Manatee 3
The cows and bulls will play vigorously with
one another during mating season, finally dragging themselves onto the bank and embracing as they lay on their sides.
After a gestation period of no more than 180 days, a single calf is born. This calf is born
underwater and is immediately brought to the surface to breath. Calves, such as this little one,
are nursed by their mothers. Manatees are found in the
Caribbean and off the coast of West Africa. Back to Manatee.
