*** About West Indian Manatees:

*** West Indian manatees, also known as sea cows, are large marine mammals known for their gentle nature and slow movements. Found in shallow, slow-moving rivers, estuaries, saltwater bays, canals, and coastal areas, they are predominantly herbivores, feeding on a variety of submerged and floating vegetation. The species is divided into two subspecies, the Florida manatee and the Antillean manatee, both of which face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and boat strikes. Conservation efforts are critical in maintaining the stability of their populations, involving strict protective measures and extensive public educational programs to safeguard these serene giants.
