By Joe B media type="custom" key="3657405"

The manatee is known as the sea cow, because of its chuby, big appearance. The manatee is a a large, fully acuatic marine mammal. It has gray skin, a big snout, paddle like fins, and a flat tail. The manatee can be found in Alabama, Georgia, and South carolina in the summer. In the winter, they can be found in Florida. The manatee's live in mostly shallow, slow moving rivers, estuaries, saltwater bays, and canals. The manatee's diet consists of lots of different kinds of semi- acuatic sea plants. Their diet includes manatee grass, turtle grass, various species of algae, mangrove leaves. The manatees are endangered because of speed boats and their propellers hitting the manatees. The blows to the manatees body can be fatal, but the main problem is the cuts are getting infected. We can save the manatee from exctinction by not driving motorboats in their habitat, and also we can stop polluting the water.
