According to the Citrus County Chronicle, the manatee was found Sunday in waters inside Ichetucknee Springs State Park in North-Central Florida.

Here is the video of the poor manatee that had "TRUMP" carved into its body.

"It's been my experience that this is very out of character for this community", Craig Cavanna, a senior federal wildlife officer and current investigating officer, told the regional outlet.

United States authorities are searching for the person who carved "Trump" into a manatee's back in a Florida river last weekend.

FWS is looking for any information that may assist with the case, and urged anyone with any information to contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation hotline at 888-404-3922.

"It's heartbreaking that this manatee was subjected to this vile, criminal act", the Center's Florida director Jaclyn Lopez said in a statement on Monday.

It is unknown when the carving occurred or the political affiliation of those involved, but the Center offered an award of $5,000 for any information leading to the conviction of the perpetrator.

Manatees were considered an endangered species until 2017 when that designation was lifted and downgraded to "threatened".

"It's clear that whoever harmed this defenseless, gentle giant is capable of doing grave violence and needs to be apprehended immediately", she added.
