Unlike other marine mammals, manatees have a flattened, paddle-shaped tail rather than a lobe-shaped tail.
mais que eu!
Manatees can live up to 60 years in the wild.
interessante e a gente pensando que o rapaz da foto era gordo!
They have a thick layer of fat, known as a "blubber," which helps them maintain a stable body temperature in cold water.
mais um motivo pra nao irem fundo!
Manatees have lungs and must breathe air at the surface every few minutes.

Although they are aquatic animals, manatees cannot survive in salt water and are dependent on fresh or brackish water for their survival.

30 km/h é bem rapido!
They have an average swimming speed of 5 to 8 kilometers per hour, but can quickly reach speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour over short distances.
Manatees have sensitive whiskers around their mouths that help them detect objects and food in the water.
During the breeding season, manatees gather in large groups and perform courtship displays that include hugging and flipping.
Manatees gestate for approximately 12 to 14 months and generally give birth to a single calf.
Manatee calves, called "babies," are born in the water and are capable of swimming and breathing on their own shortly after birth.
Manatees are migratory animals, moving in search of food and warmer water during cold seasons.
They are considered an endangered species due to habitat loss, poaching, and collision with boats.
Their diet consists of large amounts of plants due to their low nutritional content, which requires them to spend a lot of time feeding.
Manatees have a large storage capacity for fat in their bodies, which allows them to survive during periods of food shortages.
Despite their large size, manatees are herbivorous animals and do not pose a threat to other marine animals.
Manatees have thick, rough skin that protects them from injury and sun exposure.
Los manatíes tienen la capacidad de cerrar sus fosas nasales para evitar la entrada de agua cuando están sumergidos.
Despite being aquatic animals, manatees have a similar bone structure to elephants and are evolutionarily related to them.
Manatees have limited vision, but they have good hearing and can detect vibrations in the water.
They are considered guardians of the aquatic ecosystem, since their diet helps maintain the balance of aquatic plants and coastal ecosystems.
Manatees play an important role in the dispersal of aquatic plant seeds by excreting the seeds in different areas.
Throughout history, manatees have been the subject of legends and myths in various cultures, being considered mystical creatures and protectors of water.
Manatees can consume up to 10% of their body weight in food each day.
Although manatees are calm animals, they can use their powerful bodies to defend themselves against predators.
Manatees have very sensitive skin and can be comfortable with human contact as long as it is gentle and respectful.
Manatees have a dense, heavy skeleton that helps them stay submerged in water.
Manatee footprints can be found at the bottom of the water, leaving a characteristic heart-shaped trail.
