@Smuconlaw There's a 19th century result on google books:

1881, Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, page 455:
With reference to the conversation we had respecting the Amanaty, I have much pleasure in giving you the following information, facts well known by all European traders and missionaries stationed in Old Calabar.

I'm not entirely sure that this is the same meaning (or that the date is accurate). DTLHS (talk) 01:24, 1 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

This seems like some kind of aquatic animal. First, it's an article from a zoological journal, and secondly the "Amanaty" is described as "well known as going ashore at quiet places after sunset, [] and feeding on grass which grows freely amongst Indian corn." — SMUconlaw (talk) 13:58, 1 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
