Manatee 2
Having no front teeth the manatee depends on the split, prehensile lips to tear at branches
hanging over the water and to pull weeds from the waterways. Manatees will eat almost any
vegetation. These gentle creatures are known to be quite inquisitive, greeting people on the
shorelines and visiting fishing boats. They live in solitude or in groups which may number up to 20
individuals. They swim slowly and with great effort. MORE!
