Baby Manatee and its mother swimming under a dock and eating mangrove leaves. Manatees eat just about any vegetation they can find, not just sea grass. Like bottlenose dolphins, the females raise the calves alone. And also like bottlenose dolphins, if you see a group of them, it is Not a family of directly related individuals. It's just a group of individuals that have decided to hang out together for a while. A group of manatees is an aggregation. #nature #animals #Awesome #wildlife #florida #e

Give Mating Manatees Their Space! It's common to see a mating manatee herd in shallow, nearshore Florida waters during the spring and summer months. If you encounter a herd, it's important to watch from a distance as these large, strong animals are focused on mating. Bystanders that get too close could be seriously injured. In most cases the manatees are not stranded, injured or distressed, and the public should not try to approach or assist the animals in any way. If you are concerned about a m

🌱Manatee Feeding Facts🌱 •Some manatees consume over 60 species of plants per day! Quite the variety!🌿 •Manatees have a long gut transit time, about seven days! This allows them to absorb as much nutrition from the vegetation as possible!☘️ •When manatees are feeding their lips and jaws are moving in a constant motion. They use the bristles on their lips to further assist in bringing plants and grass to their mouth!🌿 | Bird's Underwater Dive Center

Manatees—often called sea cows—are “charismatic” wild animals that hold humans in their thrall. Neither predator nor prey, these peaceable creatures, which can grow to 13 feet and weigh more than 2,000 pounds, are evolutionarily devoid of aggression. https://on.natgeo.com/3VScY3G Video by Gena Steffens and Jason Gulley. | National Geographic

This Manatee calf was born during the current red tide event in St Petersburg / Tampa, Florida. The little dumpling is only a few days old. There's been a lot of misunderstanding about what is going on where with the Manatees in Florida so here's a simple breakdown. Manatees are starving to death, but not all over the state.

Manatee exploring a clear boat with its hairy nose. Manatees use their nose and mouth to check things out. They often scrape algae off the hulls of anchored or docked boats. They eat vegetation like sea grass and mangrove leaves but will taste test almost anything they find. #animals #wildlife #manatee #nature #florida #boating #Awesome #stpete #explore #ocean #manatees #clearboat #boat #outdoors #sealife #natgeo Nat Geo Wild Visit St. Pete/Clearwater The Dodo | See Through Canoe
