are also referred to as "sea cows". Can you sea why? 😉
A few reasons why you should protect and care about manatees:
They are cute
They eat and sleep for most of the day
They are an integral part of our ocean's ecology
Some fun facts about manatees
are that to breathe, they must surface every three to five minutes. They
can also hold their breath for up to 20 minutes. When they do take a
breath, 90% of the air in their lungs is replaced, compared to humans, who
only replace about 10%.
