*** About Manatees: Manatees, often called sea cows, are large, fully aquatic, mostly herbivorous marine mammals belonging to the family Trichechidae. Known for their gentle disposition and slow-paced lifestyles, these marine mammals are primarily found in shallow coastal waters and rivers where they feed on sea grass, algae, and other aquatic plants. Despite their peaceful nature, manatees face threats from habitat destruction and boat strikes, making them listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. Conservation efforts continue to be critical for the survival of these creatures, emphasizing the importance of protected areas and responsible boating habits to shelter their populations.
