*** About Manatees: Manatees, often referred to as sea cows, are large marine mammals known for their gentle nature and slow-paced lifestyle. These creatures are mostly herbivorous and spend the majority of their time grazing in shallow waters along coastlines and rivers. Manatees have a robust, yet streamlined body with a paddle-shaped tail, and their closest relatives are elephants. Despite their size, they are graceful swimmers and can navigate both saltwater and freshwater environments. Manatees are currently listed as vulnerable due to threats such as habitat destruction, water pollution, and collisions with watercraft. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure that future generations may also witness these serene interactions between man and marine life.
