Manatees | PBS LearningMediaVeterinarian Mark Lowe talks about the Florida manatee in this video segment from WILD TV. Lowe describes his fascination with manatees which are an endangered species. Manatees have been in existence for millions of years. They are peaceful animals. Each has its own personality. A large public education program helps people learn about the history of manatees and the dangers they face with the decreasing supplies of vegetation and clean water they need to survive. Humans must be aware of how we pollute their water and endanger their survival when we use motorized vehicles in waters where they live.

Manatees explained: Inside the slow-paced lives of "sea cows"Manatees are aquatic mammals with voracious appetites—spending up to 8 hours a day grazing.

West Indian Manatees ~ MarineBio Conservation SocietyWest Indian manatees, Trichechus manatus (Linnaeus, 1758), aka American, Antillean, Caribbean, North American or Florida manatees and sea cows, are large, gray-brown aquatic mammals with bodies that taper to a large flat, paddle-shaped tail. They have two flippers with three to four nails on each, and their head and face are wrinkled with whiskers on the snout. The manatee’s closest relative is the elephant and the hyrax (a small furry rodent-like animal).
