We were at the dock the other day and saw a manatees up close - so cool..... He was drinking fresh water and we could have reached out and touched him or her. The girls and I were so excited that I forgot that I could take a video so all we have are pictures. We went home that night and looked it up and found some other stuff out about them...
They weigh 800 - 1200 pounds, live 60 years, are mammals (breath air every 5 min), eat plants, have babies every 2 to 5 years, swim very slow and get hurt by fast speed boats a lot because they stay close to the surface and can't get out of the way and lots more.....
