In Florida,where I have lived 5 years, there are many Manatees. Manatees are herbivore Mammals and live in warm waters ( lakes and rivers).
In the ancient times most people confused them
with sirens. It was because of their tails and the fact that they got close to the ships.
The sad thing about Manatees is that they are endangered animals. One reason is that when the water is cold they die. Another reason is that the blades of the motor boat can kill them when they pass by.
When I was little I once touch them!!!!.
They're beautiful creatures, aren't they Cristina! Thanks for making this post!
