Manatees are large, slow-moving, aquatic mammals that live in rivers, estuaries, bays and coastal areas where there are warm water temperatures. They are gentle creatures with a unique appearance unlike any other animal on earth; their flippers look like hands with five fingers each!

The manatee is considered a sacred animal by many cultures around the world, including those of the Native Americans, who use its markings to decorate their homes and ceremonial garments with messages about healing or unity. In fact, there are many different tribes across North America that believe if you see one swimming in your dreams then it means you will soon find peace within yourself.

Manatees belong to the species of mammals called Sirenia.

Manatees belong to the species of mammals called Sirenia. The group also includes dugongs and Steller's sea cow, which went extinct in the 18th century. To be considered a sirenian, an animal must have a tail like a whale but it cannot be longer than its body. It must also have no incisor or canine teeth (the front teeth).

Sirenians are herbivores that feed on aquatic plants, as well as seaweed or kelp. Manatees can eat up to 40% of their body weight in one day!

There are three different species of manatee; the Florida manatee, the Amazonian and the West Indian manatee.

There are three different species of manatee; the Florida manatee, the Amazonian and the West Indian manatee. The Florida manatee is an endangered species and is found in shallow coastal waters around both sides of Florida. It has a rounded head, heart-shaped tail, no teeth and thick wrinkled skin on its belly.

The Amazonian or Brazillian Manatee can grow up to 14ft long and weigh 1 ton! They live in groups called schools or herds along riverbanks and can also be seen underwater searching for food with their long snouts.

West Indian Manatees live mostly in shallow coastal areas around Central America as well as parts of South America like Brazil where they feed on sea grasses which they eat whole!

Manatees are gentle creatures that love to bask in warm waters.

Manatees are gentle creatures that love to bask in warm waters. They are marine mammals and herbivores, which means they eat only plants. They also have a low metabolic rate, so they require less energy than other animals. This means that manatees can be active for only two hours per day and still survive just fine.

The manatee is an endangered animal, although it has been protected by the Endangered Species Act since 1972. In fact, there were once so many manatees in Florida that locals considered them a pest! Today there are around 6,000 left worldwide due to hunting and habitat destruction from tourism developments like oil rigs or power plants on waterways where they swim (which also heats up their waters).

Manatees prefer to live in shallow waters such as bays, estuaries and rivers.

When it comes to manatees and their habitat, you'll find that there are several things about them that make them unique. The first is their preference for warm waters. Most of the time, you'll find a manatee in shallow waters along the coast or close to rivers and streams. They're not found in the Atlantic Ocean or Pacific Ocean, but they are found in most areas around the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and Amazon River.

Manatees like living near shallow waters because they can easily reach up onto land when they need to escape predators or get away from people who might be bothering them. In fact, these creatures have been known to leap out of water up onto shorelines in order to escape danger!

In total there are believed to be around 13,000 of these gentle giants left on Earth.

In total there are believed to be around 13,000 of these gentle giants left on Earth. They are a protected species in the US and are found in the wild in Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Cuba. Manatees can also be found in captivity in aquariums all over the world.

Many people are not aware that in addition to humans, manatees can be attacked by alligators and sharks.

You might think manatees are just peaceful, gentle creatures that float in the water, but they are also preyed on by sharks and alligators.

In fact, manatees have been hunted for centuries by humans. In addition to eating them as food, their fat has been used in everything from cosmetics to fuel. The meat is high in protein and low in cholesterol and saturated fats—but it's still considered endangered because of this hunting.

Sadly, the battle for survival is one that the manatee must face every day.

Sadly, the battle for survival is one that the manatee must face every day. The manatee is an endangered species and is threatened by habitat loss, pollution and hunting. Manatees are also at risk of being hit by boats or getting caught in fishing nets or plastic bags.

As you can see, the struggle for survival is very real for the manatee and it is up to us as humans to help this beautiful creature survive and thrive again on our planet.

The manatee is a gentle giant. They have a large body that is blubbery and smooth, with no hair or fur like other mammals. They have no teeth, but have tough lips to chew their food. Manatees live in shallow waters along coasts and rivers. In the past, manatees were hunted for their meat and oil; now they are protected by law in many areas of the world.

Manatees are mammals that belong to an order called Sirenia which means "lady-of-the-sea." They live in warm climates such as Florida or Brazil where there are few predators so they can swim freely without fear of being eaten by sharks or other large fish like barracudas or hammerheads (although we will not go into detail about how manatees do get eaten). Sea cows can grow up to 10 feet long with males weighing 1500 pounds!

Luckily, in recent years there have been efforts made by conservationist groups such as Save The Manatee Club who aim to create awareness of the plight of this gentle giant and raise funds for research projects designed to protect them from extinction.

Manatee conservation is very important at this time. There are many ways you can help protect these amazing creatures from extinction, including:

• Becoming a manatee conservationist yourself. There are many groups that run programs designed to educate the public about manatees and raise money for research grants or protection efforts, such as Save The Manatee Club or the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.

• Sharing information about manatee conservation with friends, family members, coworkers and even strangers you meet online through social media sites like Facebook or Twitter.

Conclusion

We hope that this article has helped you to gain a better understanding of what a manatee is, their connection with humans and why they are so important. Manatees are gentle creatures who love to bask in warm waters and as such are very easy targets for hunters who want to kill them for their meat, skin or ivory teeth which can be sold on the black market. It's up to us as humans to help this beautiful creature survive and thrive again on our planet by raising awareness about how threatened they are from extinction due
