A sea cow was a non-sentient creature. Aquatic cows could be found on Chad and could occasionally become trapped under ice. Callista Ming and her family had a herd of the creatures as part of their deep-sea ranch.
"Sea cow" is an alternate name for marine mammals in the order Sirenia, including manatees, dugongs, and the extinct Steller's sea cow.
