well as an extensive set of measurements of various parts of the sea cow's anatomy.
		Steller notes that individuals or herds were often found near the mouths of freshwater streams or rivers, which suggests they could not tolerate drinking marine water.

		Steller himself is quite the opposite- very steadfast in the journey, and very focused on his work- what the expedition worked hard for ten years to prepare for- to study the area and peoples and flora and fauna etc. beyond the 60th parallel NE of Russia.
		The problem is, is that often I feel the Captain's wariness is justified, while Steller would rather just go off and study plants and the indigenes, irrespective (oblivious?) of the dangers of the region and the timeframe before the onset of winter.

	Steller
		Georg Wilhelm Steller was a 33-year-old naturalist assigned to Vitus Bering’s ship, St. Peter, which sailed from the Russian Kamchatkan Peninsula in early June 1742 to seek the North American mainland.
		Evidence of the St. Peter crew's appreciation for Steller's saving many of their lives is found in the fact that most of them signed over a share of the valuable pelts they collected on the voyage to him.
		Steller would live only four more years but within that time he wrote extensively about the animals and plants of Siberia and the North Pacific as well as his travels.

		Traveling with the expedition was one of Kamchatka's great explorers: biologist and ethnologist, Georg Steller (in whose honor the Steller Sea Eagle and Steller Sea Cow are named).
		His journal entries of life at sea, first encounters with the native peoples of the Aleutian Islands, and wintering over on the uninhabited Kommandorsky Islands are unmatched for their first-hand, unfiltered observations of a world where Europeans had never yet set foot.
		Although more than 250 years have passed since Steller wrote his private journal, the text, translated from the original German, is lively, easily readable, and displays a compassion and insight which seems uncanny for the era.
