Manatee
Manatees, also known as sea cows, are gentle giants of the ocean. These aquatic mammals are found in shallow, slow-moving rivers, bays, estuaries, and coastal areas throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, Africa, and Australia. There are three species of manatees: the West Indian manatee, the Amazonian manatee, and the West African manatee. In this article, we will focus on the West Indian manatee, which is the most well-known and studied species.
