Description
The Manatee, one of the world's gentlest creatures, spends its days resting, migrating and grazing in shallow waterways. The three species alive today include the West African, Amazonian and West Indian Manatees. A close relative, the Dugong, lives in areas around Australia. These large sea mammals are an average of 10 feet long and weigh around 1000 lbs. Although its common nickname is "seacow," the Manatee's closest relative is actually the elephant. Manatees are very slow, mild creatures and have no living enemies. Their family structure is similar to that of the human nuclear family: a male, a female and one or two babies. In many countries, Manatees and dugongs are hunted for their hides, bones and meat. Hunting is rare in Florida, but more than 200 continue to die each year as a result of speedboat accidents, being crushed in locks and dams, getting entangled in fishing lines, and habitat loss. Currently, only about 2,000 Manatees remain in the United States. With between 800-1,000 people moving to Florida every day and well over 700,000 registered boats in the state, Manatees are animals that need the help of concerned humans in order to survive.
